CATELYN?

>> GOOD EVENING, CHAIR MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.

SORRY TO MAKE YOU WORK SO HARD ON YOUR BIRTHDAY THERE.

THE ITEMS BEFORE YOU TONIGHT, AS YOU MENTION, MR. CHAIR, GENERALLY RELATE TO THE EXPANSION OF THE EXISTING SOMERSET CHARTER SCHOOL, GNERALLY LOCATED AT THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF HILLSBORO BOULEVARD IN UNIVERSITY DRIVE.

PROPERTIES APPROXIMATELY 10 ACRES IN SIZE AND IS ZONED WITH THE PLANNED COMMERCIAL ZONING.

THIS ITEM WAS BEFORE YOU ORIGINALLY IN 2018, FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO WERE ON THE BOARD. YOU WILL REMEMBER THE ORIGINAL APPROVALS AND TONIGHT BEFORE YOU, TO EXPAND THE ORIGINAL APPROVAL WHICH WAS ORIGINALLY FOR KINDERGARTEN THROUGH EIGHTH GRADE WITH A MAXIMUM OF 1280 STUDENTS.

THE REQUEST TONIGHT, GENERALLY ALLOWED THE SCHOOL TO GO FROM K-82K-12 WITH A MAXIMUM OF 2100 STUDENTS.

AND ALSO INCREASES THE SQUARE FOOTAGE OF THE BUILDING FROM APPROXIMATELY 98,000 SQUARE FEET, ALTHOUGH NOT ALL 98,000 SQUARE FEET WERE BUILT. YOU WILL REMEMBER IN THE ORIGINAL APPROVAL THERE WAS THE GYMNASIUM IN ANOTHER WING OF THE SCHOOL THAT WAS APPROVED BUT NEVER CONSTRUCTED.

SO THE GENERAL FOOTPRINT GOES FROM THE 98,000, THOUGH NOT COMPLETELY BUILT, UP TO 135,000 SQUARE-FOOT MAXIMUM OF ALLOWANCE ON THE PROPERTY. SO TONIGHT BEFORE YOU, APPLICATIONS INCLUDE THE MASTER PLAN AMENDMENT, THE MASTER PLAN AMENDMENT IS GENERALLY ACCOMMODATING AN INCREASE FROM AN ALLOWANCE ON PARCEL C OF THE MIRALAGO MASTER PLAN WHICH IS 1E WE'RE TALKING ABOUT TONIGHT, THE CHARTER SCHOOL.

THERE IS A LIMITATION ON THE MASTER PLAN TO 110,000 SQUARE FEET. OBVIOUSLY THE PROPOSAL BEFORE YOU TONIGHT EXCEEDS THAT ALLOWANCE AND SO THEY ARE REQUESTING AN INCREASE IN THE SQUARE FOOTAGE ON THE MASTER PLAN. AND AMENDMENTS TO CONDITIONS THAT RELATE TO THAT SQUARE FOOTAGE RESTRICTION.

SO IT IS A DRAWING CHANGE AND A CHANGE TO TWO CONDITIONS THAT REFLECT THE 110,000 SQUARE-FOOT LIMITATION.

THE NEXT ITEM BEFORE YOU IS SIMILAR IN NATURE, IT IS THE AMENDMENT WHICH HAD A RESTRICTION TO 100,000 SQUARE FEET OF PUBLIC CHARTER SCHOOL. THE INCREASE IS COMMENSURATE WITH THE MASTER PLAN. THEY ARE REQUESTING THE MASTER PLAN OF THE 135,000 SQUARE FEET OF PUBLIC CHARTER SCHOOL.

THE NEXT ITEM BEFORE YOU IS THE SPECIAL EXCEPTION.

AND THE BASIS FOR THIS REQUEST IS, AS I MENTIONED, THIS THEY PLANNED COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT OF ZONING DISTRICT, EDUCATIONAL AND VOCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS ARE PERMITTED BY SPECIAL EXCEPTION IN THAT ZONING DISTRICT. YOU WILL REMEMBER THE ORIGINAL APPROVAL CAME IN BY SPECIAL EXCEPTION AND THAT HAD THE TYPES OF LIMITATIONS LIKE I MENTIONED AT THE BEGINNING THAT INCLUDED THE SQUARE FOOTAGE, THE 1280 STUDENTS, K-8 SO TO ACCOMMODATE THE REQUEST THEY ARE MANAGING THE SPECIAL REQUEST FOR THE PROPOSAL NOW WHICH INCLUDES THE ADDITIONAL STUDENTS, ADDITIONAL GREATS AND ADDITIONAL SQUARE FOOTAGE.

THE NEXT BATCH OF APPLICATIONS ARE THE SITE PLAN AMENDMENT AND THE COMMUNITY APPEARANCE BOARD WHICH REFLECT THE REQUEST THAT I MENTIONED BEFORE. OBVIOUSLY INCLUDING THE EXPANDED FOOTPRINT AND THE ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN OF THE SCHOOL ITSELF.

THE LAST TWO ARE MORE ADMINISTRATIVE IN NATURE.

IT IS THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT AND AN AMENDMENT TO THE EXISTING DECLARATION ARE RESTRICTED COVENANTS.

