Adam Beeman: I understand but in combination with the other fields, as the HYAA representative said, they start at 6, 1428 <br />those folks are going to start rolling in for baseball, it sounds like tennis is going to be happening all day long, I am just 1429 <br />trying to figure out the extra folks after school once school has been let out. 1430 <br /> 1431 <br />Lyle Overstreet: The trip calculations for the school are based on state wide averages of other, similar schools so it is 1432 <br />baked into the numbers. 1433 <br /> 1434 <br />Adam Beeman: Okay, I had not heard anything about athletic programs for the school, and I was just curious to know if 1435 <br />they were having athletic programs. 1436 <br /> 1437 <br />Beth Bronson: Would those parking lots for the upper and lower schools be open to the public after 5? Or would they 1438 <br />remain a private parking lot given that they are on a separate parcel. 1439 <br /> 1440 <br />Jim Parker: They are going to co-exist together, I’m sure that if the capacity of the parking for the fields is not enough 1441 <br />that sharing parking is a great option but that would be up to the school if they chose to do that. If we can get this 1442 <br />rezoned, then those conversations could happen with those potential owners. 1443 <br /> 1444 <br />Beth Bronson- My point being that there are 192 spaces by the baseball fields and I didn’t see what the count was for by 1445 <br />the tennis court, I assume it’s similar…. 1446 <br /> 1447 <br />Jim Parker: A condition that we could set and take with us is that there would be consideration for shared parking…. 1448 <br /> 1449 <br />Adam Beeman: I had a question about the articulation agreement… 1450 <br /> 1451 <br />Melissa Poole: I know what this is…there are currently two charter schools in Hillsborough. There is the Expedition 1452 <br />school and there is Eno River Academy. My children went to TEF and once they reached the 8th grade, there is an 1453 <br />articulation agreement for the high school. You can have articulation agreements for charter schools. 1454 <br /> 1455 <br />Overlapping conversations about seats available for transfer at various schools and articulation agreements. 1456 <br /> 1457 <br />A letter from Joey Webb was read by a representative from the charter school. 1458 <br /> 1459 <br />Statler Gilfillen: What are we actually approving tonight? This is about a piece of property with a school on it. It could be 1460 <br />any kind of school on this site. If it is a private school then the developer has rights about who is allowed to go into that 1461 <br />school, right? 1462 <br /> 1463 <br />Patrick Byker: If for some reason this became a site for Durham Academy, then that private school admission process by 1464 <br />law prohibits discrimination. 1465 <br /> 1466 <br />Statler Gilfillen: If this were a private school, unlike a charter school then all of the neighbors and immediate property 1467 <br />owners around this property, that school could offer special compensation to them if they had children who wanted to 1468 <br />come there and could walk there. That could be hypothetically possible, right? 1469 <br /> 1470 <br />Patrick Byker: The down side is they would have to pay. 1471 <br /> 1472 <br />Statler Gilfillen: Yes but they could also offer a discount to the immediate property owners. 1473 <br /> 1474 <br />Overlapping conversations 1475 <br /> 1476 <br />Chris Johnston: We can’t consider that it is a charter school, we can’t consider that it is a public school, all we can 1477 <br />consider is that it is a school, but does that matter for capacity? If the argument is that we are serving capacity for the 1478 <br />local school system and this is a school that potentially pulls from outside the county, is that anything that we can 1479 <br />consider or is that considering a charter school? 1480 <br /> 1481 <br />Patrick Byker: My understanding is no. 1482 <br />31
