wu `White Bear Lake e • Area Schools Transportation and Maintenance Facility Overview The functions that would be located on this site include: Independent School District #624 White Bear Lake Area Schools 2019 Referendum Projects Revised November 14, 2019 • Bus and van/shuttle parking (approx. 75 vehicles total of varying sizes, outdoors) • Building space for offices for transportation and maintenance staff (approx. 5,000 SF) • Building space to support maintenance of buses and other vehicles (approx. 10,000 SF), including vehicle lifts, parts/tools/work areas and storage • Fueling for vehicles (diesel and unleaded) • Parking for staff and drivers (approx. 100 stalls) Given that these uses require parking, maintenance/vehicle service, and fueling, the District proposes that these uses would be best characterized as an Essential Public Service, which is a permitted use. The District proposes that the vehicleparking be located outside, which exceeds the total area of proposed buildings and requires a Conditional Use Permit. The vehicles proposed to be stored at and operated out of this site are used for specific transportation needs, including special education transportation vehicles and buses that serve to meet the needs of field trips / activities. Buses that are used for standard bus routes are provided through a contract with First Student and are stored on a separate site (not proposed to be relocated to this site as a part of this request). As a result, on average, about 10 buses would begin routes at the start of the day (6:30 AM), with other vehicles having staggered start times to their routes. Some vehicles serve as backup / spare vehicles, and as such would not always leave the site unless another vehicle was not in service. Approximately 60% of the vehicles proposed to be stored at this site are diesel and the other 40% use unleaded fuel.
