Mr. Larsen informed the Commission the Edina School District has
applied for a Conditional Use Permit to construct an addition to Highlands
Elementary School. The addition would house three new classrooms, and would
be added to the southeast corner of the building. No other changes to the
building or site are contemplated. Total floor area in the addition would be 4,850
square feet.
Mr. Larsen explained the proposed addition complies with all Zoning
Ordinance requirements for an elementary school, including parking.
Elementary schools require 2 parking spaces for each classroom, or in this case
54 spaces. There are currently 83 spaces on-site. Exterior materials on the
addition would match the existing building.
