These comments and <br />subsequent responses were reviewed with City Administration as well, on February 18, 2020. We <br />appreciate the continued collaboration and process to find solutions that work for the District as well <br />as the City. Let us know if you have any comments or require additional information at this time. <br /> <br />1) The access to the site on the west side of the parking lot will be modified to accommodate <br />right turn only traffic. <br />2) Currently, the District does not intend, or have the means necessary to relocate drop-off or <br />pick-up. If upon the completion of the parking lot project, backups continue to occur in <br />School Street, the District will work with the City to come to a resolution on this matter. <br />3) The School District was not involved in the reconstruction of the Lions Park Drive. As <br />indicated by Justin Femrite during a meeting with the school district on February 18th, the <br />repairs to the traffic signal will be completed by the city. <br />4) The proposed 30” line has always been anticipated in order to maximize the capacity of the <br />existing 42” sewer line running under Lion’s Park Drive. Per BKBM’s discussion with <br />Justin Femrite on February 18th, the proposed sewer line will be acceptable. <br />5) Currently the drive lanes leaving the parking lot are angled and 11’ wide. In addition, the <br />curb radius at this corner is 10’. The proposed drive lanes will be perpendicular to School <br />street and are each 14’ wide. The proposed curb radius at this corner will be 15’. The <br />revised entrance should improve or eliminate cars jumping the existing curb. <br />6) Noted for areas within the project extents. <br />7) The School District does not currently have plans to install electrical vehicle charging <br />stations at any of the schools. If conduit is needed for EV charging stations at any of the <br />designated ice arena stalls, please indicate where the proposed conduit is to run. <br />8) Noted. <br /> <br />If you have any questions, please contact me. <br />Sincerely, <br />BKBM ENGINEERS <br /> <br />Kevin Bohl <br />Direct Line: (763) 843-0427
