DISTlUCT Planner Bergly referred to his report dated March 3, 1993, and explained that in February, 1984, the City Council ar:proved a SUP for the site Master Plan for MVHS. '!he approval stipulated that for contemplated inprovements that were consistent with the Master Plan, only a Site Plan review process would be required rather than ~ the SUP. city staff has determined that because the elements in the =ent application deal only with site plan issues and no builclinJ additions or changes are proposed, the request be process'i!d as a site Plan review. '!he =ent request involves 3 elements: 1. Tennis Court: '!he existin] . 4 courts located west of the school will be removed and replaced with 8 new courts. A small parking lot will be added between the school and the new courts. 2. The student Drop Off lane: CUrrently allows 13 stalls between the buildin] and County Road F. This will be reconfigured with a one-way traffic pattern that will allow parents to drop students off in a safe manner. A sidewalk and steps will be added f= access to the main school entrance. 3. The Parking and Service Area On the SW corner of the buildin] will be expanded slightly to allow trucks to turn around in a sort of cul-de-sac arrangement and provide an inproved drive to this rear area. Planner Bergly reviewed the considerations listed in his report. A variance will be required f= either the front yard setback = f= the height of the fence in the front yard. Rationale f= either type of variance is as follows: 1. '!he regulations are established to protect the character of a residential district. 2. The use a=oss the street is industrial in nature (MnOOI' radio tower and Ryder School Bus garages) although in a Residential District the inpact of the higher fence on property a=oss the street would be insignificant. 3. There are no residents within 800 feet alol'XJ County Road F. 4. The school site is fully utilized and alternative location of an expanded tennis facility is not possible. . 5. The 35 feet of additional R/W at the NW corner =eates an artificial condition that does not affect the physical relationship between the roadway and the fence.
