The City of Elk River is requesting a conditional use <br />permit to construct a new ice arena and a variance to the parking lot setbacks <br />at the new ice arena site, northwest of the senior high school. The 2-3 foot <br />variance along the north property line is a result of the extension of the existing <br />service road. A second variance is along the eastern edge of the parking area <br />(2-5 ft.). <br /> <br />Jeff Gongoll, Chair of the Ice Arena Task Force, explained that the Task Force has <br />been meeting for the past 8-10 months. Members of the Ice Arena Task Force <br />include Dale Martin, Marly Glines, Larry Farber, John Dietz and Pat Klaers. Staff <br />support has been provided by Lori Johnson and, most recently, Cliff Skogstad and <br />Steve Ach. He stated that the existing facility is approximately 23 years old and is <br />not able to meet the needs of the community. He added that the Athletic <br />Conference may not permit Elk River home games in the future due to the limited <br />seating. Jeff noted that neighboring communities are willing to make a <br />commitment for leasing ice time to support the new facility. He stated that they <br />have received approval from the School Board to transfer property to the City for <br />the proposed ice arena. Jeff explained the progress on the project to date, <br />regarding selection of an architect and designing the ice arena. He noted the <br />Bank of Elk River, First National Bank and the State Bank of Rogers have agreed to <br />finance the project. He stated that by using this method of financing, they will <br />avoid costs associated with the bonding process. The total cost of the project is <br />$2 million. <br /> <br />Chuck Frieberg, RSP Architects, complimented the Task Force for their work on the <br />project. Mr. Frieberg provided an overview of the architectural aspects of the <br />proposed ice arena, highlighting the following: <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />-placement of new building parallel to existing facilities <br />-shared entrance, (point of control) <br />-creating additional 90+ parking stalls <br />-new drop area for teams <br />
