• • ISD 12 Rezoning - Industrial June 13, 2001 page 6 the site has wetland constraints that must be addressed in the site design. Any wetland filling will require a wetland replacement plan. 4. The survey indicates that only the eastern half of 4th Avenue has been vacated. To accommodate the proposed development, the balance of 4th Street through the site must be vacated. 5. A utility easement following the 4th Street alignment must be established and recorded. The subdivision should also show ten -foot drainage and utility easements along the side and rear property lines. To avoid the need for lot width and building setback variances associated with the creation of a new lot, we would recommend that the proposed site be combined with the existing middle school site to create a single parcel. Combining the lots will allow the elementary school to utilize middle school land to meet the City's performance standards. Section 3.C.3 of the Lino Lakes Zoning Ordinance allows more than one principal building on PSP lots provided that all the performance standards of the Zoning Ordinance are met. Public Service Capacity: The site lies within the existing MUSA. The proposed site and school is not anticipated to overburden existing in -place utilities or municipal services. Transportation: The elementary school will gain its site access via shared driveways with the middle school accessing Elm Street. The combined campus will allow the middle school and elementary school to share bus service. The elementary school will be designed to accommodate between 750 and 1,000 students, resulting in staffing of approximately 75 people. Bus traffic, staff and visitor traffic will be the anticipated traffic generation. This traffic is not anticipated to overburden existing streets serving the site. RECOMMENDATION Any land use or zoning change is a policy decision that is determined by the City Council. In this request, the Council must weigh its decision against the criteria outlined in the body of this report. The Planning and Zoning Board reviewed this request and they recommend approval of the zoning change and minor subdivision subject to the following conditions: 1. The elementary school site is combined with the middle school site to create a single lot. 2. The applicant pursue a conditional use permit and submit detailed development plans for the site. The site plan should illustrate how the plan will be integrated with the middle school.
