DRAFT <br />204 Eddie Kirk: Yes. <br />205 <br />206 Renee Price - Saunders: Where will the students be coming from, and what will be their .:ges? <br />207 <br />208 George McFarley: The students who would attend the school come from all over the County, not from <br />209 one particular area. They will be middle and high school age. <br />210 <br />211 Renee Price - Saunders: What would be the criteria? <br />212 <br />213 George McFarley: We are required by law to have an alternative setting for students (the traditional <br />214 classroom may not be ideally suited) such as suspended students. <br />215 <br />216 Renee Price- Saunders: Regarding the traffic impact, in the future, with Walmart and Home Depot traffic <br />217 getting worse, you may want to consider the increased traffic. Also, on the last page of the resolution, the <br />218 date needs to be corrected from 2004. <br />219 <br />220 Ted Triebel: I'd like to make a point of order. Did the BOCC designate tonight as the date for us to make <br />221 a recommendation? <br />222 <br />223 Eddie Kirk: My understanding is that the item will be going to Public Hearing on February 27. <br />224 <br />225 Ted Triebel: Were we directed to make the recommendation tonight? My understanding from the Zoning <br />226 Ordinance, Section 8.4,6, the Planning Board should have direction from the BOCC, or have three <br />227 meetings to decide. I don't see that we have been asked for direction from the BOCC. <br />228 <br />229 Robert Davis: That portion of the Zoning Ordinance pertains to procedures regarding rezoning issues, <br />230 generally. In those cases, it goes to Public Hearing first, then back to the Planning Board for <br />231 recommendation, so there is time for consideration. With this situation, the Public Hearing is already set, <br />232 and will be the first opportunity for the BOCC to hear the issue, so they haven't had an opportunity to <br />233 direct the Planning Board, <br />234 <br />2:35 Craig Benedict: On February 9, the BOCC will add this to the Public Hearing agenda, therefore, in order <br />236 for your recommendation to occur, it would have to occur before the legal ad is approved. So, indirectly, <br />237 they have added this to the Public Hearing agenda, prompting action from the Planning Board now. <br />2:38 <br />239 Ted Triebel: With regard to condition #1 — sewer' and water line extensions. On page 2, it states that no <br />240 extensions are needed., <br />241 <br />242 Eddie Kirk: The water and sewer lines are in place, but the service lines need to be pulled over to the <br />243 actual site. <br />244 <br />245 Ted Triebel: Regarding the number of parking places, there are no student parking places shown. Will <br />246 the students use the Stanback parking spaces? <br />247 <br />248 George McFarley: No, all students attending the alternative school will be transported by bus. <br />249 <br />250 Renee Price- Saunders: Then, why do you need 19 spaces? <br />251 <br />252 Ted Triebel: Additional spaces are probably needed for visitors and staff. Also, on page 11, the <br />253 estimated water usage appears to be for Phase 1, and does not include the expansion. If additional <br />254 students are added, more water will be used.. <br />53 <br />
