Planning Commission Page 3 <br /> April 27,2021 <br /> ----------------------------- <br /> Commissioner Rydberg asked if she felt any concern for the number of cars coming <br /> and going twice a day from the property. His concern was cars spilling out onto the <br /> adjoining street and making sure cars do not queue on the street. <br /> Ms. Bringus stated there are numerous parking spaces in both parking lots, so they <br /> do not anticipate that being a problem for either staff parking or drop off/pick up <br /> traffic. They have expanded the times for drop off and pick up this year will <br /> potentially allocate certain time slots for different grade levels if necessary. <br /> Commissioner Jordan asked about the comments received of students throwing <br /> construction debris onto neighboring properties. <br /> Ms. Bringus stated it was construction debris left over on their property. She <br /> indicated most have been cleaned up and the larger pieces will be removed over the <br /> summer. <br /> Shawn Elder representing CSDC echoed Ms. Bringus' comments"regarding the <br /> school's view to find a workable solution and with the'consideration of a tree line <br /> requirement instead of a fence. He stated tall evergreens can be spaced properly to <br /> grow even higher than a 7' fence. He also appreciated that removal of the 15-foot <br /> setback requirement as this takes away more space for the students,noting there are <br /> already setbacks in place to provide separation between businesses and students. He <br /> appreciated working towards an amicable solution as well as manage the financial <br /> cost. <br /> Commissioner`^- an as how trOes trstead of fence would prevent students from <br /> interacting with businesses. <br /> Mr. Elder stated trees would be a physical,visual barrier. He noted one of the letters <br /> from a nearby business would prefer tree plantings as it would be more aesthetically <br /> pleasing. He requested if a fence is required, that 7'is special order so requested <br /> either 6' or 8'. There is currently a chain length fence in place and trees would be <br /> planted inside that fence. <br /> Chris Castagneri, 19700 Rush St. NW is the board chair and parent of a student <br /> attending the school. She addressed the traffic flow questions and her student uses <br /> both the bus and the drop off/pick up. She states in her experience she has never <br /> experienced any problems with vehicles queuing on the main road, and there no <br /> congestion as she is always able to pull in,noting the flow seems to be very <br /> workable. <br /> There being no one else to speak, Chair Larson-Vito closed the public hearing. <br /> Commissioner Rydberg supported either a 6' or 8' fence if that becomes a condition. <br /> Commissioner Thiel stated based upon the businesses in the area and their <br /> experiences that an opaque fence seems to be a better solution for the privacy and <br /> student protection. He supports installing a fence instead of trees as it will cut down <br /> F 0 W I H E 0 B1 <br /> 114AfURE <br />
