proceeds- (Light and Power)
2. A water meter will be required because this is a corrun=ial use. (Water and

Department for a preliminary plan review. (Building Insp./Fire)

5125 sq. ft. and 2000 sq. ft. will
need to be area used
exclusively for
school purposes.
A six foot privacy
fence is required
for outdoor play
areas. Four off
street parking spaces
would be required
for six employees.
A Planned Unit

required for this
use at this
location.(Zoning)
5. There is currently a dispute about storm drainage issues going on between
this developer and the adjacent property owner. The City has amended the
development agreement to state that no lots can be sold until the dispute is
resolved. (Storm Drainage)
6. There is a concern that this use is incompatible with a single family
neighborhood, particularly located on a cul de sac. Traffic and parking are
seen as the most important issues to be resolved in regard to neighborhood
om-patibility. A neighborhood meeting will be required. (Planning)
