Robert Marshbank, 6296 8th Street, who has two lots immediately east of the <br />property in question, believed there are not enough parking spaces to accommodate the number of <br />people he calculated to staff eighty-one (81) students. He complained that the traffic study made <br />available to him did not address 58th Avenue on 8th Street west to 66th Avenue, and believed it <br />would be an impact the County could not handle. <br />Commissioner Davis asked whether there was a Murphy Deed on this property for <br />the future widening of 58th Avenue. <br />Planning Director Stan Boling outlined the nature of the appeal. He displayed an <br />aerial view of the subject streets showing surrounding properties and current zoning. Through his <br />memorandum dated August 24, 2007, he provided background, and addressed the respective <br />concerns of Mr. Marshbank, especially parking impact. Director Boling also addressed questions <br />from the Board. <br />Daryl Peterson, 6300 8th Street, owner of property directly east of the proposed <br />Montessori School, voiced opposition to the request, citing traffic impact as a major concern. He <br />hoped to see a traffic study that addressed 58th and 63rd Avenues. <br />Director Boling explained how the Board could add conditions to limit staffing and <br />the number of children. County Traffic Engineer Chris Mora addressed traffic issues and <br />responded to questions from the Board regarding peak hour trips, number of school days per week, <br />the total number of students, and whether there were restrictions on the number of days per week. <br />Chairman Wheeler commented that Mr. Peterson kept referring to this property as <br />commercial, and believed churches, schools and Child Care Centers need to be in neighborhoods <br />and not commercial districts. <br />Motion WAS MADE by Commissioner O'Bryan, <br />Seconded by Chairman Wheeler, to accept staffs <br />September 11, 2007 21 <br />
