Thanks for having me @ the meeting!
I am looking forward to this project. Adam, great idea to look @ the adjacent residential property to the east on CSAH 18.
The Architect Skip Sorensen inquired about the water table and I stated we have the typical problem with sump pumps
running. He indicated (as we discussed) that they would be looking @ a design with perimeter frost footings and slabs on
grade to avoid any water issues. No underground parking?
Skip indicated they construct safe areas in the building for bad weather but I do not think he is talking about an authentic
storm shelter. Al, I think in Delano they would be required to integrate an authentic storm shelter that would be
constructed according to Building Code/FEMA specifications. Minnesota is WIND ZONE 4 which is 250 Mph. due to
tornadoes. See attachment.
Later,,,
