Minutes Planning Commisiion 9/28/83 Page 3 She stated other people have to have lighting, signs and parking and felt the school district should also provide these same things. She felt they are obviously charging rent for the use of their site. Mr. Harris stated that actually very little of the site is being leased out. Mr. Harris further stated that these types of conditions can be placed on by the Planning Commission if they so desire. Chairman Jamieson spoke on the ground maintenance. He stated the City is very strong in requirements for other applicants and this site should be an outstanding example. Mr. Harris stated that this application is for a temporary use permit for five years and putting pole lights in could be a very expensive situation. Commissioner Getty felt that spot lights could be put on the buildings. The public hearing was opened. Mike Ananos, in charge of buildings and grounds for the School District addressed the Planning Commission. He stated they are leasing buildings out to help keep them from deteriorating. He indicated that the leases are geared so that on June 30 of any given year the tenants can be asked to leave. Concerning signs they would only want to have a minimal signing program to indicate locations. He stated lights are turned out for energy saving and for night usage they can be turned on. He stated that any group using the buildings can request the lights be put on. Mr. Ananos stated vandalism has been reduced dramatically since the lights have been turned out at the school. Commissioner Lindsey inquired about the overall maintenance of the school district. Mr. Ananos stated that all of the buildings were painted within the last two years and there are no plans to change the color. He stated there is one grounds man for all seven schools. He indicated that mowing gets done but that is about it, along with some sprinkler repair. Citizen groups have worked on the shrubs, etc. He stated he can present the views and opinions of the Planning Commission to the School Board and Administration and get back to the Planning Commission with an answer. Commissioner Arrigoni asked if citizen groups have worked on the sprinklers at various schools. Mr. Ananos said they have and the district has no objections to this as long as parts used, etc. meet with the School District approval. Commissioner Lindsey then asked if it would be appropriate to continue this matter until such time as the School District has had an opportunity to review the concerns of the Planning Commission. Mr. Ananos stated that there are at least 32 parking spaces in the front and they will be designing another 15 just inside the fence area for special services. He further stated that the School District vehicles will be parked inside the slat fence. The public hearing was closed. -3- __...._~ _,..~.. __ _ ..,. _ .. _..»..__ _ .. __ _ .. .. _ . _..T.. _ .
