Overview
In order to accommodate the demand for additional space, the school district
is proposing to construct temporary classrooms in front of the existing senior
high along School Street. The proposed structure will be 55' by 76' (4,180
square feet) and be designed to accommodate four classrooms. The single
structure will have an internal design including a central corridor providing
access to each of the four classrooms, as well as two conference rooms and

• masonry piers to support the structure. To conceal the bottom of the

building, a skirting material supplied by the contractor will be provided
• around the base of the building to give the buildings a finished appearance.
Building Elevations
The building will have a flat roof along with exterior materials consisting
primarily of a wood product. The proposed plans indicate a siding material of
T1-11 (plywood) as the primary external finishing material. It is anticipated
that the building will be painted to match the existing senior high in order to
provide some type of compatibility with the existing structure.
Building and Fire Code Requirements
The school district has been meeting with the building official to go over
pertinent building and fire code requirements as well as handicapped
accessibility to the structure. All of these issues will need to be resolved
prior to issuance of a building permit.
Police Department
Attached to this report is a memo from the police department outlining two
concerns with the proposed facility. Please refer to the attached memo from
• the police department.
Recommendation
It is recommended the Planning Commission recommend approval of the
conditional use permit for Independent School District#728 to allow the
construction of the temporary classroom facilities with the following
conditions:
1. The exterior of the building be painted to match the senior high.
2. As part of the project, for each tree removed as a result of the
temporary structures being constructed, an equal number of trees be
provided on site.
3. As requested by Elk River Utilities, one electrical hookup be provided
to the building.
4. All the building code requirements be met and satisfied prior to
issuance of a building permit.
5. The site plan and proposed temporary structures plan be approved
• prior to issuance of a building permit.

Police Department Subject: Site Planning recommendations
This memo is in regard to my concerns on the temporary structure proposed for the Elk River Sr.
High. I foresee several problems with this site plan:
1). Lack of natural surveillance.
2). Access to site involves leaving the main school building.
In# 1 I am concerned with the 25' x 150' corridor put on the north side of the temporary
structure. This creates an assembling area with no surveillance from the parking lot, and very
little natural surveillance from any other area of the school.
In#2 I am concerned with the temptation for students to leave the premises once they are outside
the building..
Recommendations:
•
I recommend attaching the temporary structure to the existing building. This will still define
clear borders and not make the temporary structure an isolated area.
And I also recommend putting a chain link fence on the east and west ends of the north side.
Making the corridor unusable by students, creating the perception of safety for all users.
If you have any questions concerning these recommendations, please feel free to contact me at
my office anytime.
