UNFINISHED BUSINESS Waldorf School Building Design - 70 County Road B East Secretary Tom Ekstrand presented the staff report. Paul May, architect, gave a thorough description of the site layout, building placement, and building design, materials and colors. Sian Owen-Cruise, from the Waldorf School, explained the school's philosophy and education. Boardmember Jorgenson asked if Mr. May had any idea how far out the gymnasium is from being realized. Mr. May said about five to ten years. Boardmember Shankar asked if the tallest structure was the assembly space. Mr. May said they were taking off the center portion of the roof and raising it up. Boardmember Shankar asked why the windows were not all lined up on the modular unit. Mr. May said that the depiction on the plan was not entirely accurate and that the windows on the modular units to the south would be similar to the ones on the other side. Community Design Review Board Minutes of 12-21-99 Boardmember Shankar asked if the paint used on the modular units was done on site or if they came already painted. Mr. May said they can be ordered already painted from the factory or they can be painted on site. This would be for the school to decide based on which option would be most cost effective, etc. The board asked if they are anticipating 2000 construction on this project. Mr. May said they were planning on construction starting in the summer and being completed by the end of the year so that, hopefully, school could start in January 2001 for the second semester. Boardmember Ledvina said that in the lefthand corner of the drawings he had it shows a play circle and that the new drawings show what appears to be a delivery area in that same location. Mr. May said that the area was large enough to turn a vehicle around in if need be but the intention was to use this area for play equipment and a basketball hoop, etc. The surface would be asphalt. Boardmember Shankar moved that the community design review board approve the building elevations date-stamped November 30, 1999 for the proposed Minnesota Waldorf School at 70 County Road B East. Approval is subject to city council conditions of August 23, 1999 and the applicant will resubmit elevations for the gymnasium when those are available. Along with the gymnasium, the design plans will also be submitted to the design review board for review at that time. Plans dated November 24, 1999 are referenced along with the elevations that were submitted to the design review board for approval. Boardmember Johnson seconded. The motion passed. Ayes--all VI.
