. . . plans that show actual construction (do not show) a 3'" island. It refers only to the tanks and the piping and monitoring not to any 3'd island, and these are the construction drawings.... That's what the Pennit is issued upon." "-" Mr. Morgan said it was the City's responsibility to note the ambiguity and ask for clarification. Council called upon Mark Zamoradi, engineer with Tank Protect Engineering, who submitted the drawings for the site. In response to Council questions regarding what Tank Protect actually applied for, Mr. Zamoradi said they applied for "a new island and have to remove one tank, install a new tank, redo entire piping and put new monitoring system as a result of what had happened at the site." In response to questions regarding the absence of detailed construction drawings of the new island, Mr. Zamoradi said "this is very standard procedure in the industry. I have done this many, many times. You never put anything in your first page, which basically says what you are proposing, because the island is nothing but a piece of metal going on top.... The rest of it is the underground tanks which detail is there showing exactly how it is connected and the piping which is shown on the first page. So the piping and the detail are very clearly shown and the island is also properly shown and this is very, very standard procedure." In response to City Attorney Schricker's questions, Mr. Zamoradi said he was involved in the preparation of the plans and the environmental aspects of the remediation. He answered further that he was retained specifically to prepare plans - for the 3'd island and the plans show the dimensions of the 3'" island to scale for construction drawing purposes. Mr. Zamoradi said the islands were prefabricated, ordered and just put in place. In response to Council questions, Building Official LaTorra said if he had been checking the drawings and/or checking to see if a Permit could be issued "I would have asked for a lot more detail than what is shown on these drawings... There is a scale shown here, but there are no dimensions, no indication of any steel, no issues of disabled access requirements, no striping, no indication of type of pumps that go on the island, no electrical details on connections. What I have been told by our Plan Checker is that the applicant came in and submitted these drawings and told our Plan Checker that they were doing what has been called a tank remediation. That they were merely installing a new tank, and were installing the monitoring for the three tanks." In response to City Attorney Schricker's questions, Official LaTorra said the underground installation plans (tank remediation) were accurate and typical, and no more infonnation was needed on those plans. In response to Council questions regarding determination of what is a residential area and what is not, City Attorney Schricker cited Article 35 "service stations located in neighborhood commercial centers is one criteria, and sites that adjoin residentially ~ zoned, or residentially developed property. There are three criteria that would qualify. . ..