THE DECORATION OF RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS REFLECT THE MASTER PLAN SO IT IS JUST SIMPLY STATING OR REFLECTING THE REQUESTED INCREASE FROM THE 110,000 UP TO THE 135,000 SQUAR% FEET. THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, YOU WILL REMEMBER, WAS A VERY LENGTHY DOCUMENT THAT SUPPLEMENTED THE SITE PLAN APPROVAL ORIGINALLY AND IT LARGELY TALKED ABOUT THE OPERATIONAL MANAGEMENT PLAN AND

[00:10:02]

SO ALL OF THE CHANGES TO THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT THAT ARE BEFORE YOU REPRESENT THE CHANGES IN OPERATIONS GENERATED BY GOING FROM K HYPHENATE UP TO K-12 AND THE ADDITIONAL IMPACTS THAT ARE GENERATED AS A RESULT OF THE PROJECT.

SO WITH THAT, I WILL MENTION WE HAVE THE CITY'S TRAFFIC ENGINEER AND THE CITIES EDR P FOR THE ARCHITECTURAL AND THE AUDIENCE IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS SPECIFIC TO THOSE, FACETS OF THE PROJECT, WITHOUT I WILL TURN OVER TO THE APPLICANT TO MAKE THEIR

PRESENTATION. >> THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BOARD CHAIR.

ON BEHALF OF THE APPLICANT, AT THE SEAWALL AGAIN.

JUST GIVE ME A COUPLE MINUTES. I'M GOING TO WORK MY WAY THROUGH A PRESENTATION. YOU'LL BE HEARING FROM A FEW PEOPLE OVER THE COURSE OF THE PRESENTATION THAT WILL COLLECTIVELY SUMMARIZE EVERYTHING, ALL OF THE ITEMS THAT WERE JUST MENTIONED. YOU WILL HEAR FROM ME, AS A MAJORITY. YOU WILL HEAR FROM PRINTABLE CASTRO TO TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THE SPECIFIC SCHOOL AS IT HAS BEEN OPERATING FOR THE LAST MANY YEARS.

YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR FROM OUR TRAFFIC ENGINEER WHO IRONICALLY ENOUGH, IS STUCK IN TRAFFIC. [LAUGHTER] HE WILL BE HERE ANY MINUTE. HE IS COMING FROM PALM BEACH COUNTY SO I DON'T THINK HE'S LOCAL.

AND YOU WILL BE HEARING FROM OUR CONSTRUCTION TEAM AS WELL TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT PHASING. OBVIOUSLY WITH WHAT IS CURRENTLY OUT THERE, WHAT WE ARE PROPOSING TO DO, THERE ARE A LOT OF QUESTIONS. PROBABLY IN RESPECT TO EVERYONE I JUST NAMED, SCHOOL OPERATIONS, OBVIOUSLY A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT TRAFFIC AND PARKING RELATED ISSUES AND CERTAINLY CONSTRUCTION PHASING BECAUSE ALTHOUGH WE HOPEFULLY DO A MAJORITY OF THE CONSTRUCTION DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS, CONSTRUCTION WILL CERTAINLY BE OCCURRING WELL SCHOOL IS IN SESSION AND SO WE OBVIOUSLY TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS BOARD, WE HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH CITY STAFF ON A QUITE A BIT, UNDERSTAND THE CONSTRUCTION PHASING PLANS AS WELL.

WITH THAT I WILL TRY TO MAKE SURE I GOT THIS THING RIGHT BECAUSE EVERY TIME I'M HERE IT IS IN A DIRT DIFFERENT

DIRECTION. >> L A COMMENT ON WHICH NUMBERS OF THE PAPER AND ANY NOTES, ANY COMMENTS YOU WANT TO MAKE, WRITE THEM DOWN. THE PRESENTATION MAY BE LENGTHY SO WE DON'T LIKE YOU TO FORGET ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY WANT TO

ASK. >> THANK YOU, APPRECIATE THAT.

IT WOULD BE GREAT IF WE CAN GET THROUGH THE PRESENTATION AND OBVIOUSLY WE HAVE A WHOLE TEAM OF PEOPLE HERE THAT HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THIS WITH THE CITY AND THE STAFF LITTLE BETTER PART OF LAST YEAR AND CHANGE. I THINK WE HAVE PROBABLY DOTTED EVERY EYE AND CROSSED EVERY TEA WILL BE FINE PRETTY REGULARLY WHEN WE GET INTO PUBLIC HEARINGS, THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT THE BOARD MEMBERS AND PARTICULARLY IN PARKLAND BOARD MEMBERS WILL IDENTIFY THAT MAYBE WE HAD INVOLVED IT SO THAT IS THE PURPOSE OF WHAT WE ARE ALL DOING HERE THIS EVENING.

SO IF YOU START WITH JUST A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND BEFORE HE HANDED OFF TO PRINCIPAL CASTRO ON THE KIND OF GOVERNANCE ASSOCIATED WITH THE SCHOOL, THIS PARTICULAR SCHOOL IS A SOMERSET PARKLAND ACADEMY, SOMERSET IS A BRAND UNDER THE UMBRELLA OF ACADEMIC. AS YOU CAN SEE ON THE SCREEN BEFORE YOU, IT IS KIND OF A GLOBAL BRAND THAT GOT MULTIPLE DIFFERENT EDUCATIONAL OPTIONS THAT EXIST ONLINE, BRICK AND MORTAR, ET CETERA. 130 SOME ODD STUDENTS, 200 PLUS SCHOOLS, THE OVERWHELMING MAJORITY OF WHICH ARE LOCATED IN SOUTH FLORIDA. THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT FOCUS ON ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE, ENSURING THAT THE OVERWHELMING MAJORITY OF THEIR SCHOOLS, INCLUDING THE SCHOOL WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THIS EVENING, WERE A ORB BE SCHOOLS.

