TO: <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />Item # <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br /> Mayor & City Council <br /> <br /> Michele McPherso~ctor of Planning <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />December 13, 1999 - <br /> <br />SUBJECT: <br /> <br />Temporary Parking Lot, Elk River High <br />School <br /> <br />Request <br /> <br />The School District requests permission to build a temporary parking lot connected to <br />and west of their newly reconstructed parking lot. <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> <br />· Location Map <br />· Letter from Ron Bratlie, Director of Support Services, lSD #728 <br />· Map of Parking Lot, New Parking Area <br /> <br />Analysis <br /> <br />In order to prevent students from crossing Proctor Road, the School District has <br />decided to dose the parking lot adjacent to the Oak Knoll baseball fields/park. <br />Students are currently crossing Proctor Road in the middle of the street and not using <br />the approved crosswalk. <br /> <br />To provide additional parking, the School District would like to allow parking in a <br />designated area on the athletic field between the High School and Vandenberg. The <br />area would be marked by stakes and strings and would provide four rows of additional <br />parking. Access would be gained through the "welcome center" off of School Street. At <br />this time, the School District is proposing no improvements to this area, including no <br />class V. This area is proposed to be Phase 11 of the parking lot expansion. <br /> <br />While the zoning ordinance does not address "temporary" or "interim" uses at this time, <br />approval of this request is appropriate for public safety reasons. The School District is <br />requesting use of this area until June 15, 2000, at which time the area should be <br />restored, the parking lot expanded (if the referendum passes), or an Interim Use Permit <br />be approved. <br /> <br />13065 ()rom} Parkxvay · P.O.
