Memo to Mayor and City Council/CU 97-21 September 22, 1997 Page 2 proposed immediately west of the existing community education facility adjacent to Oak Knoll Park. In addition to the 16,000 sq. ft. building, a parking lot facility will be constructed on the existing soccer field immediately north of community education. The parking lot would be accessed from Proctor Avenue along the north side of the single family homes along Proctor and between the varsity baseball field. Parking and Circulation The proposed parking lot will accommodate approximately 180 vehicles. The ALC is proposed to have 8 classrooms with the capacity of 70 - 100 students. Based on the number of stalls provided, there should not be a parking problem based on the size of the proposed building. As mentioned above, access to the parking lot will be off of Proctor Avenue from the north end of the site. A new driveway approach will have to be constructed off of Proctor while closing the existing southerly access into the parking lot east of the varsity baseball field. This new driveway will provide access to both the existing parking lot and proposed parking lot for the ALC. In the report to the Planning Commission, it was suggested a driveway be constructed along the west side of the building to connect the new parking lot and the area south of Community Education with School Street. After further examination, a driveway along the west side of the building will be difficult to accomplish given the storm water management needs and maximizing the amount of parking on the south side of the building. Therefore, the School District has discussed showing a future driveway along the east side of the property as a future connection when the existing community education facility is removed and redeveloped as an addition to the proposed ALC structure. This connection from the proposed parking lot to School Street will be a much more efficient and logical connection than the one discussed around the west side of the ALC building. The proposed parking lot will be paved with curb and gutter around the entire perimeter. The School District has indicated that it is likely only half of the parking lot will be constructed at this time with the expansion of the parking lot occurring at a later date. It has been indicated the parking lot will be expanded from west to east (towards the residential). Therefore, those portions of the parking lot which will not be expanded at a later date will include curb and gutter. LandscaPing The proposed development plans will have to include a landscape plan illustrating the proposed landscaping around the new ALC building as well f:\shrdoc\council\cu97-21.doc
