PLANNING COMMISSION <br />DATE: 5/24/93 <br />AGENDA ITEM: 7 <br />• <br />ITEM: Public hearing to review and to consider adopting the <br />official school plan for Falcon Heights Elementary <br />School on Garden Avenue <br />SUBMITTED BY: Mr. John Thein, Roseville Area School District 623 <br />REVIEWED BY: Susan Hoyt, City Administrator <br />Bill Westerberg, Assistant City Engineer <br />EXPLANATION/DESCRIPTION: <br />The Falcon Heights Elementary. School is being remodeled this <br />summer. The plans for the remodeling are submitted to the city <br />for its review and comment as part. of the process for adopting <br />the official school plan (Chapter 9 §12.01(d)). Once the <br />official school plan is on file with the city (none currently <br />exists), any changes in the plan will be reviewed and adopted by <br />the city. <br />The plan identifies the additions made to the structure. as well <br />as the removal of an existing playground on the eastside of the <br />building and the addition of 35 new parking stalls on the <br />eastside of the property within 20 feet of the adjacent <br />residential property. <br />• The school district held a community/schoolwide information <br />meeting on the proposed plans in April. <br />Property owners within 350 feet of the property were notified of <br />this meeting. <br />STAFF COMMENTS: <br />The staff has three comments on this plan: <br />1. The addition of 35 parking spaces on the property 20 feet <br />from the homes should be adequately screened and the parking <br />lot lighting should not reflect into the adjoining property. <br />At an earlier meeting with city staff, school district <br />officials and the architect said that the neighboring <br />property owners were consulted about the planned changes. <br />2. The removal of the old playground equipment on the southeast <br />side of the site is not the playground equipment purchased, <br />in part, by the City of Falcon Heights. <br />3. The city is requiring that the site be connected to the <br />city's storm sewer on Garden Avenue; and that any future <br />• rebuilding in the existing parking lot on the wastside of <br />the property should include connecting it to storm sewer. <br />
