PUBLIC HEARING: Lino Lakes Elementary School Renovation Conditional <br />Use Permit and Site Plan Review <br /> <br />Alex McKenzie, presented the staff report. Staff recommended approval of the Lino <br />Lakes Elementary School Renovation Conditional Use Permit and Site Plan Review. <br /> <br />Lino Lakes Elementary School is located at 725 Main Street and consists of two parcels <br />totaling almost 20 acres. The school was built in 1957 and has received multiple <br />additions in 1960, 1975 and most recently 1999. The renovation project will result in an <br />additional 4 classrooms. There will also be a large gathering space at the front/south side <br />of the building and an outdoor classroom to the west side of the building currently not in <br />existence. The school’s primary, current curriculum focus is STEM (Science, <br />Technology, Engineering, and Math) and there is a trend and expectation for an increased <br />student population. Much of the school’s HVAC systems are outdated, inefficient, and <br />provide only limited climate control. <br /> <br />Staff addressed questions of the Board including: <br /> <br />Mr. Root addressed traffic circulation in the parking lot, and solutions. Staff commented <br />that they are waiting on comments from Anoka County Highway Department, and the <br />boundaries of the parking lot will not change. Staff will work with applicant on solutions. <br /> <br />Mr. Stoesz asked if the school is a polling location, and staff believes it is not. Mr. Stoesz <br />asked if the flag pole will be relocated. Staff noted it should be located on the plan. <br /> <br />Nick Mannel with Loucks, discussed traffic circulation problems and agreeing to <br />conditions noted in staff report. <br /> <br />Ron Burris, principal at Lino Lakes Elementary School, discussed bus timing, parking <br />lot, and number of buses. <br /> <br />Chair Tralle declared the Public Hearing open at 6:53 p.m. <br /> <br />There was no one present to speak. <br /> <br />Mr. Laden made a MOTION to close the Public Hearing at 6:54 p.m. Motion was <br />supported by Mr. Evenson.
