City of Arden Hills City Council Meeting for May 22, 2019 P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2018\PC 18-014 - Mounds View School District - 1900 & 1901 Lake Valentine Road\Memos Reports Page 2 of 12 Road as a bus storage facility began in the 1950’s and the current building onsite was also constructed at that time. The subject property was then annexed to the City of Arden Hills from the City of New Brighton in the 1960’s. The use has operated under a Special/Conditional Use Permit. At their October 26, 2009 meeting the City Council approved a Conditional Use Permit Amendment to state that the number of buses allowed to operate and park at this subject property is limited to 150 large buses and a maximum of 175 buses from September 1 through June 15 and a maximum of 150 buses during the remainder of the year. In addition to bus parking, the previous property owner was selling parking permits to an unknown number of students for at least the last five (5) years. The existing parking lot has nine (9) lighting fixtures and the existing building has three (3) security lights as shown on the image below. The Applicant is proposing to utilize the exiting parking lot for visitor, staff and student parking. However, due to funding restraints, the applicant is proposing to make temporary improvements to the parking lot surface, including but not limited to filling potholes, sealcoating, and restriping the parking lot for more efficient car parking. In addition, the Applicant will be installing fencing around the existing motor fuel island to restrict parking and loitering under the canopy. The Applicant recognizes that ongoing maintenance to the parking lot will be required until funding is available to reconstruct the parking lot. As a condition of approval, Site Plan Review is required for the reconstruction of the parking lot. The intent of requiring Site Plan Review is to insure the parking lot is reconstructed in conformance with City Code and Rice Creek Watershed standards.
