Centennial School District - Elementary School Site and Building Plan Review/Conditional Use Permit September 24, 2001 Page 5 With a total of 173 stalls being provided on site, the minimum off-street parking supply requirements of the Ordinance have been satisfied. Access/Circulation/Parking Stall Dimensions: The elementary school is to be accessed via a northerly extension of the middle school access drive from Elm Street. The standards for access and traffic circulation are outlined in Section 3, Subdivision 5 of the City Code and illustrated below. As shown above, the subject property meets all of the requirements of the referenced section. Green Area: The Ordinance requires that a minimum of 35 percent of the subject site be devoted to open space, yard and/or landscaped area. The combined middle school/elementary school site significantly exceeds the minimum green area requirement. Trash Enclosure: Trash and recycling handling activities are to occur on the east side of the school (alongside the gymnasium). As a condition of site and building plan/conditional use permit approval, all trash handling equipment must be screened from view of adjacent properties by a fence of wall at least six feet in height with a minimum opaqueness of 80 percent. Lighting: The applicant's submission did not include a photometric lighting plan nor does the site plan illustrate exterior lighting locations. According to Section 3 Subd. 4.H of the Ordinance, any lighting used to illuminate an off-street parking area must be hooded and arranged to deflect light away public streets and adjacent properties. As a condition of site and building plan/conditional use permit approval, a photometric plan and light fixture details should be submitted subject to review and approval by the City Council. It has been indicated that the proposed ball fields will not be illuminated. It should be noted that if the school district does decide to illuminate the field at some future point, it would be necessary to process a conditional use permit amendment.
