DRAFT c. The capital facilities program shall utilize a projected growth rate far student enrollment agreed upon by the parties, which growth rate may differ from one school level to another. (i.e., number of students per level per year.) Section 2. The towns and the county will adopt amendments to their respective ordinances, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, to coordinate the approval of residential developments within the School District with the adequacy of existing and proposed school facilities. Section 3. The School District will establish an administrative process to receive and take action upon applications for Certificates of Adequacy of Public Schools Facilities ("CAPS") submitted by developers who are required by an implementing ordinance conceptually similar to that attached as Exhibit A to have such certificates before obtaining development permission from the town or the county. The School District will issue a CAPS for a proposed development if it concludes that, given the number of school age children projected to reside in that development, and considering all of the factors listed immediately below, the number of students projected to attend the applicable school district elementary, middle, and high school levels will not exceed the capacities noted in Section 1 of this memorandum. Factors to be considered by the School District in making this determination include the following: a. The number of students attending elementary schools, middle schools, and high schools and the building capacity at each school level. b. Projected or ongoing construction of new schools or permanent expansion of existing schools as planned in the adopted CIP. If the completion of such school construction is necessary for a CAPS to be issued for a particular development project, then there must be a reasonable expectation that such construction will be completed in time to be of benefit to such project. A "reasonable expectation" of a proposed completion date requires, at the very least, that construction of a proposed new school has received all necessary governmental approvals and that funding is in place, or that such approvals and funding appear "reasonably certain." c. Projected increases in enrollment due to residential growth. The following will be taken into consideration in determining projected enrollment increases: (i) Single-family residential building lots that have received final plat approval, or have been created by a plat exempt from subdivision regulation approval, but that do not contain a completed dwelling; (ii) Single-family or multi-family residential building lots for which: (1) preliminary subdivision plat approval, (2) minor subdivision final plat, (3) zoning compliance permit approval or special or conditional use permit approval have been granted so long as such approvals have not expired;
