Staff presented a minor site-plan alteration application for Blue Pearl Franklin at 1569 Mallory Lane, describing a proposal to install an emergency generator within a masonry enclosure that will include a vinyl gate. "So they're proposing a an emergency generator, to go right here and and a masonry enclosure to, to hide it. So it'll be a masonry enclosure to match the building and and a generator. So that's the proposal there. We have 10 conditions of approval and are recommending approval subject to the staff notes," the staff member said.
A commissioner asked for clarification on whether the enclosure would have a roof or other covering; staff clarified the enclosure will include a masonry wall with a vinyl gate. The commissioner also asked whether the unit would run on natural gas and whether fuel would be stored on site; the staff member said the generator is expected to be diesel, likely dual-fuel, and that the fire marshal would check for compliance related to fuel storage.
Staff said they would double-check fuel type and that the fire marshal had been consulted and was comfortable with the proposal. No formal motion or vote is recorded in the transcript excerpt; the staff recommendation included 10 conditions of approval and follow-up verification of fuel type and fire-marshal requirements.
