Helipad, 1100 Old Highway 8 NW, New Brighton, MN 55112 <br />Dear Mrs. Gundlach, <br />The intent of this letter is to provide an explanation of changes and updated rendering for <br />the APi Group helipad project. <br />Issue <br />Through working with MnDOT it was decided that APi needs a different MnDOT license <br />than previously thought. <br />Discussion <br />The list of requirements to obtain this license, a Private Use License, is much greater than <br />what is required to obtain the previous license, a Personal Use License. To meet the <br />Private Use requirements, AN had to alter the helipad design. <br />Recommendation <br />The original concept of the helipad remains intact. It is unlikely that the casual observer <br />will notice the existence of the helipad. We are keeping wind/dust barriers in place to <br />reduce impacts on the community, and the pleasant aesthetic of the helipad is still an <br />important consideration for APi. <br />To adhere to the Private Use License requirements, the landing surface needs to be <br />elevated 36". The elevated landing surface will be fully concealed behind a row of 36" <br />evergreen shrubs, and reinforced with a permeable turf enhancement product. A gradual <br />stair will connect the walkway to the landing surface. <br />
