CLASSROOMS
The classrooms were purchased from the Mora School District, which also
used these classrooms on a temporary basis. Building Official Cliff Skogstad
has met with the School District's architect and is confident that these
classrooms can meet building code. Each classroom will be placed on a
permanent foundation and will have direct access to the existing school.
BUILDING ELEVATIONS
The proposed classrooms will be constructed of wood and painted to be
compatible with the existing brick school. Staff is concerned that these types
of buildings occasionally evolve into a permanent situation. Therefore, if this
proposal is approved, staff recommends a three year time frame be
established. If the classrooms are still being used after three years, the
School District will be required to update the exterior to brick to match the
exterior of the existing school.
EMERGENCY ACCESS
e
Along the north end of the school there is a ten (10) foot wide sidewalk that
presently is used as an emergency access. The site plan does not clearly
illustrate the proximity of the sidewalk to the proposed classrooms. If the
classrooms cross the sidewalk, another emergency access must be provided
north of the classroom. Staff will require that the emergency access be hard
surfaced, properly sized, and maintained throughout the year.
PARKING
The existing parking lot appears to be adequate for the Junior High's needs.
The addition of two classrooms should not trigger the need for additional
parking. If parking does become a problem, the School District has ample
room for the parking lot to be expanded.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the conditional use permit request for the
addition of two (2) 24' x 36' temporary classrooms to Vandenberg Junior High
School with the following conditions:
1.
EACH CLASSROOM WILL BE REQUIRED TO MEET STATE
AND LOCAL BUILDING CODE PRIOR TO THE
