186 DRAFT 985 Jim Parker: I don't recall any timelines for the fields themselves.We are rezoning these properties.They will become 3 986 or 4 properties. It is one property now, it will become 3 or 4 parcels. One for each school, one for the ball fields,tennis 987 courts,we are ....access to these parcels and we are getting them rezoned which is step one in being able to develop 988 those parcels as you have seen on your conceptual layout.The supporters for HYAA and the tennis supporters, it will be 989 up to them to invest and make this happen.We are laying this out for them in order to further their dream. It will require 990 fundraising, it will require working,them getting their plan together to make this a reality. They can't raise money, make 991 investment,without a piece of land that everybody knows where they are going. I hope that answered your question. 992 993 Whitney Watson: It sort of does. Those fields could potentially lay fallow for as much as 10 years while the entities are 994 seeking to raise money. 995 996 Jim Parker:They could stay wooded for years, that is correct. 997 998 Patrick Byker: But the use can't change. 999 1000 Whitney Watson: So the school owned athletic fields, 2 soccer fields, they are multi use and could be for lacrosse or 1001 similar sports?Those would be built at the same pace with the school? 1002 1003 Jim Parker:Yes, that is the high school property. 1004 1005 Whitney Watson: So,the soccer fields,would those be lit for after dark use since they are not the public areas? 1006 1007 Jim Parker: Those are not intended to be lit.The only thing that could possibly be lit could be the tennis courts because 1008 typically there is a lot of tennis played in the evenings. Of course we would have to comply with the comprehensive plan, 1009 the UDO, and your guidelines for lighting, staying on site and there has to be sufficient lighting in the parking lot.All 1010 those things can be controlled with shielding and angles and not over lighting. 1011 1012 Whitney Watson:What about parking lots, I know that was mumbled in the background.The parking lots around the 1013 athletic facilities and the schools,would they have lighting at night? 1014 1015 Patrick Byker: It's a LIDO requirement. 1016 1017 Whitney Watson:And that would fall under the same requirements as control? 1018 1019 Patrick Byker:Yes sir. 1020 1021 Whitney Watson: I heard and saw some references to the historic asset on the corner of business 70 and Lawrence 1022 Road. But I was surprised to see in the packet that it is not listed as a historic asset that needed to be considered for 1023 development. Did I misread that letter? 1024 1025 Cy Stober:Yes Mr.Watson, it's on a property across Lawrence Road, so it's not on the property itself. It was considered 1026 as part of the traffic impact analysis, but it's not included in the site. 1027 1028 Statler Gilfillen: Is that something that comes under the purview of the historic review board? 1029 1030 Cy Stober: Yes it does. 1031 1032 Statler Gilfillen: Did Peter Sandbeck make any comments about it? 1033 1034 Cy Stober: He did, and felt that our landscaping requirements would offer buffering requirements... 1035 1036 Whitney Watson: So in the consideration of the staff analysis, one of the things we are asked to consider is whether the 1037 COCAs next residential neighborhood definition supports this use,so I'd like to hear some more about if that really is a 1038 walkablelbikeable from the surrounding residential areas to the sites particularly the athletic sites.And, does that mean 1039 there will be sidewalks put in place if there are not existing bike lanes as well?
