• property to the school district. A second meeting was held by the EDA <br /> concerning reviewing the site plan at the September 11, 1995 EDA meeting. <br /> Comments from the EDA concerned landscaping the loading dock and the <br /> use of the berming. The EDA was also concerned about the outdoor storage <br /> issues. Attached is a memo from Bill Rubin, Economic Development <br /> Coordinator, summarizing the EDA's position. <br /> The school district currently uses space in the City of Elk River's <br /> maintenance facility. Due to the increased space needs of the city public <br /> works department, the school district has been looking for additional space <br /> for the past few years. <br /> Site Plan <br /> The site plan indicates a 150 foot by 140 foot (21,000 square feet) pre-cast <br /> concrete building proposed for the site. The building will be used for vehicle <br /> storage, maintenance, general storage and office space. The plan indicates <br /> two loading docks on the north side of the building closest to Industrial <br /> Boulevard and six overhead doors on the south side for vehicle storage and <br /> maintenance. The site plan also indicates a large Northern Natural Gas <br /> easement near Industrial Boulevard. The school district is in the process of <br /> Sobtaining permission from the gas company to cross their gas easement. <br /> Parking and Drives <br /> The applicant is proposing to overlay the entire parking area and drives with <br /> a bituminous surface. The entry drive to the warehouse dock and past the <br /> southeast corner of the building is shown to be bound with concrete curb and <br /> gutter as required by city code. The south side of the parking area does not <br /> show curb and gutter at this time due to the fact that this area may be used <br /> for future expansion. <br /> The employee parking lot on the east side of the site indicates 16 parking <br /> stalls. Elk River City Ordinance requires 19 parking stalls for a building of <br /> this size and use. The applicant has, however, demonstrated an additional <br /> 10 parking stalls which could be added if parking would become a problem on <br /> the south side of the parking area. <br /> Drainage and Grading <br /> The applicant has not yet provided a drainage and grading plan for this site. <br /> If this application is approved, a drainage and grading plan must be <br /> reviewed and approved prior to issuance of a building permit. <br /> • <br /> s:p l annin g:p c:cu 95-24 <br />
