The applicant is seeking a CUP to construct a 300 sq. ft. secure entry to the early childhood setting at the Handke Center. To construct the addition, the property needs to be granted a variance.

Interior renovations will include remodeling of classrooms, specialist settings, long-term facilities maintenance improvements (replacement of finishes, casework, doors/hardware, ceilings), and major mechanical and electrical system improvements. Mechanical system currently includes rooftop units and ductwork, which will be replaced with interior air handling units. Most single and multi-user toilet rooms that do not meet accessibility requirements are scheduled for remodeling. The small addition (approx. 300sf) is required to provide a secure point of entry to the early childhood setting at the Handke Center, and will also include a single user toilet room. Additionally, an egress -only ramp is being proposed for a second point of egress that does not discharge young student directly toward Main Street. Variance Information: 1) The variance is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the ordinance. Confirmed. 2) The variance is consistent with the City of Elk River Comprehensive Plan (discuss with city staff if needed). Confirmed. 3) The petitioner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted by the zoning ordinance The proposed use of the property will not be changed as a part of the project. The area of the building (the 1951 addition) at which the proposed addition would occur, will be changing from a shipping, receiving, and storing area, to an early childhood space for which the Owner would like secure access to be provided, similar to a secure entry vestibule to a school facility. Additionally, there is an existing exterior door that egresses directly onto the sidewalk on the north side of Main Street, which we are proposing to remove and infill. In place of this egress point, a new exterior door is proposed for the east side of the 1951 addition to extend the exterior point of egress slightly away from the sidewalk so as to prevent young students (3-5 year olds) from exiting directly toward Main Street. This new exterior door would be egress only and not used for access. 4) The plight of the petitioner is due to circumstances unique to the property not a consequence of the petitioner's own action or inaction; and As noted above, the addition that is being proposed as part of this project will abut an existing addition that was construction in 1951. The addition itself is necessary to provide a secure sequence of entry outside of the existing building footprint, which would otherwise be too small to serve the desired function of an early childhood setting. Also as part of the addition, a toilet room is proposed for use by the young students. Including the toilet room as part of the addition works well with existing utilities and proposed improvements to the utilities, as well as not restricting the use of the general programmed space. 5) The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality.
