r NOV 2S Mxl BOOK 6"4,F'�i U Planning Director Stan Boling pointed out the proposed site on an aerial view of the area with the overflight zone marked in red. He reviewed the three main areas of concern discussed at the meeting of the Planning 6 Zoning Commission who voted 4-1 that the Board of County Commissioners deny special exception use approval for the preschool and primary school. After revision of the site plan to place the buildings just outside the overflight zone, staff is recommending that the Board grant special exception use approval with certain conditions as outlined in staff's recommendation. Director Boling advised that the three main areas of concern with the project were traffic, compatibility with the neighbor- hood, and an airport located in the vicinity. Commissioner Scurlock questioned the dedication and compensation for only 15 feet of right-of-way for this project, after taking 70 feet without compensation in the previous agenda item. Director Keating explained that on the previous item, we were looking at the possibility of there being a Murphy Act deed on the property along 41st Street, which would give the County an easement or, essentially, right-of-way of that area. Commissioner Scurlock wanted to be sure in his own mind that we are being consistent in either paying for all right-of-way or not paying for all right-of-way. Director Boling stated that we are doing that. With the possibility that there is a Murphy Act deed covering the site along 41st Street (essentially, there is a road easement there already), we asked the applicant to go ahead and make that right-of-way dedication as opposed to an easement. In that particular case, they agreed to do that. With regard to traffic concerns, Commissioner Scurlock noted that the intersection of SR -60 and 43rd Avenue and the nearby bridge would have been greatly impacted by the traffic that would have been generated by the proposed DeBartolo mall. In addition to that, there is the congestion along 43rd Avenue when the L.A. Dodgers are here in the spring. 43rd Avenue also seems to be the major access point to our correctional facilities. He was concerned about all of that traffic at peak hours. County Engineer Mike Dudeck explained that staff projected trip generations from a survey done by the applicant and architect on the present facility, and those projections came out less than typical Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) projections. However, to be on the safe side, staff used ITE 34
