Board of Adjustment
Sept 13, 2004 School Clears Another Hurdle |
Construction at the middle
school and high school moved one step closer to actually starting when the
City Board of Adjustment approved special exceptions and variances Monday
Sept. 13th.
The "exception" permits the middle school construction / expansion
on property zoned residential single-family. There has been a school on this
property since at least 1909 when the first Collinsville High School was built.
The "variances" are for parking on easements and building set backs
less than normal residential. The middle school expansion will add a new cafeteria
/ commons, 9 classrooms, offices and a media center on the north portion of
the block bounded by Spring, 14th, Center, and 15th. There will be a bus loading
zone on the south side of Center, a parent drop off zone on 14th, and new
off street parking in front of the gym on Center.
The addition of six new class rooms at the high school on 10 new acres recently purchased west of the existing high school required an exception to allow construction / expansion on property zoned AG Agriculture District. A fire lane will be constructed from the current school parking to the new building for fire department access but no additional parking is planned.