SOMERSET, AS I SAID, IS A SUBSET OF ACADEMIC ACT SOMERSET HAS I BELIEVE IT'S 76 SCHOOLS TOTAL NATIONWIDE.

AGAIN, THE VAST MAJORITY OF THEIR SCHOOLS WERE ALSO LOCATED IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA WITH THE OVERWHELMING MAJORITY BEING LOCATED IN SOUTH FLORIDA. WE ARE TALKING ABOUT A BUSINESS ENTITY AND AN OPERATOR THAT UNDERSTANDS THE SCHOOL BUSINESS.

IN PARTICULAR, WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE TODAY IN TERMS OF CHARTER SCHOOLS, A LOT OF THE ITEMS THAT WE WILL PROBABLY DISCUSS TODAY IN TERMS OF STACKING AND PICKUP AND DROP-OFF, ACADEMICS AND EXTRACURRICULARS AND PARKING, TRAFFIC, ALL OF THOSE ELEMENTS ARE THINGS THAT THIS PARTICULAR OPERATOR HAS DEALT WITH IN ALL OF THEIR SCHOOLS AND ALL SORTS OF LOCATIONS. SUBURBAN, URBAN, ET CETERA.

SO WE BELIEVE WE HAVE ADDRESSED THE VAST MAJORITY OF QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS THAT MAY COME UP. BUT WE ARE HERE AND ALL BEASTLY WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ADDRESS ANY OF THE CONCERNS THAT ARE RAISED BY BOARD MEMBERS AS WELL.

SOMERSET VERY SIMILARLY HAS VERY STRONG ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE AND PRIDES THEMSELVES ON SOME OF THE RECOGNITION THAT THEY HAVE

[00:15:04]

OPERATING FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS. >> THANK YOU, SCOTT.

AT EVENING AND THANK YOU FOR HAVING US HERE AND CONSIDERING

>> CAN YOU STATE YOUR NAME PLEASE?

>> THAT'S ROSE GOING NEXT. FOR THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW WHO I AM, I AM THE FOUNDING PRINCIPLE OF SOMERSET PARKLAND ACADEMY.

WE OPENED OUR DOORS DURING A VERY CHALLENGING TIME, OUR SCHOOL OPENED IN 2020, IN THE MIDDLE OF A WORLDWIDE PANDEMIC.

UNLIKE TRADITIONAL SCHOOLS TO GET TO WELCOME STUDENTS OPENING CLASSROOMS, OUR FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL WAS ON ZOOM.

IN A COMMUNITY THAT WE HAD NOT EVER BEEN A PART OF.

SO OVERCOMING SOME OF THOSE CHALLENGES IN YEAR ONE.

I AM BLESSED TO STAND HERE BEFORE YOU TO SAY THAT WITHIN THE LAST FIVE YEARS, THIS IS OUR SIXTH YEAR AS PART OF THE PARKLAND COMMUNITY, WE HAVE ACHIEVED AMAZING ACCOLADES.

WE ARE CURRENTLY A HIGH-PERFORMING CHARTER SCHOOL.

WE HAVE RECEIVED THE SCHOOL OF EXCELLENCE DESIGNATION, WHICH IF YOU GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE YOU CAN SEE IT AS WELL.

IN ADDITION, ARE SPORTS PROGRAMS HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN DISTRICT CHAMPIONSHIPS, WE HAVE A PHENOMENAL DRAMA ACADEMY PUTTING PERFORMANCES 2-3 TIMES A YEAR.

AND WE ARE WHAT WE CALL OUR FAMILY.

WE'RE NOT JUST A SCHOOL. AND WITH THAT SAID, I SAY THAT WE HAVE DONE NOTHING BUT WORK HARD TO SET OURSELVES ASIDE FROM ALL OF THE OTHER LOCAL SCHOOLS. WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE AN OPPORTUNITY TO ADDITIONAL CHILDREN AND NOT JUST THAT, BUT ALLOW US TO GROW OUR STUDENTS AND SEE THEM FROM KINDERGARTEN, THROUGH HIGH SCHOOL. AND MAKE AN IMPACT.

SOMETIMES STUDENTS DON'T NECESSARILY WANT AN EXPERIENCE OF JUST A TRADITIONAL HIGH SCHOOL SETTING.

I KNOW YOU'RE IN THIS CITY WE HAVE ONE MIDDLE SCHOOL AND ONE HIGH SCHOOL. BY ALLOWING THIS EXPANSION, IT DOES GIVE US AN OPPORTUNITY TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL OPTIONS TO OUR CHILDREN HERE AND PARKLAND. AND I AM PROUD TO SAY THAT WE ARE CURRENTLY THE NUMBER 4 CHARTER SCHOOL FOR ELEMENTARY AND MIDDLE SCHOOL IN THE COUNTY. AND THE NUMBER 1 K-8 PUBLIC SCHOOL IN BROWARD COUNTY. AND TO HAVE ALL OF THIS IN JUST FIVE YEARS. AND NOT A TRADITIONAL FIVE YEARS. DURING A PANDEMIC.

