County Attorney William Collins explained "special exception" as a use permitted when <br />certain conditions and criteria are met. He clarified "general" criteria and "specific land use" <br />criteria (for special exception) as it pertains to schools, and acknowledged that the various required <br />criteria relating to the school had been met. <br />In response to Commissioner O'Bryan's query, Assistant Public Works Director Chris <br />Mora affirmed there were no plans in the Five Year Capital Improvements Program to improve 4th <br />Street. Discussion ensued regarding future improvements to the intersections, culverting a portion <br />of the drainage ditch, adding the westbound right turn lane, and possibly in the future, an <br />eastbound left turn lane. <br />Discussion ensued and the Commissioners expressed their concerns and asked for more <br />details regarding temporary buildings, road improvements, the permit process, increased traffic, <br />and an alternate plan if the school is not ready by August. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Flescher, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner O'Bryan, to support <br />Planning and Zoning's decision, with conditions, staff's <br />recommendation with conditions, and adding a left turn <br />lane during Phase 2. <br />Under discussion, Commissioner O'Bryan suggested adding not only the left turn lane, but <br />also making improvements from 4th Street to 66t' Avenue in Phase 2. Later in the meeting he <br />withdrew his suggestion upon learning that it could not be legally enforced. He remained in <br />support of the original motion. <br />10 <br />April 29, 2008 <br />
