U&I llv� 9 MEMO TO: MAYOR AND CITY COUNC 00 FROM: CLERK -ADMINISTRATOR DATE: JULY 13, 1988 9 SUBJECT: OCCUPANCY PERMIT - MOUNDS VIEW BUSINESS PARK BUILDING A The construction of Building A also known as the Clinch - On building in Mounds View Business Park has been completed and the developer, Everest Construction Company, has requested that the City issue an Occupancy Permit. As a result of this request, I requested that Building Official Jim Tobias and City Planner Kim Herman inspect the project and determine whether or not it is in compliance with the plans and specifications submitted and approved as part of the Development Agreement. This inspection resulted in a determination that the building was completed per the plans and specifications, however, not all trees had been planted pursuant to these plans and the sodding of the banks of the storm water retention pond on the east side of the site had not occurred. Attached please find a memorandum from Building Official Jim Tobias indicating the current status of the construction of the building. ��. In response to our determination that the project was not completed per plans, Mr. Rick Baker of Everest Construction advised the City by letter, copy attached, that the boulevard trees had initially been proposed to be planted at 30 feet off center but that the landscaper for the project felt that the spacing would be too close and the plans were changed to 40 feet on center resulting in a net shortfall of 11 trees. Mr. Baker proposes that once the entire project is completed, Everest would be willing to plant additional trees around the ponds and along Highway 10 to compensate for these adjustments. Mr. Baker also advises that due to the current dry weather sodding of the banks of the storm water retention pond was determined to be inadviseable and that they will agree to complete the sodding by October 1st of this year. In light of this information and the promisory statements made by Everest Construction regarding the two inconsistencies, Staff recommends that the Council authorize the issuance of an Occupancy Certificate for. Building A with the following contingencies. 1. The sodding of the banks of the storm water retention pond on the east side of the building be completed by October 1st of this year.
