i <br /> Josh Nyquist, 14852 Peridot Street NW, and Executive Director of Building Operations at PACT <br /> asked that the Commission give them a chance to meet the requirements from the LRRWMO and <br /> related to traffic. He stated that they would meet the building requirements and recognized that <br /> MDE does not review to that level, but more as to whether the site would work for a school and <br /> whether it could be done financially. He stated that they want to be good neighbors and address <br /> concerns of those that live nearby, which is why they are these public meetings to gain that input. <br /> He stated that they can review field scheduling and the types of systems in order to mitigate noise <br /> and light. He stated that the school wants to be a good presence. He noted that the students often <br /> clean up the park nearby the existing location and would hope they could do those things at the <br /> new location as well. He commented that they currently have a shared parking agreement with <br /> Northgate Church that works well. He stated that there is traffic two times per day and school is <br /> in session 154 days per year,therefore that is important when thinking about the impact of traffic. <br /> Commissioner Peters commented that he does not believe that everyone is 100 percent against the <br /> school. He stated that if all the things were addressed,the school would be supported. He stated <br /> that a school going into a neighborhood adjacent to a park is a good fit. He commented that he <br /> also likes that there will be a secondary school coming to Ramsey. He believes that PACT should <br /> work with the residents and acknowledged that they are trying. He stated that he has been blessed <br /> to have the experience of living in different states and frequenting different schools for his kids. <br /> He stated that they will figure this out as a community. He believes that it makes sense to have a <br /> school in this location and if they all work together to figure it out,it should work. He encouraged <br /> PACT to work with these residents as they continue to come forward. He believed that this will <br /> be worked out but there needs to be more collaboration between the community and PACT. <br /> Community Development Dir/Deputy City Admin Brian Hagen stated that if the Commission <br /> desires to continue this review, it should not close the public hearing but instead should continue <br /> it to the next meeting. <br /> is <br /> Commissioner Anderson asked for details on the review timeline. <br /> Community Development Dir/Deputy City Admin Brian Hagen replied that they are still within <br /> k; <br /> the first 60-day review period and would have the ability to extend that by another 60 days. He <br /> stated that if the desire is to continue,it should be formally done through motion to a specific date. ; <br /> f <br /> Senior Planner Anderson commented that the City would need to issue a 60-day extension as the <br /> first 60-day period would expire before it reached the City Council. <br /> Acting Chairperson Gengler commented that there would then be an option to continue the public <br /> hearing which would then not require a table or any action on the applications. <br /> Senior Planner Anderson confirmed that to be true but asked that if that route is chosen, specific <br /> information is provided on what the Commission would desire before the next meeting. �= <br /> Community Development Dir/Deputy City Admin Brian Hagen stated that he would also want <br /> input from the applicant on their timeline to respond as well. <br /> f <br /> Planning Commission/May 26,2022 r <br /> Page 13 of 20 <br />
