Primary Issues to Consider.
o What is the zoning of the property, and how has the Comprehensive Plan
designated the subject site?
The property is zoned R -1 -D, Single Family Low Density. A school is permitted in
residential districts with a conditional use permit. The Comprehensive Plan has designated the
property school and public.
o What are the specifics of the development?
Landscaping
17 additional plantings will be added to the site. The ordinance requires five additional trees
to be added. The proposed addition will be creating a courtyard for the school because the
media addition will be closing up the northwest side of the building.
City Engineer
The Engineering department has reviewed the drainage plan and has found it acceptable.
Fire Marshal
The Fire Marshal has reviewed the preliminary plans and noted that a more detailed plan will
have to be submitted that shows the access roads and hydrant locations. However, he sees no
issues regarding the access roads and hydrants.
Parking
CR96 -42
Page 2
The media center is for the students attending the elementary school; the proposed media
center will not generate a need for additional parking.
Trash
The trash pick - up will not be affected by the addition.
Sidewalk
The sidewalk will not be affected by the addition.
Access
The access to the existing building will remain the same.
•
Exterior
The exterior will be a face brick to match the existing exterior.
Setbacks
The zoning ordinance requires a 50 -foot setback from any lot line. The addition is not near
any lot line.
Surrounding uses
The addition will have open space to the west, Oak Ridge Golf course to the north, and the
existing school building to the east and south.
o What occurred at the Zoning and Planning meeting?
Staff reviewed the proposal with the Commission. Tim Dufault, representing the School
District, appeared before the Commission. Mr. Dufault answered various questions regarding
the proposed addition. Mr. Dufault stated that they hope to start in April, and the entire
building will be sprinkled after the remodeling. There was no one in the audience to speak on
this issue at the public hearing.
