��-- � �1� ��Jw+�+�1� < MEMORANDUM DATE: February 22, 2010 TO: Mayor & City Council FROM: Meagan Beekman, City Planner SUBJECT: PC #: 09-016 Mounds View High School, Robert Madison Conditional Use Permit Amendment 1900 Lake Valentine Road Back�round Mounds View High School received a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) Amendment to construct a baseball field in the southwest corner of the school property in 2008. One of the conditions of approval of the CUP stated, "If foul balls are a problem after construction is completed, the Permittee shall work with the City and the neighbors to find appropriate solutions. The District shall implement the solutions as determined by the City". At their September 9, 2009, meeting the Planning Commission reviewed a request to construct a single stand of bleachers adjacent to the new ball field. During the public hearing a number of concerns were raised over frequent foul balls flying into adjacent properties. The Planning Commission voted to table the application due to this concern, and asked Mounds View High School to review the problem and provide a plan to deter foul balls from encroaching onto nei�hboring properties. The applicant reviewed a number of options for deterring foul balls and has amended their original application to include a foul ball netting system in addition to the stand of bleachers originally requested. According to the applicant the bleachers are needed to accommodate the needs of existing game watchers and to serve the needs of games that would already be taking place on the field. This project will not increase the number of students at the school. The netting system is needed in order to deter foul balls from flying into adjacent properties.
