Keating, P <br />Community Development D"m7 <br />.67, <br />THROUGH: Stan Boling, AICP <br />Planning Director <br />FROM: John W. McCoy, AICP :: lA <br />Senior Planner, Current Development <br />DATE: July 28, 1997 <br />SUBJECT: St. Edwards School Inc.'s Request for Conceptual Special Exception Approval to <br />Expand the Existing St. Edwards Upper School Campus <br />It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County <br />Commissioners at its regular meeting of August 12, 1997. <br />BACKGROUND: <br />Dow, Howell, Gilmore and Associates, Inc. and Masteller & Moler, Inc. have submitted applications <br />for conceptual special exception and major site plan approval on behalf of St. Edwards School Inc. <br />to expand the existing St. Edwards Upper School campus. The school is located at 1895 St. Edwards <br />Drive. Since the subject property is zoned RS -3 and the facilities will be expanded by more than <br />10%, the request requires special exception use approval. The expansion is to be constructed in a <br />single phase, over the next 5 years. <br />In 1994, the Board of County Commissioners approved a special exception use request and <br />conceptual site plan to expand the high school building area by 34,700 square feet. The 1994 plan <br />located most of the new building improvements close to the north property line on lots that St. <br />Edwards acquired from Sandpointe West. A site plan for Phase I improvements (stormwater and <br />landscaping) was approved and constructed. <br />The new plan supersedes the previous proposal of adding 34,700 square feet, and instead proposes <br />an addition of 99,200 square feet of building area. Facilities for a 6th grade are included in the new <br />proposal which will result in an overall enrollment increase from 375 students to 540 students. Thus, <br />the resulting upper school campus will include a middle school and a high school. <br />All of the newly proposed building improvements have been shifted to the southeast, while an <br />expanded parking lot has been shifted to the north. The proposed improvements include an <br />administration center, auditorium, music and art center, middle school, maintenance facility, athletic <br />support building, and storage facility. <br />58 <br />August 12, 1997 <br />
