MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor anj Hopkin City Council Members
FROM: Kersten Elverum, Dir /rfPlanning & Development
DATE: May 8, 2009
SUBJECT: Blake School Discussion
A discussion has been scheduled for the May 12, 2009, work session to discuss with
Blake School representatives their recently- adopted master plan. As you know from
previous discussion, Blake School has acquired four properties along Harrison Avenue
with the desire to expand the campus. They are also attempting to acquire four additional
properties including the two lots the City recently sold to Habitat for Humanity.
Blake School would need significant changes to the zoning ordinance, a re- zoning of the
property, the vacation of a public alley, and the removal of covenants on the Habitat for
Humanity lots to allow for the implementation of their master plan.
