Citizen Plan #3 for Twin Creeks Park/School Campus a/1 FFeature Analysis Shared use of parking Co-location of schools and parks is intended, among other benefits, to allow shared use of parking lots for over-flow panting during special events, reducing the amount of impervious surface and the cost of paving. This benefit remains unchanged. Conformance to All of the guiding principles, except the arbitrary requirement that the CHATPEC "Guiding ' school sites be north of the creek, continue to be met to the same extent Principles" document that they are met by the county plans. This includes but is not limited to the goals of. preservation of stream corridors, open space, active and passive recreation components, preservation of historic farmstead and pre-historic sites, sensitivity to neighboring homes, seamless integration j of school and park usage, community gym at the ES. Historical note: the county guidance to the CHATPEC committee restricting the school sites to the north side of the creek appears to have been based on the fact that the CHCCS School Board had been attempting to purchase the former Hunter tract adjacent to Eubanks Rd, before the county purchased the combined Hunter and Cates tracts. No justification for continuing this restriction was ever presented to the CHATPEC committee.
