Fire Chief Kapler stated that without <br />the ability to reach the attic, this would be a firefighter's nightmare. He suggested consideration <br />be given to using a dry system for sprinkling the attic. <br /> <br />Board Member LaDue inquired whether it made any difference if there were fire walls in the <br />attic, and Fire Chief Kapler replied it would obviously make a difference; any separation between <br />open areas would be of great value to fire suppression efforts. <br /> <br />Chairperson Deemer inquired whether the City was charged for services received from Andover <br />or Anoka. Fire Chief Kapler responded that there is no additional charge, although the City <br />should look at that assistance only on a short term basis and take the responsibility to cover its <br />own area. · <br /> <br />CITIZEN INPUT <br /> <br />Denise Albrecht, 5313 143rd Avenue NW, stated she finds it unnecessary to build a 3-story <br />building adjacent to single-family housing, and thought they should be able to get enough units <br />without a third level. <br /> <br />ADJOURNMENT <br /> <br />Motion by Board Member Bawden and seconded by Board Member Jensen to adjourn the public <br />hearing. <br /> <br />Amendment by Chairperson Deemer and seconded by Board Member Bawden to enter into the <br />record of this public hearing the memorandum from Fire Chief Kapler, dated August 25, 1998, <br />and the letter from Scott D.
