HomeMy WebLinkAboutRIDGEWOOD HILLS RESIDENCES (4TH FILING) - PDP - 33-10 - CORRESPONDENCE - (23)Middle School Impact
At build out, this development is projected to produce a growth in enrollment of approximately 8 students over the
three middle school grades. At current resident student population levels, and given the fact that there are no active
development projects within the attendance area, it is believed that no relief action will be necessary for the
foreseeable future. As this development does not meet the walk distance criteria as determined by the board of
education, transportation will be required.
High School Impact
At build out, this development is projected to produce a growth in enrollment of approximately 13 students. At current
resident student population levels, and considering that LHS hosts a magnet program, relief action may be required in
the foreseeable future. There are no other active developments within the current attendance area. As this
development does not meet the walk distance criteria as determined by the board of education, transportation will be
required
Additional Comments
The District's citizen -based Master Plan Committee (MPC) monitors capacity levels at each of the district schools and
makes annual recommendations for responding to projected enrollment changes. In consideration of the probable
impact(s) of this development, the MPC may recommend using one or more of the tools described in Section 7.5,
"Accommodating Change", of Master Plan 2010-2011. The selection and timing of the most appropriate tool(s) will be
determined by the Board of Education.
The size and location of this development indicate that the school district land dedication requirement should be made
in the form of payment -in -lieu -of land dedication as per our intergovernmental agreement.

Referral Comments - #33-10 Ridgewood Hills Fourth Filing -Ridgewood
Hills Residences PDP - Type 1 (March 11, 2011)
Pursuant to Colorado Revised Statutes, the Thompson R2-J School District submits comments describing projected
impacts of proposed developments submitted by statutory authority. Comments reflect information and projections
available at time of referral.
Project Overview
The above -named project will consist of 126 two -bedroom and 20 one -bedroom affordable apartments located in the
Ridgewood Hills subdivision, currently within the boundaries of Coyote Ridge Elementary School, Lucile Erwin Middle
School, and Loveland High School. Construction is estimated to begin in 12-18 months, with build out anticipated in
2015.
Impact Overview
Resident populations are within capacity at all levels, and this is not expected to change over the timeframe of this
project. The District anticipates that the overall impact from this project, when viewed from a feeder -system
perspective, will be minimal. Projections are based solely on 2-bedroom units, as the District does not anticipate school -
age children occupying the one -bedroom apartments.
Elementary Impact
At build out, this development is projected to produce a growth in enrollment of approximately 19 students over the six
elementary grades. At current resident student population levels, and given the fact that there are no other
development projects within the attendance area, it is believed that no relief action will be necessary. As this
development meets the walk distance criteria as determined by the board of education, no transportation will be
provided.

Steve,
Just a heads up to let you know that our board approved an
expansion to Coyote Ridge Elementary School. We'll
probably begin construction in August, so if you get any
questions, at least you'll know what's going on. The
expansion will be as shown in the original site development
plan.
Also, attached is our response to the 2nd Round of Review
for #33-10 Ridgewood Hills 4th Filing.