SO I ASK YOU TO CONSIDER OUR EXPANSION AND ALLOW US TO SEE OUR CHILDREN FLOURISH AND GROW. FROM KINDERGARTEN THROUGH HIGH SCHOOL AND PROVIDE THEM AN EXCEPTIONAL OPPORTUNITY AND MAKE THEM INCREDIBLE MEMBERS OF SOCIETY.

YOU WANT TO TAKE OVER? [APPLAUSE]

>> THANK YOU, PRINCIPAL CASTRO. GETTING INTO THE MEAT OF THE APPLICATIONS THAT WE'RE HERE TO DISCUSS TODAY, THINK EVERYONE HERE IS PROBABLY FAMILIAR WITH THE ITEM LOCATION.

BUT JUST TO ACQUAINT EVERYONE, WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT HERE IS ABOUT A 10.3-ACRE SITE. IT IS LOCATED AT THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF UNIVERSITY DRIVE. WHAT YOU SEE JUST TO THE SOUTH IS ONE OF THE PODS WITH THE COUNTRY CLUB, JUST TO THE NORTH IS MIRALAGO AND JUST LEFT ARE THE TOWNHOMES.

THE SITE HASN'T UNDERLYING COMMERCIAL LAND USE AND AS CATELYN MENTIONED, HAS A PCD ZONING DESIGNATION.

CATELYN OUTLINED WHAT I BELIEVE ARE SEVEN DIFFERENT OPTIONS WHICH ARE ONLY FIVE AGENDA ITEMS BECAUSE THERE IS THE EXCEPTION WITH C.A.B. COLLECTIVELY IN ONE AGENDA ITEM.

SO BEFORE WE GET INTO WHAT WE ARE HERE TO REQUEST, I THINK IT IS VERY IMPORTANT -- I KNOW SOME OF YOU ARE ON THIS BOARD WHEN THIS CAME THROUGH IN 2018 AND 2019, I THINK IS VERY IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND THE BACKGROUND AND HISTORY.

BEFORE I GET INTO THE SLIDE THAT YOU WERE ALL LOOKING AT, THIS GOES BACK FURTHER THAN THAT. THIS PROPERTY WAS ALL ANNEXED AS PART OF THE WEDGE, I THINK THE ANNEXATION AGREEMENT I WANT TO SAY GOES BACK TO -- IS IT 2011? I WAS LOOKING AT SOME ADDITIONAL HISTORY ABOVE AND BEYOND, THIS SITE WAS ORIGINALLY ENVISIONED AND IT IS WHAT YOU SEE WITH SOME OF THE SLIDES, SOME OF WHAT CATELYN REFERENCED. THERE WAS ORIGINALLY ONE FOR COMMERCIAL USE HERE, ULTIMATELY THIS DID NOT COME IN AND CHANGE AND GET APPROVED FOR THE CHARTER SCHOOL UNTIL 2018 AND 2019 AND SO I THINK THAT IS ALSO AN IMPORTANT HISTORICAL

[00:20:01]

BUT WAS ORIGINALLY APPROVED WAS A MOST 100,000 SQUARE FEET, ONLY 56,000 SQUARE FEET HAD BEEN BUILT.

14,600 SQUARE-FOOT GYMNASIUM WHICH HAS NOT YET BEEN BUILT AS PART OF THE REQUEST BEFORE YOU TODAY ALTHOUGH A LITTLE BIT AND A LARGER FORMAT. 61 CLASSROOMS, ONLY 43 WERE BUILT. A STUDENT CAP OF 1280 STUDENTS, JUST OVER 1000 STUDENTS CURRENTLY ATTEND THE SCHOOL.

AND THEN ACCESS ALONG THE UNIVERSITY WHICH REMAINS THE SAME TODAY. ALSO IMPORTANTLY, BECAUSE IT IS PART OF THE REQUEST BASINS WE ARE EXPANDING, IT WAS APPROVED AS A SPECIAL EXCEPTION AND THROUGH ALL SPECIAL EXCEPTION CRITERIA THEN, WHICH WE HAVE OUTLINED AND OUR BACKUP FOR BREVITY, I WILL NOT GO THROUGH ALL OF THEM.

IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER AND ADDRESS THEM WHEN WE GET TO THAT POINT. SO THESE ARE THE TWO BUILDINGS THAT WERE APPROVED ON THE SITE PLAN THAT WERE NOT BUILT.

YOU WILL SEE ON OUR CURRENT PLANS, WE ARE PROPOSING THEM ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT'S PROPOSAL FIRST SEE, THE TOP LEFT IS BUILDING E, THE GYM AND THEN YOU HAVE THE CLASSROOM BUILDING IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT. THOSE DO NOT EXIST TODAY.

EVERYTHING ELSE THAT IS HIGHLIGHTED IN YELLOW WAS CONSTRUCTED, DOES EXIST, ACCESS POINTS, PARKING, THE STACKING AND Q FOR PICKUP AND DROP OFF. AND SOME OF THE INTERIOR AREAS OF WHAT EXISTS TODAY. ALSO IMPORTANTLY AS PART OF THE PRIOR APPROVALS AND CATELYN MENTIONED THIS IN REGARDS TO THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A SOMEWHAT CONTENTIOUS APPROVAL OF THE FIRST TIME AROUND, THERE WAS A LOT OF SCRUTINY AND UNDERSTANDABLY SO. AND THERE WERE A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF CONDITIONS THAT WERE PUT IN PLACE.

A NUMBER OF THOSE CONDITIONS, THEY WERE OUTLINED INSIGNIFICANT MORE TEXT THAN THE DEVELOPMENT ORDERS AND EVEN MORE TEXT THAN THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT. AS CATELYN MENTIONED, I HAVE BEEN WORKING VERY CLOSELY WITH ANTHONY AND CATELYN ON AMENDMENT TO THE DEVELOPED AGREEMENT THAT WILL REFLECT CONDITIONS OF ALL OF THESE CONDITIONS BY THE WAY THAT HAVE BEEN MET AND COMPLIED WITH. THINGS LIKE MONTHLY AND ANNUAL MONITORING ARE NOT REQUIREMENTS ANY LONGER BECAUSE THE TIME FRAMES UNDER THE ORIGINAL DEVELOPMENT ORDER AND WHAT WAS BUILT. HOWEVER, ESPECIALLY IN PREPARATION FOR THIS APPLICATION, ARE TRAFFIC ENGINEERS HAVE BEEN OUT THERE DOING SOME MONITORING.

AND AS PART OF THESE FUTURE PHASES OF WHAT WE WILL BE TALKING TO YOU ABOUT, WE WILL BE IMPLEMENT IN ALL OF THESE ITEMS AGAIN. SO ANNUAL REPORTING, MONTHL MONITORING, THINGS OF THAT NATURE WILL AGAIN, BECOME REQUIREMENTS, EVEN THOUGH I THINK WHAT EVERYONE WAS AFRAID OF PROVED TO MAYBE NOT BE AS SCARY ONCE THE SCHOOL WAS BUILT AN OPEN AND OPERATING OUTSIDE OF THE PANDEMIC.

BUT THAT DOESN'T MATTER. WE'RE PROPOSING TO GO K-12 SUPPOSED TO K-8, ADDING ADDITIONAL STUDENTS AND MAYBE EVEN MAKING SURE, SPENDING A VERY SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF TIME MAKING SURE THAT WE ARE ADDRESSIG AND COMPLYING WITH THE PRIOR CONDITIONS, CURRENT CONDITIONS ON THE ROADWAY AND FUTURE CONDITIONS AND APPROPRIATE MITIGATION IS BEING PUT IN PLACE AS WELL AND YOU WILL HEAR ABOUT ALL OF THAT DURING OUR PRESENTATION THIS EVENING.

SOME OF THE IMPROVEMENTS ALSO IMPORTANTLY, WE DID HAVE TO DO PRETTY SIGNIFICANT MITIGATION THE FIRST TIME AROUND.

WE HAD TO CONSTRUCT TURN LANES, YOU SEE ONE HIGHLIGHTED THERE, YOU SEE THE EXTENSION OF THE TURN LANE ON THE RIGHT-HAND SIDE HIGHLIGHTED IN BLUE. ADDITIONAL IMPROVEMENTS, CROSSING GUARDS, THINGS OF THAT NATURE.

ALSO ARE TRAFFIC ENGINEER WAS FILLING US IN BECAUSE I WAS NOT PART OF THIS THE FIRST TIME AROUND HE WAS.

WE DIDN'T THINK BROWARD COUNTY WOULD APPROVE THE SCHOOL ZONE, IT WAS A CONDITION, WE HAD TO GO PUSH AND FIGHT WITH THE COUNTY TO GET IT AND OBVIOUSLY IT DID APPROVE THE SCHOOL ZONE SO I THINK A LOT OF THE CONDITIONS AND MITIGATION THAT WERE PUT INTO PLACE THE FIRST TIME AROUND HAVE ALREADY BEEN IMPLEMENTED AND WILL OBVIOUSLY BE HELPFUL AND IMPACTFUL WITH THE ADDITIONAL CHANGES THAT WE ARE NOW PROPOSING.

I THINK THE LAST SLIDE ON PRIOR APPROVALS GOES BACK TO ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS. THIS IS REALLY MORE SPECIFIC TO SCHOOL OPERATIONS. THERE ARE A NUMBER OF BSO OFFICERS, CERTIFIED CROSSING GUARDS, ALSO SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICERS. THERE WAS A CAP THAT WAS A CONDITION -- THAT WILL BE A CONDITION AGAIN.

OBVIOUSLY WE'RE LOOKING TO INCREASE THAT CAP TO ALLOW HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS TO COME IN BUT THERE WILL BE A CAP AND YOU WILL SEE THAT WE ALSO HAVE STAGGERED START TIMES.

THAT BOTTOM GRAPHIC SHOWS YOU IN PARTICULAR AT THE MAIN ENTRANCE

[00:25:02]

SO THE REQUEST BEFORE YOU TODAY IT WAS A GOOD JOB SUMMARIZING THEM, JUST SITTING HERE FOR THE FIRST COUPLE MASTER PLAN A MOMENT AND PLANNED OUT AMENDMENTS WILL BE SUMMARIZED IN A MOMENT. SPECIAL EXCEPTION REALLY AS IT RELATES TO THE EXPANSION, THE CRITERIA ASSOCIATED WITH WHAT WAS ESTABLISHED AND APPROVED IN 2018 FOR THE NATURE OF THE USE REMAINS THE SAME. OBVIOUSLY YOU STILL HAVE TO GO THROUGH THAT PROCESS BECAUSE WE ARE ASKING TO INCREASE THE SIZE OF THE USE. THE MEAT OF THIS CONVERSATION TODAY WILL REVOLVE AROUND THE SITE PLAN, THE IMPROVEMENTS, THE TRAFFIC COMPONENTS ASSOCIATED WITH THOSE IMPROVEMENTS, PHASING ASSOCIATE WITH THOSE IMPROVEMENTS AND I WENT A LITTLE OUT OF ORDER BUT WE HAD THE COMMUNITY BOARDS BECAUSE THAT IS WHERE WE GET A LOOK AT THE ARCHITECTURE AND THE PRETTY PICTURES AND REALLY SEE WHAT THE FINISHED PRODUCT IS ULTIMATELY GOING TO LOOK LIKE. WE HAVE A NUMBER OF ELEVATIONS AND RENDERINGS THAT YOU WILL GET TO SEE THERE.

