is an emergency vehicle lane that is proposed to go around the school. This emergency vehicle lane was added to address the concern submitted by the Orange County Fire Marshal concerning fire accidents. There are stacking lanes for student drop-off and pickup to the southwest of the proposed classroom buildings and a separate travel lane to separate and segregate vehicular access to this area, meaning that if you park and drop off a student, you're not going to have to be walking out into the middle of oncoming traffic. Elevations: Michael Harvey: There is going to be a central courtyard area, and this area is to be utilized for various purposes and is listed as both a garden natural area, small recreation area, which will mainly be utilized for study purposes. Here is another elevation angle showing the area that will not only afford some small recreation amenity, but will also allow pedestrian or student flow through the site and connect classrooms if necessary, or the administrative staff. Student Pick-up/Drop Off: Parking: This is a close-up view of the parking area and stacking area which I alluded to a few moments ago. You will note that the stacking area, as I previously indicated, is segregated to separate parked vehicles from those vehicles that are trying to access the site. This is not the only parking for the facility, as there are 37 parking spaces to the north of the proposed administration building and classrooms. You will also note on this slide the proposed playground area, a 3,000-square foot area that is going to be to the east of the proposed parking lot. The applicant is not proposing to have athletic fields, meaning that there is no proposal at this time to have a baseball/football/soccer field. There will be no organized,sports activities, at least none is proposed within this application. Pasture/Farm Area: Michael Harvey: This slide is intended to give you an idea of the proposed gravel driveway, the location of the barn where animals will be housed. There is also proposed to be a caretaker's cottage that will be housed with barn structure. One of the initial concerns on staff was that if you're going to have animals on this property without 24-hour supervision, we were concerned about animal safety. The applicant is proposing to have a caretaker's cottage that will be an employee of the school and is going to be responsible for the care of the animals 24 hours a day. To my knowledge, they are going to be associated also with the activities of the school in some type of administrative capacity, but I'll let the applicant get to that in greater detail during their presentation. Review of Project: °Article Eight (8), the project meets all applicable criteria except one (1) specifically Section 8.8.30 of the Ordinance, °Section 8.8.30 (3) (e) requires two (2) entrance ways for such projects. *Staff recommended denial of the application based on this deficiency *However, on June 16, 2008 staff was informed by the applicant that they would provide for two (2) access points for this project off of Terry Road. An e-mail of the proposed reconfiguration was submitted to staff showing the proposed second access point
