(To be referred back to Legislative Hearing on November 6) Sponsors: Noecker Chuck Repke and Barbara Ransom, Ree Parkside LLC, owner, appeared. Fire Supervisor A.J. Neis: update - we're here today to get a report on the status of a plan for the dryer vents Ms. Moermond: we were last here in Jul 2017 Mr. Repke: the dryers that we have are ventless dryers; the city doesn't recognize this type of ventless dryer 30 years after they were put into the building; as far as we're concerned, we've always been in compliance; now, that the city doesn't believe that those are qualified ventless dryers, we're prepared to do a plan to replace them; the City of Saint Paul Page 11 Legislative Hearings Meeting Minutes - Action Only November 6, 2018 reason for that is if we were looking to install venting on this building, we'd face an even bigger obstacle than we did 30 years ago when we started this because we already have tenants in there & we estimated about 3/4 of a million dollars to do it; then, you have to Heritage Preservation Commission (HPC) to accept a building in Lowertown, which would look somewhat like Swiss cheese -our proposal would be to do a replacement over time but within a year; we have 53 dryers to replace, so, we would do a minimum of 15 per quarter, starting Jan 1 - Mar 3; if the city gets any complaints from any particular units, we'd move those units to the top of the list; again, you're not getting a fire hazard situation because they do vent; the issue with this dryer type is that it requires that there's maintenance - somebody has to take care of the ___; the city doesn't recognize that anymore; so rather than fighting about it, we could keep what was recognized in 1980 that isn't recognized in 2018; that's our proposal Ms. Moermond: I could recommend to the Council that there's an extension to Jan 1, 2020 Mr. Repke: that would be fine Mr. Neis: do you have specs/model numbers for these dryers? I know that Ms. Shaff said that there were ventless dryers out there; If they were recognized 30 years ago, I'd like to investigate that; if we have the spec sheet that said that these ventless dryers were acceptable..... at least, I'd like to investigate that further Ms. Moermond: alright -Ms. Shaff did mention: "there are manufacturers that make dryers that do not have to vent outside" (an option) -I'll talk with the Sr. Mechanical Inspector about this -I'll plan to put this in front of City Council -send the model # to me; I'll route it -if you do a replacement plan, we'll go with Jan 1, 2020; if there's a way that the ones you have could work, then we'll get that info to you & you'll save more money -will have Sr. Mechanical Inspector review the specs -City Council will look at this Nov 28, 2018 ____ Referred to City Council due back November 28, 2018. 45 RLH FCO Appeal of Christina Harding, Harding Property Management, to a 18-180 Re-Inspection Fire Certificate of Occupancy With Deficiencies at 475 HATCH AVENUE.
