Staff presented an overview of the development stating there were a number of outstanding technical issues in need of addressing related to the site plan. Staff requested the applicant provide staff with an overall site development plan including the existing school and indicate access and circulation to the site. Staff questioned if the number of students would be increased with the construction of the new school. The applicant stated there were currently 487 students and the Charter School was allowed a maximum of 600 students. January 27, 2011 SUBDIVISION ITEM NO.: 3 {Co FILE NO.: Z-3689-1 Public Works comments were addressed. Staff stated a traffic study would be required for the request. Staff stated the traffic study should address the level of service on West Markham Street with the additional traffic. Staff stated there was not a turn lane on West Markham Street at Corporate Hill Drive. Staff also requested the applicant provide a sketch grading and drainage plan for the site. Staff stated the request was to verify if retaining walls would be required and, if so, to ensure the height of the walls complied with the typical ordinance requirements with a maximum height of fifteen feet. Staff stated a portion of the proposed parking was located within the floodway. Staff stated no construction could take place within the floodway. Landscaping comments were addressed.

The Committee then forwarded the item to the full Commission for final action. H. ANALYSIS: The applicant submitted a revised site plan addressing comments raised at the January 5, 2011, Subdivision Committee meeting. The revised site plan has removed all encroachments into the floodway and indicated all retaining walls will comply with the Land Alteration Ordinance. The applicant has provided staff with an overall site plan including the existing campus and the new building and indicated access and circulation to the site. Stacking and circulation will be located on both lots. A new drive will be constructed on Corporate Hill Drive on the western most lot for entrance and exiting onto an existing drive on the eastern most lot. The western most drive located on the eastern lot (the current facility) will be removed as requested by Public Works staff. Traffic entering the site from this area will be via Corporate Hill Drive. With the new construction a drive will be constructed from an adjacent lot located to the west along the rear of the new building connecting to the existing parking located behind the current school. Access to this area will be via Executive Court. This will allow for drop-off and pick-up to occur behind the building for a portion of the students. All traffic will exit the site on Corporate Hill Drive. The combined parking of the existing campus and the new construction is 137 parking spaces. The school currently has 41 faculty members and plans to hire five (5) additional staff members with the proposed growth.

The applicant has provided staff with a traffic analysis for the site. Staff is continuing to work with the applicant and the applicant's design professional to determine the impacts on traffic in the area. Staff will provide the Commission with an update at the January 27, 2011, public hearing. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommendation forth coming.
