<br /> <br />City of Arden Hills <br />City Council Work Session for November 17, 2018 <br />P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2018\PC 18-014 - Mounds View School District - 1900 & 1901 Lake Valentine Road\CC Packet_(11-21-18)_18-014 <br /> <br />Page 2 of 2 <br />Concept Plan Proposal <br />The concept plan includes a 49,000 square foot gymnasium addition and two classroom additions, <br />totaling 27,300 square feet, to the existing high school building. The project also includes <br />renovation of 72,000 square feet within the existing building. <br /> <br />The plan also reconfigures the parking and drop-off areas. The current bus loop on the north side <br />of the building becomes the parent drop-off loop, while bus loading is moved to the parking lot to <br />the east of the school. The additions and the bus parking reduces the number of parking spaces on <br />the site to 210. To provide additional parking, the applicant is proposing to use of the former First <br />Student property. This site accommodates approximately 500 parking spaces on the north side of <br />Lake Valentine Road. The plan identifies new sidewalks, flashing pedestrian lights, and a <br />crosswalk with bump-outs for traffic control and pedestrian safety. The existing building on the <br />north property is intended for storage use. <br /> <br />Based on an initial review, staff believes the proposal would require the following land use <br />requests: <br /> Comprehensive Plan Amendment to change designation of the property at 1901 Lake <br />Valentine Road from Low Density Residential to Public and Institutional <br /> Planned Unit Development to allow the use of non-contiguous parcels as a single use <br /> <br />Issues for Possible Discussion <br />The Concept Plan Review process is an opportunity for the City Council to provide comments and <br />questions regarding proposed developments. A concept review is considered advisory and is <br />nonbinding to the City and applicant (Section 1320.14, Subd 4 of the Zo ning Code). No formal <br />action can be taken at a Work Session. A formal application will be subject to the full review <br />process, including a public hearing with Planning Commission and City Council review. <br /> <br />Some issues or questions the Council may wish to discuss include: <br /> Location of bus parking and parent drop-off loop <br /> Location of student parking <br /> Provisions for pedestrian and automobile safety <br /> Other items as may be determined by the Council <br /> <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> <br />A. Location Map <br />B. Land Use Application <br />C. Existing Conditions <br />D. Preliminary Development Plans and Renderings <br />
