UTILITIES This property has the necessary fire protection and other utilities in place for our use. Many of our buses are plugged in at night so they start on cold mornings. They are standard 110-volt power lines and should not require special feeds. LIGHTING There is adequate in-place lighting in and around the building as this building is relatively new. Should we need to replace or add any lights,we will bring those lights up to code in regards to dark sky fixture requirements and any other city requirements and best practices. TRAFFIC IMPACTS Our main operations are on school days (167 days) of the year from about 6am- 6pm. During that time,there will be employees entering 1st Street SW,turning down 5th Street SW and entering the employee entrance. Employees generally come and go in stages. Buses leave and return in stages. While schools start at the same time, some routes are longer than others. Additionally, different buildings have different bell times within the district. Buses will enter the westerly gate on the north side and exit the easterly gate on the north side of the property. There are truck terminals along 1st Street SW up to Old Highway 8. Our buses will then travel arterial roads to their specific section of the Mounds View School District and then begin their route. PARKING Our employees will park on the lot within the fence on the western side of the property as described above. Our buses will park in the main building,in the shop, and along the North and East side of the property. All vehicles will be parked on blacktop. We will stripe the lot so that it is organized and functional. The Mounds View contract calls for 54 Big Buses, 31 Type-A or smaller special ed buses, and spares. All buses parked on the property will be DOT inspected and good rolling stock. The only disabled buses that would be on the property would be ones that may be waiting for a repair on a short-term basis.
