Planning Commission Minutes February 9, 1983 -5- He stated the college plans to use 10,000 sq. ft. which would provide 52 parking spaces for the school. Mr. Zilman commented that Mr. Vanasse, who owns the office building where the college proposes to locate, also owns the property across the street; and if necessary, there is room in that parking lot for overflow parking. The school could also require the students to park their cars at Rosedale and ride a bus to the school. In addition, the LaBelle's store has 50 spaces over what they are required, and the school would be willing to work with LaBelle's if a parking problem developed. Mrs. Dressler asked if the school was anticipating several Roseville residents to attend. Mr. Zilman responded they were certainly hoping that would be the case. Mrs. Dressler suggested the school encourage students to use their bikes, and that the school should provide bike racks. Mr. Zilman indicated this would be the only school they would have in the metropolitan area, and they would be willing to provide bike racks. Mr. Leonard Vanasse, owner of the office building, indicated they would have a lease with the college which would provide for review after 3 years. He stated that, as owner of the building, he cannot afford to have a parking problem. There are several other tenants, and parking is required for their needs. He thought the college would be able to provide for their parking needs, and felt that the college should be given a chance to be located in the building. Mr. Dahlgren suggested that one of the options would be to provide for a review of the parking situation after three years, which would correspond to the lease agreement. Mrs. Lucille Eng, 2213 Midlothian, inquired which of the buildings the college would be located in, and if there would be evening classes. Mr. Zilman responded it would be located in the north building; and at present, there are no plans for evening classes, but it was a possibility in the future. Mrs. Eng stated she was concerned the students might park on the residential streets, like Midlothian, and walk across the private property to the school. Mr. Zilman indicated they would take steps to assure that would not happen. Mr. Matson asked how many of the 11 schools presently had evening classes. Mr. Zilman indicated he was aware of one. Recommendation Matson Moved, Cushing Seconded, that the Commission recommend approval of Leonard Vanasse's request for special use permit at 1711 County Road B, with the following conditions:
