800K 102 PAGE 289 Mr. Richey stated it was on the record at the Planning and Zoning Commission there was a willingness to work closely and "Mr. McNally" was told at that time that St. Edwards would involve them. He felt it would not be a problem because they are open to reviewing the lighting. Chairman Eggert asked if they would have a problem if "no lighting spillover" was a condition of approval and, although he had used those words, Mr. Richey replied that he was unfamiliar with technical aspects of lighting. Commissioner Ginn inquired if there was any requirement about intensification of land use under the Special Exception Use, and Director Boling explained that if the intensity increases by more than 10%, it has to come back through the Special Exception process and be approved by the Board. He added that enrollment is the intensification figure used for a school and that is why the numbers were included in staff's report. Community Development Director Robert M. Keating expanded the explanation by adding that with schools they do not have a density measure, such as with residential units per acre or floor area ratio. There is not a maximum intensity that this use could achieve. But with all the other restrictions, there is an overall limit on it and St. Edwards is still significantly under that. At the request of Commissioner Ginn, Director Boling explained the process St. Edwards had to undergo concerning a traffic study. They will need to get a concurrency certificate before they get a building permit and the capacity of AIA will be checked again at that time. Commissioner Ginn asked about the LOS of AlA if this is approved and voiced her concern about the AlA/17a` Street intersection, which she estimated was at LOS "E" bordering on "F" during the season. Director Keating stated that the minimum LOS allowed is "D" in this area. He thought that right now it was a "C" and would remain. He recalled that the AlA corridor study completed last year indicated that the 17t` Street Causeway intersection was close to capacity but with some signalization changes already made, capacity has actually been increased. The improvements required to maintain the capacity of the intersection up through the year 2010 are not needed until after 2000. Those are some of the improvements that are being recommended to the MPO for putting in the work program. :. August 12, 1997
