Item 5.3 A Item #5.3. ity of AkRiver MEMORANDUM TO: Planning Commission FROM: Scott Harlicker, Senior Plan DATE: August 22, 2000 SUBJECT: Case No. CU 00-31 Request by Independent School District for Conditional Use Permit for Interim Use; Public Hearing Request The School District is requesting an interim use permit to continue the use of a temporary parking lot connected to the west of the existing paved parking lot between the Senior High and Vandenberg. This parking area was constructed in ID the middle of the 1999-2000 school year. Attachments • Location map • Map of parking lot • Staff report to City Council dated 12/13/99 Overview On December 13, 1999 the City Council approved a request by the School District to use the athletic field between the Senior High and Vandenberg as a temporary parking lot for the remainder of the 1999-2000 school year. The School District wanted to use this area to replace parking lost when they closed the parking lot at the Oak Knoll baseball fields. The School District is again requesting to use the same field as temporary parking. They would like to use this area as parking from August 15, 2000 to June 15, 2002. As they did last year, no improvements are proposed for the area, including Class V. The area will be about 345 feet long by 135 feet wide and delineated with stakes and ropes. Staff suggests that because this will be used for parking for 2 years, a more durable surface such as class five be installed. • Access to the lot would be through the existing entrance from School Street. 13065 Orono Parkway • P.O.

This would be in effect from August 15, 2000 to June 15, 2002. The purpose of this proposal is to continue to allow the closing of the Oak Knoll baseball parking lot for safety reasons. The school district is concerned about the safety of students crossing County Road #1 . Upon passage of the bond issue, Phase II of the parking lot will be completed creating additional permanent parking west of the present lot. Thank you for your consideration in this matter.

Attachments • Location Map II/ • Letter from Ron Bratlie, Director of Support Services, ISD #728 • Map of Parking Lot, New Parking Area Analysis In order to prevent students from crossing Proctor Road, the School District has decided to close the parking lot adjacent to the Oak Knoll baseball fields/park. Students are currently crossing Proctor Road in the middle of the street and not using the approved crosswalk. To provide additional parking, the School District would like to allow parking in a designated area on the athletic field between the High School and Vandenberg. The area would be marked by stakes and strings and would provide four rows of additional parking. Access would be gained through the "welcome center" off of School Street. At ' this time, the School District is proposing no improvements to this area, including no class V. This area is proposed to be Phase H of the parking lot expansion. While the zoning ordinance does not address "temporary" or "interim" uses at this time, approval of this request is appropriate for public safety reasons. The School District is requesting use of this area until June 15, 2000, at which time the area should be restored, the parking lot expanded (if the referendum passes), or an Interim Use Permit IIIbe approved. 11065 Oiono Parkway • P.O.