AND THE LAST TWO ITEMS IF THIS ALL GOES THROUGH, AT THIS GETS APPROVED IS TAKING THE CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL, I THINK THERE ARE 20 OF THEM AND THE MEAT OF THEM ON THE SITE PLAN APPLICATION, MAKING SURE THOSE ARE INCORPORATED IN THE DEVELOPING AGREEMENT WHICH I BELIEVE THE DRAFT IS PART OF THAT? WE HAVE STILL BEEN WORKING ON SOME COMPONENTS OF IT. BUT FOR THE MOST PART IT IS FINALIZED. AND THEN ASSOCIATIONS WITH ITEMS ONE AND TWO JUST TO TRY AND CONNECT ALL OF THE DOTS.

AMENDING THE DECLARATION FOR THE RESTRICTED COVENANT BECAUSE THEY DON'T GET INTO THAT ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE PRESENTATION.

THERE IS A DOCUMENT THAT IDENTIFIES 110,000 SQUARE FEET WHERE NOW IT IS ABOUT THE CITY, THE COUNTY IN THE PROPERTY OWNER. IF IT'S ALL GETS APPROVED, WE'RE GOING UP TO 135,000 SQUARE FEET TO ACCOMMODATE THE ADDITIONAL SQUARE FOOTAGE. THAT DOCUMENT NEEDS TO BE AMENDED AS WELL. THE IDEA IS THAT THE CITY WOULD APPROVE IT NOW AND THEN WE'VE GOT TO DO WITH BROWARD COUNTY.

SO THE MASTER PLAN APPLICATION, AS I MENTIONED, CATELYN AS WELL, THIS WAS ORIGINALLY A COMMERCIAL POD WITHIN THE LARGER MIRALAGO PLAN DEVELOPMENT AND MASTER PLAN.

SO ALL OF THE RESIDENTIAL THAT IS SURROUNDING IT, THERE IS A RESTRICTION, WERE HUNTED THEN THOUSAND SQUARE FEET OF COMMERCIAL. NOW WE ARE CHANGING THAT TO HOPEFULLY ALLOW THE 135,000 SQUARE FEET TO ACCOMMODATE THE ADDITIONAL SQUARE FOOTAGE FOR THIS SCHOOL USE.

AND THROUGH THE DECLARATION OF RESTRICTIVE COVENANT, IT WILL BE RESTRICTED AND THAT IS WHERE THE NEXT SLIDE COMES IN.

IT WILL BE RESTRICTED SPECIFICALLY TO PUBLIC CHARTER SCHOOL USE. SO IT GETS RID OF THAT COMMERCIAL COMPONENT, I THINK THE PRIOR VERSION WENT FROM 10,210,000. FOR THE SCHOOL AT ONE POINT, NEVER PICKED UP THAT ADDITIONAL RESTRICTION TO ENSURE ITS PUBLIC CHARTER SCHOOL USE. AS I MENTIONED, ONE INTO, DIFFERENT APPLICATIONS BUT VERY SIMILARLY RELATED.

THE SPECIAL EXCEPTION, AGAIN, I THINK IT IS SEVEN CRITERIA IN THE CODE ABOUT COMPATIBILITY AND TRAFFIC AND ALL OF THOSE ELEMENTS ASSOCIATED WITH THAT NATURE OF USE THAT ISN'T NECESSARILY INCLUDED. THE EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION IS A SPECIAL EXCEPTION USE IN THE ZONING DISTRICT.

AND SO IT IS PART OF EVERYTHING THAT WE WORKED ON WITH THE CITY AND IN THE BACKUP AND THEN THE STAFF REPORTS IS A FAIRLY LENGTHY MULTIPAGE JUSTIFICATION THAT REALLY JUST KIND OF GOES THROUGH AND EXPLAINS THAT THIS IS WHAT THE USE WAS, WE ARE ALL BEASTLY ASKING TO INCREASE K-12. WE WILL TOUCH ON AND ADDRESS ALL OF THE CRITERIA WITH REGARDS TO COMPATIBILITY AND TRAFFIC IMPACTS AND WHATNOT AS PART OF THE APPLICATION.

SO AS I SAID FOR BREVITY MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE.

WITH MENTOR EACH ONE OF THEM INDIVIDUALLY.

IN THE FIRST THREE APPLICATIONS AND ALL OF THE APPLICATIONS THAT IS THERE IN THEIR VIEW AND AGREES THAT IT IS IN COMPLIANCE AND IS RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF ALL THE APPLICATIONS HERE.

I WILL DO A QUICK SUMMARY ON THIS SLIDE OF THE SITE PLAN AMENDMENT THAT WE ARE REQUESTING AND THEN WALK YOU THROUGH IT ON THE SUBSEQUENT FEW SLIDES OR GRAPHICALLY SO YOU CAN ALL SEE AND UNDERSTAND, REALLY, WHAT WE ARE PROPOSING TO IMPLEMENT AS PART OF THE HIGH SCHOOL IMPROVEMENTS.

