Independent School District #728 May 24, 1994 Page 2 e CLASSROOMS The classrooms were purchased from the Mora School District, which also used these classrooms on a temporary basis. Building Official Cliff Skogstad has met with the School District's architect and is confident that these classrooms can meet building code. Each classroom will be placed on a permanent foundation and will have direct access to the existing school. BUILDING ELEVATIONS The proposed classrooms will be constructed of wood and painted to be compatible with the existing brick school. Staff is concerned that these types of buildings occasionally evolve into a permanent situation. Therefore, if this proposal is approved, staff recommends a three year time frame be established. If the classrooms are still being used after three years, the School District will be required to update the exterior to brick to match the exterior of the existing school. EMERGENCY ACCESS e Along the north end of the school there is a ten (10) foot wide sidewalk that presently is used as an emergency access. The site plan does not clearly illustrate the proximity of the sidewalk to the proposed classrooms. If the classrooms cross the sidewalk, another emergency access must be provided north of the classroom. Staff will require that the emergency access be hard surfaced, properly sized, and maintained throughout the year. PARKING The existing parking lot appears to be adequate for the Junior High's needs. The addition of two classrooms should not trigger the need for additional parking. If parking does become a problem, the School District has ample room for the parking lot to be expanded. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of the conditional use permit request for the addition of two (2) 24' x 36' temporary classrooms to Vandenberg Junior High School with the following conditions: 1. EACH CLASSROOM WILL BE REQUIRED TO MEET STATE AND LOCAL BUILDING CODE PRIOR TO THE e school.pc
