Memo to Planning Commission/CU 97-21 <br /> August 26, 1997 <br /> Page 3 <br /> • Building Orientation <br /> The proposed angle of the ALC building does not allow for a driveway to <br /> connect the proposed parking lot with School Street to the south. If the <br /> building was reconfigured to be more parallel to School Street and the <br /> proposed parking area to the north, a driveway could be located around the <br /> west side of the building. This idea was presented to the School District <br /> which they said they would consider and discuss with the architects. <br /> Fire Protection <br /> The Fire Chief has indicated the existing watermain, which currently ends at <br /> the west end of School Street, should be looped through this site and back out <br /> to Proctor in order to provide the adequate fire flows to protect the proposed <br /> building. Looping of the watermain will also include the installation of at <br /> least one fire hydrant somewhere north of the building. <br /> Pedestrian Circulation <br /> Immediately to the west of the proposed ALC building is oak Knoll Park. As <br /> part of the planning for the proposed ALC building, a pedestrian corridor to <br /> • allow the construction of a 10'-12' bituminous pathway should be included <br /> which would extend from the planned trail system in the park along the <br /> southwest portion of the property and, eventually, along School Street to <br /> Proctor Avenue. In addition, the School District should provide the necessary <br /> sidewalks on site for pedestrian circulation around the school facility. <br /> Easements <br /> Elk River Municipal Utilities has indicated they have various electrical lines <br /> extending throughout the School District's property. Most of these electrical <br /> lines are not located in drainage and utility easements. Therefore, the <br /> Utility Department has asked that easements be granted for their existing <br /> utility lines. A legal description should be provided by the School District's <br /> surveyors which can then be attached to easement documents and recorded <br /> with Sherburne County. <br /> Drainage and Utilities <br /> Please refer to the attached memo from Terry Maurer for information on <br /> these issues. <br /> • <br /> \\elkriver\sys\shrdoc\planning\pc\cu97-21.doc <br />
