105 <br />605 <br />606 Jay Bryan: Is there buffering for the other side? <br />607 <br />608 Michael Harvey: There will be small buffering that is shown essentially in the right of way or front property portion of <br />609 the area. The existing secondary entrance is a very entrance so the buffer will be difficult to maintain. <br />610 <br />611 Michelle Kempinski: It is typical to have buffers and site distances to make the notation that you keep the site <br />612 triangles clear. <br />613 <br />614 Michael Harvey: It is a 10x70 which is a requirement of the ordinance but it is one of those conditions that bears <br />615 repeating. <br />616 <br />617 Jay Bryan: On page 206, he makes a statement that the height of the natural pre-cover coupled with significant wide <br />618 buffers should be virtually invisible from immediate and direct distance. I don't see anything about architectural <br />619 standards, is that something you are aware of? <br />620 <br />621 Michael Harvey: The only item I can provide is the elevation staff has provided showing the typical construction. <br />622 <br />623 Craufurd Goodwin: Regarding the traffic issue, I live next to an elementary school who is a wonderful neighbor, but <br />624 the one problem is that twice a day several hundred cars line up in the street outside. Is there a traffic circle that will <br />625 accommodate a portion of those? <br />626 <br />627 Michael Harvey: You have very long access going towards the school. <br />628 <br />629 Craufurd Goodwin: What is the size of the stacking? <br />630 <br />631 Michael Harvey: The site distance from the intersection of the driveway to the road is approximately 460 feet. <br />632 <br />633 Lany Wright: How amenable is this to having this traffic circle per property? <br />634 <br />635 Michael Harvey: I would have that question be answered by the applicant. <br />636 <br />637 Lany Wright: There is a structure near the property line where there appears to be a pasture, what would that be? <br />638 <br />639 Michael Harvey: A storage building. <br />640 <br />641 Steve Yuhasz: I was sworn in at the public hearing. I would like to try to answer a few questions. Mrs. Mack owns <br />642 all the property now. The important this may be seen as a single lot on the tax map is that Mrs. Mack is in the <br />643 process of subdividing the property. The ultimate subdivision will depend on this Special Use Permit is approved. <br />644 The additional entrance was included after a conversation with Mrs. Mack's real estate agent where we had to go <br />645 back and renegotiate the deal so we could get the additional entrance. Mrs. Mack approves that particularly aspect <br />646 for this site plan and the Montessori Farm School as a whole. Part of the intention of the long driveway is to allow <br />647 those cars to get off the road as quickly as possible. This way this school is setup is the preschool and kindergarten <br />648 is not a full day so those children leave earlier. The exit is two different times for the two different sets of children. <br />649 There is a school sponsored car pooling plan I place now. <br />650 <br />651 Jeffrey Schmitt: I have a question about the animals and the pasture size. The total amount of the property is 14 <br />652 acres and it appears the area at the front of the property is where the pasture is located. <br />653 <br />654 Steve Yuhasz: This is correct. That is approximately one acre. We expect we may be able to expand that property <br />655 by using the property that Mrs. Mack will retain. <br />
