Memorandum ver To: Planning Department From: Justin Femtite, P.E., City Engineer Date: 12-8-2015 Subject: Site Plan Review Meeting — December 7, 2015 The department listed above has reviewed the application(s) listed below and has the following comments: Case # CU 15-23, V 15-15 — Elk River School District #728 1 • The identified truck turning movements interfere with proposed parking spaces. This is not adequate. 2• When discussing the project with the architect prior to this submittal, we spoke of the need to show an interim parking plan that will be used until the full "west lot" is reconfigured (now indicated to be 2017). This shall include restriping of displaced parking stalls in closer proximity to the ice arena. Maintaining the existing conditions and layout for parking in the "west lot" is not sufficient. 3. At various planning meetings we have indicated the entrance of the access road, which goes between the proposed addition and the ice arena, should be reconfigured. It is hard to understand why the curbs are being put in only to require two sharp 90 degree movements. It is further difficult to understand how this new configuration might then tie into a final layout for the "west lot" in 2017. This should be revised to provide better flow and be set up to maximize parking and operational flow of the "west ice,. 4• We have had some discussions with your traffic engineer but have yet to receive a final report showing what will happen to traffic flow resulting from the disconnection of the existing north lane around the school. Preliminary discussions included the possible need to add a left turn signal to the traffic signal system on School Street for eastbound to northbound movements into the lot. If this is still the case, the project submittal should reflect making this improvement.
