3. Providing a barrier that would prevent or deter students using the sidewalk along the south driveway from inadvertently falling into the driveway, and path of busses (e.g. during horseplay). It is Staff's preference that the applicant and Staff find a solution, to be approved administratively. Barriers can be physical or psychological. Being that neither one is fool -proof, a psychological barrier may be more appropriate (e.g. change in sidewalk texture, materials, striping, expansion joint spacing, etc.). 4. Additional signage in the north parking lot with the intent to limit access onto Woodale Dr, in response to a neighbor's objection to the driveway location. The north parking lot is intended to serve as staff parking, in addition to public parking for gym/pool activities. It is Staff's opinion that the Woodale Driveway not be limited to specific users (e.g. staff), as this is not enforceable. The north driveway access will allow faster ingress/egress of the parking lot (because there will be an additional exit), and should not significantly change the amount of eastbound traffic onto Woodale Dr. As part of the Public Hearing for the Variance to reduce the north parking lot setback, the City received emails from a resident, objecting to the proposed north driveway onto Woodale Dr due to additional traffic. The resident also has concerns about the lack of notice to neighboring residents, lack of additional crosswalks on Co Rd H, chlorine fumes from the new swimming pool, and parking lot snow storage. Staff Recommendation Staff recommends approval of Resolution 9034, approving a Development Review. The City Council is requested to consider the following options: 1. Approve Resolution 9034, approving of a Development Review. 2. Deny Resolution 9034, with cause. If choosing this option, Findings of Fact are necessary to support the denial. 3. Table the request. If additional information is needed before a decision can be rendered or if more discussion is needed, the City Council can simply move to table the request until such information has been provided. The City has 60 -days to take action on a completed application. The City has administratively extended its review, expiring Jan 25, 2019, to allow the Planning Commission to review the Development Review, and two variance applications at the same time (Nov 7, 2018). The City Council would need to act upon the request as soon as reasonably possible (prior to Jan 25, 2019) to avoid an inadvertent approval.
