MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION SEPTEMBER 12, 2019 - 5 - away. He noted that Option 2 would give them the opportunity to add the nine spaces back and gives them better accessibility to the heat and electric sources that are needed for this classroom. He explained that they will be getting the classroom from a reputable temporary classroom distributer and everything would be ADA compatible. He requested that both location options remain open. Johnson asked if the parking spaces across from the trailer on Option 2 would need to be removed. Mr. Aasheim stated that there is still 17 feet for a drive aisle with the parking spaces there. Buesing asked what the minimum drive aisle width is. Grittman stated that the fire code requires a 20-foot drive aisle, and the width for 2-way traffic is 24 feet. He explained that if Option 2 were used, it would be best of the parking spaces across from the trailer were removed. Buesing stated that parallel parking could be done here instead if needed. He asked if the site has enough parking. Grittman stated that the number of spaces required was approved as part of the site plan for the PUD, but it appears there would be adequate parking on the site, even with the additional students. Mr. Aasheim stated that they would never see more than 100 students. He noted that it is next to impossible for an instructor to take on more than 10-12 students at a time. He reported they have 200 parking spaces and 10 handicap spaces.

He noted they have an issue with semi-trucks from the pallet company permanently parking on the shared driveway. Johnson asked if the 3205 building has enough parking. Mr. Wagner stated they are never even close to using half of their parking spaces. He noted that he also has a lot more parking than they need. Johnson suggested Option 2 would be more favorable if a condition was to block off the parking spaces across the from the trailer so the drive aisle is wide enough. Grittman stated that the Interim Use Permit would state that the removed spaces are temporary. Thorson asked if the trailer could be placed along the back, southeast corner of the building instead. Mr Aasheim explained that there are four doors along the rear of the building that cannot be blocked. Johnson moved approval of an Interim Use Permit for a temporary classroom trailer for up to 3 years at 3205 Country Drive, subject to the following conditions:
