Date of Application: 2/17/99 Date Complete: 2/17/99 60 day limit: 4/17/99 Play Fields and Athletic Fields The school's plan shows soccer and baseball fields. The landscape architect has noted that the orientation of the fields will cause glare on goal. The Zoning Code requires play fields for schools to be fenced with the fence located at least 15’ from the property line. Fences are appropriate for smaller sites and for day care or nursery schools. Given the size of the campus, staff has not recommended that the City require fences at this time. However, the resolution includes reserving the ability to revisit the need for fences when the area to the east of the fields is developed for residential uses. Signage The applicant has not provided drawings or sketches to indicate how the building or entrances will be signed. The Zoning Code limits signage in residential areas to a nameplate sign with 12 sq. ft. of surface area. Given the size of the building and the lot area, more signage may be requested. A variance will be required if the amount of proposed signage exceeds the Code requirement. Building Size The approval resolution indicates the size of the building, the number of stories, and the footprint. If the building footprint is enlarged or the use of the building changes an amendment or new conditional use permit may be required because the number of classrooms corresponds to required parking. Walkway Ughting The applicant has provided a lighting plan to illuminate the pedestrian paths around the bus staging area and the east side of the school and the drop-off area. The height of the light standard and the allowed cut-off angle and footcandles need to be discussed by the City Council and further clarified on the lighting plan. Landscaping Plan The City's landscape architect, Wally Case of DSU, has reviewed the landscaping plan. His recommendations are incorporated in the approval resolution with the areas to be landscaped and the type and quantity of trees identified. He also recommends plantings in parking islands to §2471 Oroiio Middle School 800 Old Crystal Bay Road Conditional Use Permit April 12. 1999 page-3 i 4
