ROGERS PLANNING COMMISSION
Agenda Item: No. 8.A
Subject:
Site Plan Review – Rogers High School Addition
Prepared By:
Sheila Cartney, City Planner/Community Development Coordinator
Overview Background
The high school is proposing to add a third wing to the north side of the building. The addition
is two levels and mirrors the existing wings on the north side.
Primary Issues to Consider
• Site Plan
Supporting Documentation
• Site Plan
• WSB memo dated Jan. 13, 2015
Analysis of Primary Issues
The high school is zoned R2 single family residential. The third wing addition is 53,000 square
feet increasing the overall building area to 309,200 square feet. All R2 setbacks are met with
the proposed addition. With the proposed third wing addition 606 stalls are required, 531 stalls
are present. New parking will be added in the fall of 2016 with the addition of the auditorium
addition. It is anticipated that 185 stalls will be added at that time for a total of 729 stalls total
which will exceed the parking requirement for the site. The building materials are consistent
with what is currently onsite.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of the site plan.
Motion: Move to approve the site plan for a third wing addition at the high school subject to the
following conditions:
1. All conditions/concerns of the City Engineers memo dated January 13, 2015 shall be
met.

Re:
High School Addition Site Plan
WSB Project No. 2169-650
We have completed a review of the preliminary site plan documents for the above referenced site
prepared by CEI Engineering Associates, lnc_, signed December 9, 2014. The site involves the
addition of a building adjacent to the existing high school. This letter is not intended to be our
final comments on the submittal, but identifies concerns that will need to be addressed either as
part of this submittal or with the final site/design plans as noted.
Site Plan
• General cleanup of the plan sheets will be required for the final submittal. Check all north
arrows are correct, and all labels for existing and proposed work are correct. There seem
to be some discrepancies with what is labeled on the plan sheets.
• A better site plan will need to be included in the final submittal as well; the one provided
is too light to distinguish what is going on. Please provide some distinction between
proposed and existing.
• Utilities must be constructed according to current City detail plates.
Stormwater
• With the addition of the auditorium, stormwater will need to be re-routed to the north
stormwater pond as was permitted in the past with Elm Creek Watershed District. Please
provide the stormwater calc's that were submitted in the past to the watershed to verify
the additions are consistent with what was previously permitted.
• Can a casting adjustment be made to the existing catch basin in the green space to
eliminate such a large grade change? It appears the top of casting can be raised and still
accommodate adequate slopes to drain the area.
Grading/Erosion Control
• A grading permit must be obtained from the City of Rogers.
• An NPDES Construction Stormwater Permit must be obtained.
