<br />_____________________________________________________________________________________________ <br />City of Arden Hills <br />Planning Commission Meeting for May 8, 2019 <br />P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2018\PC 18-014 - Mounds View School District - 1900 & 1901 Lake Valentine <br />Road\Memos Reports <br />Page 7 of 14 <br />forcing students to navigate between multiple lanes of buses. The Applicant is proposing to <br />use the existing circle drive as the parent drop-off and pick-up. A turn lane will also be created <br />at the entrance to this driveway to limit the number of vehicles stacking on Lake Valentine <br />Road. The western half of the existing staff and student parking lot is proposed to be modified <br />to become a bus-dedicated lot with diagonal bus parking (no double-parking) and enough room <br />for the buses to turn around without having to back-up to exit the lot. As a condition of <br />approval, overnight school bus parking is prohibited. The eastern half of the existing parking <br />lot will remain largely unchanged and will be utilized for student parking. Sidewalks will be <br />added to direct student between the eastern parking lot and the main building.The figure below <br />illustrates the changes. <br /> <br />The proposed addition is not anticipated to generate additional parking demand on the campus. <br />Rather, the addition will support existing academic programs and the already planned for student <br />population on the campus. However, due to the creation of the bus staging area, the Applicant is <br />proposing to utilize the parking area on the recently acquired 1901 Lake Valentine Road for <br />additional staff and student parking. The existing school is currently under parked by 105 spaces. <br />Under the current proposal the school would have a surplus of 88 parking stalls as shown in the <br />table below. The proposed parking area will be utilized by staff, students and visitors. The timing <br />of the improvements to the north lot is unknown at this time, due to funding limitations. As a <br />condition of approval of the PUD, site plan approval will be required prior to any reconstruction <br />of this site. <br />
