This waiver of plat is in conjunction with the conditional use permit
to construct a new school building at 125 Monroe Avenue. Last year
the City purchased the east half of the Marley Hopkins school property
to construct a retention pond. This retention pond was constructed to
eliminate flooding in the area. When the property was purchased from
the school district a waiver of the plat was granted to divide the
property. On July 10, 1990 the City Council approved the sale of land
at Harley Hopkins to the School District.
Now the School District wants to demolish the existing school and
construct a new school which will be more efficient and serve the
Districts needs better. The ordinance requires a 50 fact setback in
all yards for schools. Without the waiver of plat the east lot line
will not have the required 50 foot setback.
Staff is recommencing approval because the new building will :meet the
ordinance requirements.
