123 <br /> 3.1.6 PEDESTRIAN CIRCULATION AND ACCESS TO PUBLIC WAYS — A pedestrian circulation system is <br /> proposed which is direct, efficient, and pleasant. All buildings and parking areas on the campus are <br /> connected by sidewalk system. Pedestrian sidewalks will be hard surfaces and ADA compliant where <br /> required. Pedestrian sidewalks are largely separated from vehicular traffic by wooded or landscaped <br /> areas. Landscaping is integrated into the pedestrian system to provide shade (trees) and aesthetic beauty, <br /> and to reinforce separation from motorized vehicles. Crosswalks are strategically located to safely cross <br /> pedestrians at primary building access points and at internal intersections.Future crosswalks will be at walk <br /> level, with no ramps or step downs. Pedestrian-way lighting may be provided by post lights as well as with <br /> bollard lights in high use areas. <br /> 3.1.7 EXTERNAL AND INTERNAL CAMPUS TRAFFIC CIRCULATION — A Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA)was <br /> performed by SEPI Engineering&Construction Inc. as part of this Special Use Permit modification request. <br /> We have provided a Traffic Review Memo verifying the updated Master Plan fits within the original scope of <br /> the approved SUP.The TIA has been reviewed by the NCDOT District Engineer and by the NCDOT Municipal <br /> and School Transportation Assistance (MSTA) Traffic Management Unit. The recommendations of those <br /> reviews by NCDOT are included in the proposed Master Plan's Traffic Plan.The project as proposed provides <br /> adequate external and internal circulation. <br /> 3.1.8 PROPOSED SCHEDULE FOR CAMPUS ACTIVITIES OUTSIDE OF REGULAR SCHOOL OPERATING HOURS— <br /> - -Arts Center-Besides classroom and academic space,this building will house a performance <br /> space and theater suitable for evening events.These events would occur once or twice a month. <br /> Smaller evening gatherings(committees,etc.)would use the facility on a weekly basis. <br /> -Eurythmy-Occasional(monthly)and small(50 person)evening performances. <br /> -Auditorium -The auditorium would host larger performances and events perhaps once or twice <br /> monthly.The facility could also be available for occasional(once or twice a month)rental as <br /> availability dictates. <br /> -Playing Field -The playing field is in use 3-5 afternoons per week in the Fall and Spring for sports <br /> practice.And the occasional pick-up game.The field will not be lit.
