Plannin� File 3392: Request by Family Academy for an Interim Use Permit to allow the temporary placement of a 56-foot by 72-foot modular (portable) classroom adjacent (south) the existing school, 3000 Hamline Avenue. Chairman Duncan opened the hearing and requested City Planner Thomas Paschke provide a summary of the project report dated June 5, 2002. Family Academy Charter School has submitted an application for an Interim Use Permit to allow a temporary modular classroom building (two units, total size 56 foot by 72 foot) on the south side of the school and adjacent to the front parking lot along Hamline Avenue. Family Academy has experienced steady student enrollment increases since 2000 and has in interest in offering additional programs. They ha�e determined a need for four additional classrooms outside of the e�sting (limited) classroom space within Advent Lutheran Church, and ha�e proposed installing a 56-foot by 72- foot (two units - 4,032 sq. ft.) modular classroom building on the south side of the school portion of the church. Thomas Paschke noted that bathroom capacity has not been determined at this time. The Planning staff recommended approval with conditions. Thomas Paschke explained past Interim Use Permits. Member Mulder asked for duration of the office interim use (three years). Ann Hennessey, Family Academy Dean, noted the growth of the student enrollment to 180; 6`�, 7�', 8`" grade students need more space; N.E. 9 16 will also need placement space for children with hearing problems. The ma�mum student enrollment is 225 students. The Charter School leases space for the three years. Advent Lutheran could expand their classroom space or the School will look for other space. Member Cunningham asked what the viability of long-term leases with Advent Lutheran was. The School would stay if the Church expanded. Member Mulder questioned the children's needs to move into the Church for la�atories. The lavatories should be placed in the interim buildings. Member Cunningham asked if sheltered walkways could be used for egress to Church. There were no public comments. Chair Duncan closed the hearing. Thomas Paschke noted the Church representatives supported the proposal.
