Family Academy Charter School 2300 Hamline Avenue North Roseville, MN 55113 651.697.1740 July 6, 2000 SENT VIA E-MAIL Thomas Paschke City Planner City of Roseville 2660 Civic Center Drive Roseville, MN 55113 RE: Planning Commission Meeting'" July 12th Issuance of Interim Use Permit (3 year term) for placement of a modular unit upon Advent Lutheran Church - 3000 Hamline Avenue North - Roseville Dear Mr. Paschke and Planning Commission Members: Family Academy Charter School has now found a permanent site and is scheduled to open its K- 8 grade educational facility in September 2000. Family Academy will be located at the Advent Lutheran Church, 3000 Ramline Avenue North in Roseville. Family Academy has leased the interior south wing of the church. Unfortunately, the church does not have ample space to house all of Family Academy's classroom. Family Academy desires to place an eight unit classroom in the back parking lot of the church. Advent Lutheran Church is located on 11 acres of beautifully landscaped property and has a significant outdoor play area and extensive nature trail. The younger children (grades K-4) will be housed in the interior rental space of the Church. The older children, (grades 5-8), and administration offices, will be housed in the modular unit. The main school office will be inside the Church. As you all know, Family Academy has struggled to find a permanent home. We believe that Advent Lutheran Church is an optimal solution. The pastors, Thomas and Matthew Basich, have welcomed Family Academy with open arms. The Pastors are accustomed to shared space within their facility. For approximately the past 10 years, Advent has housed the Metro Music Conservatory and Yamaha Music schools. The schools have agreed to work cooperatively to incorporate a complete music, drama and fine arts program within Family Academy's philosophy.
