Attorney Barkett disclosed that although Imagine Schools was fine with Vice <br />Chairman Davis's suggestion to keep traffic off 4th Street, the school was not going to redesign <br />the site plan. <br />There being no further speakers, the Chairman closed the public hearing. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Wheeler, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner O'Bryan, for discussion, <br />to: (1) not allow a left turn into the school; (2) require a <br />traffic officer; and (3) keep all traffic and stacking onsite <br />and monitor it for a period of three months (3 months) <br />minimum, to see if there is a need for the left turn lane. <br />Commissioner Wheeler clarified that the bond requirement to put up $350,000 for <br />the left turn lane, was not part of the Motion. <br />Discussion ensued among the Board and Attorney Barkett as the latter sought and <br />received clarification on what the school's focus would be during the three-month evaluation <br />period. Director Mora said that staff would be using quantitative numbers to evaluate the data <br />and determine if the amount of traffic generated by Phase 1 of the school could be handled. <br />The Board Consensus was that, after the three-month period, if Imagine Schools <br />could keep its traffic on site, it could proceed with Phase 2. <br />Principal Mills asserted that Imagine Schools would experience no problems <br />with the traffic queuing on site. <br />Mr. Cascone explained the importance for Imagine Schools to have some <br />certainty that they could ultimately move ahead with the opening of both of their buildings. <br />24 <br />September 16, 2008 <br />
