Planning Commission
The Planning Commission voted unanimously to approve the conditional use permit amendment. There were comments at the public hearing regarding increased traffic from the site, high school students speeding on 103rd Lane, and the need for a sidewalk on 103rd Lane (103rd sidewalk is part of Lever Street area plans for this summer).
Background
Centennial School has a large campus containing an elementary school, middle school and high school (in two buildings) as well as athletic fields, ice arena and performing art center. They are proposing several changes to their site plan to add or modify the following elements:
• Addition and renovation to the existing ice arena. This would include a new entrance on the north side of the building and other interior renovations including rink size and required coolant changeover.
• A new grounds building and salt storage building. A new 9,248 square foot building would be constructed for storing equipment and vehicles.
• An addition to link the west and east high schools will be constructed. This would include the new enclosed walkway linkage and additional classrooms.
• The parking/bus drop off on the south side of the site will be re-configured to accommodate the new high school link addition.
• Additional 37 parking stalls will be added in the existing parking lot off of 103rd Lane.
The work on site is planned to take place over the next two years.
