Item No. 6c - Lund -Martin Lithium Storage Building Application No. 78054 submitted by Lund -Martin Company consisting of site and building plan review of a 20' x 20' freestanding lithium storage building on the Medtronics site at 6700 Shingle Creek Parkway was recently approved by the City Council. Mr. Virgil Florhaug of Lund -Martin has recently contacted us regarding various minor revisions that they would like to make with respect to the.storage building. It is no longer their desire to have the building separated in half with a concrete divider, and -therefore, they do not feel it is necessary to have two doorways leading into the storage structure. They propose to have one door- way on the south side of the structure and an exit doorway on the north side. They also do not feel the elaborate heating and cooling system proposed for the storage building is necessary. Rather, they propose to use a residential type air conditioning unit to control humidity in the summertime and also provide electric heat to maintain temperature control. For this reason, there would be no rooftop mechanical equipment, and they desire to eliminate the parapet proposed for the storage building. I have asked Lund -Martin to submit revised sketches outlining the proposed changes, and have indicated to him that the staff does not object to the proposed amendments. I have also reviewed this briefly with the Fire Chief who does not object to the amendments. We wish to briefly review this with the Planning Commission prior to `., permitting these alterations. 9-28-78 Planning Commission Information Sheet Application No. 78054 Applicant: Lund Martin Company Location: Medtronic, Inc., 6700 Shingle Creek Parkway Request: Site and Building Plan Approval The applicant is seeking site and building plan approval to construct a 20' by 20' freestanding lithium storage building on the Medtronic site at.6700 Shingle Creek Parkway. Presently lithium is stored in air tight containers located in a non- sprinklered area in the southeast portion of the building. Lithium reacts violently when exposed to water and, therefore, is stored in areas that have other fire extinguishing systems. The building would be located approximately 40 ft. from the existing building, and would be constructed with 12 inch concrete block. No sprinklers would be provided in the building, but other fire detection systems would be supplied. The Fire Chief has reviewed the plan and is familar with lithium. He has suggested, and the applicant has concurred, that heat and smoke detectors connected to a centrally monitored alarm system should be installed. A letter from Mr. Pete Wilcken of Medtronics is attached explaining further the reasons for wanting the addition for outside storage space. The plans seem to be in order and approval is recommended subject to the following conditions: 1. Building plans are subject to review and approval by the Building Official with respect to applicable codes prior to the issuance of permits. 2. Any grading, drainage, utility and berming plans are subject to approval by the City Engineer prior to the issuance of permits. 3. The proposed building will be equipped with a lithium -type fire extinguisher inside the door of each section of the proposed storage building. 4. Heat and smoke detectors will be provided in each section of the building and be connected to an approved fire monitoring system. 5. Any rooftop mechanical equipment exceeding the height of the proposed parapetshall be appropriately screened from view. Medtronic, Inc. 3055 Old Highway Eight P.O.

Lithium reacts violently when exposed to water and thus is shipped and stored in airtight containers which can only be opened in our dry room. We have been concerned for some time about the risk in- volved in the presently used method of storing lithium within our building. After investigating all available options with a variety of consultants we have concluded that the construction of a small uniquely designed build- ing that will be detached from our main facility is the best alternative. Our position is not only based on the desire to minimize the potential risk of a fire but also to provide the best possible circumstances for extinquish- a fire should one occur. We of course will be most appreciative of any recommenda- tions you can offer to increase the benefit of the proposed structure. In addition, we are prepared to act on any reason- able recommendation that will make this building aestheti- cally pleasing and compatible with the surrounding area. Page two City of Brooklyn Center July 12, 1978 We would appreciate your prompt review on this matter. If you have any questions or desire additional information, please contact us.
