Knight <br /> Chapel Hill Appraisals & Consultants <br /> PO Box 33037 <br /> Raleigh,NC 27636 <br /> (919) 308-7000 <br /> April 19, 2015 <br /> Mr. Steve Bennett—Director of Administration <br /> Emerson Waldorf School <br /> 6211 new Jericho Road <br /> Chapel Hill,NC 27516 <br /> Subject: Impact Analysis of the Proposed Emerson Waldorf Expansion, <br /> Class A Special Use Permit - located at 6211 New Jericho Road <br /> Chapel Hill,NC 27516 <br /> Orange County,NC <br /> Dear Mr. Bennett <br /> In response to your request, and as outlined separately in our Engagement Letter, I have <br /> investigated and summarized the potential impact of the proposed expansion of the <br /> Emerson Waldorf School Class A Special Use Permit on the site (as if 100% complete) �I <br /> on the immediate surrounding neighborhood area. <br /> The property is located at 6211 New Jericho Road north of the intersection of Millhouse <br /> Road (SR 1725) & New Jericho Road (SR 1899), in central Orange County adjacent to <br /> and just west of I-40 & the NC Rail line. The site is considered a single site, comprised <br /> of five parcels totaling 55.27 acres, according to the application and supporting <br /> documents filed with the Orange County Planning Department. The properties are <br /> currently zoned Rural Buffer (RB) and de-facto Special Use Permit (RB). Millhouse <br /> Road is considered a neighborhood collector and New Jericho Road supports the School <br /> and a small group of large lot residences just north of the subject site. <br /> The proposed expansion of Emerson Waldorf School seeks to increase student capacity <br /> for education purposes from a current student population of+/-258 to not more than 350 <br /> students by 2030, all of which would be accomplished within the boundaries of the <br /> existing 55.27 acre site per the Special Use Permit Narrative (hereby attached by <br /> reference) thru an updated campus masterplan(see SUP Masterplan addendum attached). <br /> This SUP would be controlled by a comprehensive masterplan, under agreed <br /> development standards, utilities, parking, and open space program, according to the <br /> Special Use Permit Narrative &Masterplan submitted to Orange County Planning. <br />
