Jim Parker: I’ve done a lot of subdivisions with septics and this has got extremely good soil for our town, like you are 1373 <br />saying, the primary goal here is water/sewer from the Town of Hillsborough. That is our primary desire. We know we 1374 <br />could do this with an innovative system like we have other schools… 1375 <br /> 1376 <br />Adam Beeman: What’s the plan for irrigation? You’re going to have fields and plantings… 1377 <br /> 1378 <br />Jim Parker: Drip irrigation on the fields and in the plantings. 1379 <br /> 1380 <br />Adam Beeman: You are just not watering the baseball fields? 1381 <br /> 1382 <br />Jim Parker: correct. Ms. Kirk made some comments about environmental considerations. There are some stormwater 1383 <br />ponds there that are good sources of irrigation water and good sources for fire protection if we go down the septic route. 1384 <br /> 1385 <br />Adam Beeman: Why the 60-foot-tall building for the athletic building? 1386 <br /> 1387 <br />Jim Parker: You’ve got to have height for the tennis. 1388 <br /> 1389 <br />Adam Beeman: A lot of the industrial buildings top off at 45, I’m just curious. 1390 <br /> 1391 <br />Jim Parker: If the 60 foot is a concern, we can discuss that. 1392 <br /> 1393 <br />Adam Beeman: I am looking at your handicap parking. I don’t know what the minimum standards are but your drawing 1394 <br />shows 6 spots and one hash mark and the rest of them are all stacked up next to each other. Being a disabled person, I 1395 <br />find that wholly inadequate. I would like to see hash marks between them or you could do two spaces and hash marks 1396 <br />on either side. 1397 <br /> 1398 <br />Jim Parker: You are exactly right but understand that these are all the standards that are in the UDO. 1399 <br /> 1400 <br />Adam Beeman: If you are meeting the minimum we can see if we can agree on the additions of hash lines…that to me, 1401 <br />being disabled it is difficult to get out of a normal sized space. It didn’t seem like they were very user friendly for the 1402 <br />disabled folks. Can we agree that you will put hash marks? 1403 <br /> 1404 <br />Jim Parker: We can agree to that, yes. 1405 <br /> 1406 <br />Statler Gilfillen: As an architect with a background in preservation, these plans are very schematic and preliminary. When 1407 <br />you get down to submitting the final architectural plans, there are very detailed sets of laws that you have to follow or you 1408 <br />can’t get a building permit. 1409 <br /> 1410 <br />Adam Beeman: If that’s the minimum and they’ve met the minimum and we’ve approved it then what’s to say they have 1411 <br />to put hash marks later? 1412 <br /> 1413 <br />Statler Gilfillen: It might be on the state law… 1414 <br /> 1415 <br />Adam Beeman: I don’t know the state law, I am simply ensuring that we are on the same page and both agree that we 1416 <br />need hash marks regardless of…. There is no athletic programs at the school, so there is no after school programs 1417 <br />where they are playing soccer or …they just go to classes themselves? 1418 <br /> 1419 <br />Jim Parker: I don’t think we can speak to the exact programming, but I would say they would have some after school 1420 <br />programming. 1421 <br /> 1422 <br />Adam Beeman: We have calculated that the school is done at let out time but if they are still filtering in after school time 1423 <br />for athletic programs that needs to be added into the drip calculation… 1424 <br /> 1425 <br />Jim Parker: Yes, you are right, there are after school programs but it’s not the full peak. 1426 <br /> 1427 <br />30
