Park & Recreation Commission Site Plan Review - Chanhassen
High School Campus
On Tuesday, February 27, the Park and Recreation Commission reviewed the
site plan for the new Chanhassen High School. Representatives attending from
School District 112 included Steve Pumper, Director of Operations and Finance;
Paul Schuleter, Director of Buildings and Grounds; ~~ Jay Pomeroy and
Jonathan Duesman both of Anderson-Johnson Associates. Mr. Duesman gave a
presentation to the Commission explaining the planp;i~g.:,;efforts that focused on
the exterior of the building. The remaining represent~~:y~ also provided input
into the cony.ersation and answered questions froIl:t:~l.le'c~~ssion. The

north parking lot to the tennis courts and railroad trail underpass. At present, a
pedestrian route around the northeast comer of the buildings is not shown. A
stairway adjacent to the north wall of the gymnasiums should be added to
correct this deficiency. This would create an access from the north parking lot
to the tennis court area. In addition, it is unclear if pedestrians moving between
the north parking lot and the railroad trail underpass will have unobstructed
access due to perimeter fencing and associated gates around the stadium area.
A THLETIC FIELD CAPACITY
The site plan includes a variety of athletic fields and other sports-related
amenities. However, the athletic fields provided on the property will likely not
accommodate all the needs that will be generated by school sporting events. The
School District will look to other district facilities and community-based
facilities to fill the gap between demand and supply. At present, the City has
very limited excess capacity at our athletic field facilities. Under a scenario in
which the city would move to accommodate school district sporting events,
existing community user groups would be displaced. This is not a desirable
scenario from all perspectives.
RECOMMENDA TIONS
An additional 48 parking stalls have been identified as an alternate finishing
plan for the south parking lot. It is recommended that these stalls be included in
the base bid package. As a potential measure to dramatically increase on-site
athletic field capacity, an add/alternate bid item to install artificial turf in lieu of
grass on the stadium field and two soccer fields has been proposed. Again, it is
recommended that these alternates be included in the base bid package. In
regard to trails and pedestrian flow, it is recommended that the described
stairway be added on the north exterior wall of the gymnasium and sufficient
accommodations be made for uninterrupted pedestrian access from the north
parking lot to the railroad trail underpass.
