doing any exterior improvements that would interfere with any storm water drainage. e Mr. Klein asked if the muffler on the generator is going to be kept at 65 decibels or less at the property line. Mr. Fisher said that the decibel rating from any generator company is right at the generator itself and if for some reason it exceeded those decibels, they make additional enclosures that would muffle the sound even more. e Mr. Klein asked how wide the access around the building is. Mr. Fisher said that they have about 4 to 5 feet on either side. e Mr. Klein asked if they expect their employees to actually live that local that they're going to use their bicycles to get to and from work. Mr. Jackson said that he lives less than 3 minutes away from the property, so he will be using his bike and also, they do plan on hiring some local employees as well that may have the option of riding their bicycles e Mr. Klein asked in regards to the monitoring wells, how many hours a day will that fence be locked and not accessible to people. Mr. Jackson said that if they come from anytime between 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM he would be there for them to be able to check the monitoring wells. The gate will be locked at all times and no public access is allowed. ¢ Ms. Kapferer asked if there is going to be any exterior changes to the existing building. Mr. Stelly stated that the only exterior change that's going to happen there is an existing exterior stairwell on the outside of the building that will be removed. e Ms. Kapferer asked if there are any drainage improvements planned for the site. Mr. MacLeod said not for this applicant. e Ms. Kapferer asked if emergency access is only through Park Avenue.

Mr. Fisher said that the reason why there's no dimension on this particular drawing is because there's going to be a full set of construction documents once we get approval from the board tonight.

ractor to not only bid the job but also construct the job so it'll have very specific dimensions. ¢ Council President Rutherford asked if emergency vehicles will have access and enough space to enter the property. Mr. Sherrard said that the intention is to have the Knox box, if the fire department approves it. They can put two Knox boxes; one on the fence and one at the building. The one at the building would have the key and access control and the one at the gate could either supply the fire department with the key or we could have a Knox box mounted on the fence, which makes more sense, and then have them where they could open or they could do both through the Knox box. « Mayor McCartney asked if landscaping can be added to the property. Mr. Jackson said that they will commit to adding shrubs and trees around the building even though is an industrial area. e Mr. Klein asked what the future expansion will include. Mr. Jackson said the idea of any cultivator is, at some point, to be able to go from a micro to a full scale to be able to produce more cannabis.
