The center will be a <br />neighborhood center; a conglomerate of uses to serve the neighborhood. <br /> <br />The development time frame was described; construction is to begin in June for <br />occupancy in fall. There are portions of the center which are sprinklered. <br /> <br />Pat Borgman, Kraus-Anderson, was introduced. <br /> <br />Member Cunningham asked if there was not sprinklered where the school was <br />located, but must it be? Member Cunningham asked who would be the tenant for <br />the charitable gambling. Will the hours of operation be consistent with! <br />complementary to the school? (Bingo events start on Saturday and Sunday from <br />10:00 a.m. and last until 12:00 midnight. <br /> <br />The gambling that would occur weeknights would conflict with the school (most <br />day time users of charitable gaming are seniors). The uses do overlap. <br /> <br />Member Eglj asked for details of the square footage of the play area. There is a <br />. - play area for day care only (35 s.f. per child). Why is day care so far from play <br />area? Ann Husea, stated the day care is to be a family center wherein children <br />could be cared for while parents would visit the Charter School. <br /> <br />Ms. Husea stated that Districts 916 and 623 agreed to support this project. <br /> <br />Carol Koski, 2300 N. Hamline Avenue, noted that the project was, in part, <br />approved because of its location. The maximum number of students is 270. Most <br />students come from other districts. A pediatric office may also open to support <br />the school children. Food will be contracted to the site. Plumbing will be updated <br />for 200 children. <br /> <br />t/ <br />
