Staff outlines two options to add about 100 parking spaces at new elementary school, suggests coupling paving work
Summary
Facilities staff presented two parking plans that would add about 100 spaces at the new elementary school (front- or back-of-school options), said both pond systems have capacity for the additional impervious area and suggested bundling the work with a planned connector-road paving project to reduce cost.
District facilities staff told the board they have identified two options for adding roughly 100 parking spaces at the new elementary school: one at the front of the building and another at the back. Staff said both drainage ponds can accommodate the additional impervious surface and that the back option would minimize walking distance for staff and visitors.
"My preferred option would be the one for the back of the school," the facilities presenter said, adding that exact pricing awaits as-built surveys to determine earthwork and drainage needs. The presenter noted one option is to couple the parking work with a planned connector-road paving project this summer to reduce mobilization costs and potentially improve contractor pricing.
Board members asked whether future expansion would require moving the parking; staff said the parking placement had been routed to avoid footprints intended for future building wings. The presentation concluded with staff promising to return with survey results and firm pricing.
