V. 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.
