The service area is designed <br />to allow trucks to back into it. <br /> <br />Signage <br /> <br />Signage has not been developed by the school at this point.

The new intersection will include turn lanes and a traffic signal. The intersection <br />improvement will be required to be complete prior a certificate of occupancy is issued for the <br />school. The applicant is working with the City, MnDOT and Washington County on the design <br />of the intersection and issuance of permits. <br /> <br />Parking and driveways <br /> <br />The City ordinances require one space per classroom plus one parking space for each 100 <br />students. Special event space, like gymnasiums are calculated separately at one parking space per <br />three seats, based on capacity design per building code requirements. The required amount <br />parking for the site is 237 spaces. The applicant is proposing 199 parking spaces. The applicant is <br />required to show proof of parking on the site to be built in the future if needed as deemed <br />necessary by the City. It is in staff opinion that 199 spaces to be built is sufficient at this time. <br />There is also a lot of space in the driveway loop for temporary parallel parking if needed. <br /> <br />The main parking area is at the northeast side of the building with a well-designed <br />driveway/drop-off area surrounding the parking to access the main entrance of the building. <br />There is a secondary parking area south the building that includes the bus drop-off area. The <br />pubic and bus traffic circulation will work well on the site. <br /> <br />Sidewalks/Trails <br /> <br />A bituminous trail is being provided surrounding the site and it connects to the neighborhood to <br />the north and the Hardwood Creek Trail to the east. Sidewalks interior to the site are being <br />provided by the school, connecting the building and parking lots to the trail system.
