I I III Council Meeting Minutes May 26, 1987 Mattila reviewed site plan, slides of existing over-flow parking problems and potential off-street parking sites, and briefly re- viewed staff report concerning an application for a special use permit, non-conforming use permit, and site plan review to construct a 9,500 square foot addition onto Irondale High School; and noted the Planning Commission recommended denial of SP-138, NC-79, and LP-206 due to inadequate off-street parking facilities on the subject site and the lack of a specific proposal for addi- tional off-street parking. In accordance with Benke's request, Mattila reviewed and explained the recommendation with conditions, stating enforcement would be through the building permit process (could revoke special use per- mit or stop construction activity until an off-street parking pro- posal was submitted). Benke noted the resolution for SP-138 does not provide a time- frame for which the parking space would be provided; Mattila indi- cated that should be included in the condition. Mattila'explained the 70-stall condition was selected from a vis- ual inspection of the site {current 60 cars using off-street park- ing and ten cars currently parking in the aisles and in the medi- ans; and noted the City Attorney suggested a specific number which could then be varied. Benke believes it is undesirable to pave over green space and stated the logical alternative would be to leasing 50 spaces from the Sunnyside Chapel and decreasing the condition to 50 spaces. Mattila indicated the Mounds View High School was able to elimin- ate on-street parking without providing additional off-street parking; but would like to see a complete package for lrondale High School where there would be 70 stalls provided on the site or a combination of 50 stalls at Sunnyside Chapel and perhaps 20 stalls on the lrondale site to minimize the blacktop area at Iron- dale; and believes 70 parking spaces plus additional off-street parking with signage would be a major step in resolving the issue. Benke asked if the 70 stall number assuming there would be two- hour signage on Poppyseed; Mattila stated, regardless of how many stalls are provided, there should be signage on the streets.