SO WE ARE PROPOSING TO GO TO A TOTAL -- WE'RE AT ABOUT PLUS OR MINUS 60,000 SQUARE FEET, EVEN THOUGH WE APPROVED AT ABOUT 100 AND WE ARE PROPOSING TO GO TO JUST OVER 125,000 SQUARE FEET TOTAL. WE'VE BEEN ADDING 35 ADDITIONAL CLASSROOMS, BUILDING C WHICH WILL SEE IN A MOMENT HAS A CAFETERIA AND 14 CLASSROOMS, BUILDING D, WHICH SUBJECTIVELY, I THINK IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE BETTER LOOKING OF THE NEW BUILDINGS. YOU'LL SEE THAT MOMENTARILY.

WILL HAVE A NEW INTERIOR COURTYARD.

I KNOW THERE WILL BE SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT RECESS AND RECREATION AREAS AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE.

[00:30:03]

THAT WILL ALSO HAVE 15 CLASSROOMS. THE GYM IS CURRENTLY PLUS OR MINUS 14,000 SQUARE FEET, WE ARE PROPOSING A TWO-STORY GYMNASIUM. WILL HAVE I BELIEVE SIX CLASSROOMS AND THE TOTAL SIZE OF THE GYM WILL BE 20,000 SQUARE FEET AND OBVIOUSLY THAT IS WHERE A LOT OF RECREATION AMENITIES AND EXTRA CURRICULAR'S WILL TAKE PLACE AS WELL.

WE ARE ADDING 79 MORE PARKING SPACES.

THERE ARE 34 FOR STUDENTS. PUT A PIN IN THAT, I WILL TOUCH ON THAT IN MORE DETAIL IN JUST A MOMENT.

ADDITIONAL VEHICLE OR CIRCULATION ENHANCEMENTS WHICH ARE TRAFFIC ENGINEER WILL CHAT ABOUT IN A FEW MINUTES AS WELL.

AND THEN JUST SOME NOTES FROM THE STAFF REPORT COMPLIES WITH THE CODE, THE CRITERIA AND THE STAFF DOES RECOMMEND APPROVAL.

GETTING INTO THE MEAT OF THE PLAN, THIS IS A COLOR SITE PLAN, RENDERING OF WHAT THE FINAL BUILDOUT MIGHT LOOK LIKE.

SO WE SEE ON THE SCREEN BEFORE YOU NOW IS BASICALLY RIGHT NOW -- RIGHT NOW ONLY BUILDING A EXISTS.

BUILDING B IS KIND OF AN OUTDOOR PLAY AREA THAT IS PROPOSED TO BE ENCLOSED AS WELL. AND BUILDING C, D, WILL KIND OF CLOSE THAT AND CREEP -- KEEP THAT INTERNAL CAMPUS FEEL THAT PENCIL CASTER WAS TALKING ABOUT AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE THE GYMNASIUM. AND EVERYTHING THAT YOU SEE, ALL THESE PHOTOS THAT ARE POPPING UP, THESE ARE ARTIST RENDERINGS OF WHAT THE PROPOSED INTERIOR MAY LOOK LIKE.

IN SOME CASES WE HAVE INTERIOR SHOTS AND OTHER CASES WE HAVE EXTERIOR SHOTS. AS I MENTIONED THERE WILL BE A CAFETERIA AND 14 CLASSROOMS IN THIS BUILDING.

THIS IS THE FIRST BUILDING WE ARE PROPOSING TO BUILD, WE CAN TALK ABOUT THAT A BIT MORE AS WELL.

WE HAVE A SCHEDULE THAT YOU WILL SEE IN THE TRAFFIC ENGINEER WILL TALK ABOUT IT AND THEN THE CONSTRUCTION TEAM WILL TALK ABOUT THE OTHER SCHEDULE. BUILDING D, YOU CAN SEE IT DOWN ON THE BOTTOM LEFT. AGAIN, I THINK THE ARCHITECTURE FOR THESE NEW BUILDINGS IS REALLY TOP-NOTCH.

IN MY PERSONAL OPINION. THERE WILL BE COVERED PARKING IS PART OF THIS AND JUST GROUND-FLOOR BUT COVERED PARKING. 15 CLASSROOMS AND THEN WHAT YOU SEE, THOSE AWNINGS OR THE TENTS ARE SHADE MECHANISMS ON THE ROOF. WE HAVE A SLIGHT A LITTLE BIT LATER THAT I WILL SHOW YOU ABOUT THE ROOFTOP RECREATION AMENITIES INTENDED TO LOOK IN MORE DETAIL. THIS IS THE INTERIOR PLAY AREA THAT I HAD MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY. CURRENTLY THINK THERE IS SOME OUTDOOR ACTIVITY TAKING PLACE IN THIS GENERAL AREA.

MAYBE SOME OTHER AREAS BECAUSE THERE IS CURRENTLY SOME ADDITIONAL GREEN SPACE ON SITE. IT WAS APPROVED ALWAYS WITH THE GYMNASIUM WOULD GO. SO WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE PROVIDING SOME MORE OPPORTUNITY AND REMEMBER, K-12.

