Case #3: Request for Site Plan Approval of Clubhouse Expansion; Case of Rum River Hills Golf Course and Ringler Construction Assistant Community Development Director Frolik stated that the owners have submitted an application to expand the Rum River Hills clubhouse. She stated that they want to add a 1,472 sq. ft. 3- season porch, replace the existing decking and make it larger and to reside the exterior of the building. She stated that staff is recommending approval of the plans as proposed. She noted that the Planning Commission reviewed this on December 3, 2008 and recommended approval. Councilmember Elvig stated that he assumes there is ADA compliance built into the plans. Assistant Community Development Director Frolik stated that this would be handled under the Building Code requirements. Councilmember Elvig stated that he is concerned about the size of the deck and weight loads. Assistant Community Development Director Frolik stated that this would all be reviewed under the Building Code requirements and the plans would be signed by a certified architect. Mayor Gamec stated that in the past the City has not required fire suppression systems, so, it seems to him that if the City could delay this part and have the remodel be continued, as planned, that would be okay. He stated that he wonders if there is another system or code that should be changed regarding whether they have to put in that particular system. Councilmember Dehen stated that there was not anything about the fire suppression issue in the case report. Mayor Gamec stated that it is only his issue. He stated that he is just questioning whether the City had to do the fire suppression this way or not. Fire Chief Kapler stated that Matt Kohner, the Fire Inspector, might be able to better answer the question. He stated that Ramsey, per City code, adopts the amendments to the State Building and Fire Codes and the last one happened in July 2007. He stated that the fire suppression thresholds were changed and any "A" occupancy building needs to have sprinklers now. City Council / December 9, 2008 Page 7 of 17
