Background
Spring Lake Park Schools (Ind. #16) has reached an agreement with the National Sports Center to purchase an 11 acre site at the SE corner of 105th and Davenport. Once purchased the school intends to build and operate a Pre-K thru 4th grade elementary school. The school itself would be a 2-story design with approximately 96,000 square feet.
A preliminary plat application was approved by the City Council on April 6, 2017, to subdivide the NSC’s 93 acre south campus into two lots and one outlot. Lot 1(11 acres) would be the site of the school. Lot 2 would remain the NSC property. Outlot A (the site of the velodrome) is under an option for the school to purchase at some point in the future. The velodrome use is intended to continue for 2-3 more years.
The final plat is consistent with the approved preliminary plat, Resolution No. 17-043 as amended and approved by the City Council on April 6, 2017.
