1304 Second Street South
Proposed Action.
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move that
Council adopt Resolution 94-90, resolution approvinq petition for
a fire protection system at Hopkins Auto Bodv, 1304 Second Street
South.
Adoption of this resolution will provide funding for a private
sprinkler system at Hopkins Auto Body.
Overview.
The owner of Hopkins Auto Body at its new location on County Road
3 is proposing to install automatic sprinklers as part of a fire
protection system. He wishes to finance the cost of this
installation under the city's current program where funds are
made available to commercial ventures for such protection and has
submitted a petition. The petitioner has received a proposal for
a wet system throughout the building, including an 80 x 100
section, one paint room, and 2 paint baths. The bid totals
. $13,390.
Section 429 of the State Statutes permits installation of fire
safety related devices and equipment to be installed and assessed
to benefited properties. The amount to be assessed would be the
total cost of the project plus an administrative fee as outlined
in the City'S Legislative Policy. Present policy is to charge 8%
interest and to assess over a ten-year period.
Primary Issues to Consider.
. Should the Council approve the petition?
The proposal meets all policy and code criteria and staff
recommends approval.
. Are adequate funds available?
This is the second 1994 project of this nature. By policy
the city sets aside $200,000 for a given calendar year for
fire protection petitions. Ample funds are available.

Falcon will provide necessary hangers for support of our
piping in accordance with NFPA #13. Falcon shall not be
required to furnish or install any material or device to
improve the structural strength of the building to enable it
to bear the load of the fire protection system. In
buildings where sprayed on fireproofing is used on building