THERE HAS GOT TO BE OPPORTUNITY IN PLACES FOR EVERYONE TO GATHER, RECREATE AND LET OFF SOME STEAM IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY. THE GYM BUILDING THERE CURRENTLY, IF YOU LOOK AT AN AERIAL, THERE IS A PATCH OF OPEN SPACE AND GREEN SPACE UP IN THAT AREA.

AND THE INTERIOR OF THE GYM WHICH ALSO HAS CLASSROOMS IN IT.

AND JUST A FEW OTHER SITE AMENITIES.

A COUPLE BIKE RACKS THAT ARE BEING PROPOSED, THERE IS A JERSEY BARRIER, DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAVE BEEN OUT THERE, WE TALKED ABOUT BARBECUE AND STACKING, OR ENGINEER WITH PACO LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT HOW IT WORKS OPERATIONALLY.

IT IS BEING REMOVED AND WILL ACTUALLY HAVE A DOUBLE STACK OF CARS THAT COMES THROUGH. AND AGAIN, THERE'S A WHOLE GAME PLAN OPERATION AS TO HOW THAT WORKS.

ONE CAR COMING AND MOVING AS KIDS ARE WALKING IN BETWEEN PERIODS ARE TRAFFIC ENGINEER WILL EXPLAIN THAT IN MORE DETAIL. BUT IT ALLOWS FOR A MORE EFFICIENT FLOW OF TRAFFIC AS WE ARE DROPPING OFF AND PICKING UP STUDENTS. SO THERE IS SOME ADDITIONAL PARKING IS A MENTION, I THINK IT IS 79 TOTAL ADDITIONAL PARKING SPACES. THERE ARE STATE REQUIREMENTS FOR EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES AS THE PARKING REQUIREMENTS THAT WE ARE GOVERNED BY. AND SO I BELIEVE OUR REQUIREMENT IS 31 STUDENTS FOR 11TH AND 12TH GRADE BASED ON HOW THIS ALL WORKS. WE ARE PROVIDING 34 SPACES.

I'M SURE WE WILL HAVE SOME DISCUSSION ON THIS, IT HAS ALREADY COME UP IN DISCUSSIONS WITH STAFF.

PARKING ON CAMPUS IS A PRIVILEGE, IT IS NOT A RIGHT.

THERE ARE ONLY SO MANY PLACES TO PARK ON CAMPUS.

SO WE ARE MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS AS NECESSARY IN

[00:35:03]

SO WE'RE HAPPY TO DISCUSS IT. WE WILL ENSURE WE ARE INCREDIBLY PROACTIVE. BUT WE HAVE ALREADY GOTTEN THE QUESTIONS AND I'M SURE SOME OF YOU LOOKED AT THE BACK AND SAID 34 PARKING SPACES FOR 11TH AND 12TH GRADERS, WE JUST WANTED TO HIT IT HEAD ON. I WILL NOT PRESUME WHAT YOUR QUESTIONS ARE SO I BELIEVE THAT THAT FOR NOW AND WILL BE PREPARED TO ANSWER THEM AS WE GET LATER INTO THE EVENING.

SOME ADDITIONAL PARKING -- THIS IS MORE VISITOR PARKING.

THERE IS ALSO A BUS LOOP HERE, ALTHOUGH THERE IS NO BUS SERVICE FOR STUDENTS FOR THIS SCHOOL, OTHER THAN FOR EXTRACURRICULARS.

THERE IS NO AM, P.M., RIDE AND DISMISS BUS SERVICE THAT IS OFFERED BY THE SCHOOL. THAT THERE IS A NEED FOR A BUS LOOP GIVEN ACTIVITIES, ATHLETICS, THINGS OF THAT NATURE. SO I THINK PRINCIPAL CASTRO TUCKED ON THIS BRIEFLY, BUT I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT.

THE MANNER IN WHICH THIS WAS DESIGNED TO ENSURE THAT THERE IS COHESIVENESS ON CAMPUS. YOU HAVE K-12 ON THE SAME PROPERTY BUT THAT WE ARE STILL TAKING THE NECESSARY PRECAUTIONS WITH REGARD TO DIFFERENT CAFETERIAS, DIFFERENT TIMES OF DAY THAT PEOPLE ARE USING THINGS.

AS YOU WILL SEE, THE ELEVATOR RECREATION IS FOR THE UPPER SCHOOL STUDENTS, PRIMARILY HIGH SCHOOL WHERE THE COURTYARD RECREATION THAT WE IDENTIFY, THEY DON'T NEED TO, THEY'RE NOT AS BIG DON'T NEED AS MUCH ROOM. YOU WILL SEE THE RAISED PLATFORM ON THE LEFT, THE INTERIOR COURTYARD ON THE RIGHT.

AGAIN, ARTIST RENDERINGS OF WHAT THIS IS ALL INTENDED TO LOOK LIKE AND WERE HAPPY TO SPEND A BIT MORE TIME DISCUSSING OPERATIONALLY HOW THAT ALL WORKS IF THERE ARE QUESTIONS LATER.

ALSO IMPORTANTLY, WITH REGARD TO EXTRACURRICULARS, ATHLETICS, THINGS OF THAT NATURE, THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN ON CAMPUS.

THERE ARE LEASES AND OTHER AGREEMENTS IN PLACE, I BELIEVE THAT THE CITY OF PARKLAND AS WELL AS OTHERS TO PROVIDE THE APPROPRIATE LOCATIONS AND SPACE TO ENSURE THAT ATHLETICS CAN OCCUR. THERE'S ALSO A LOT OF AWAY GAMES THAT OCCUR WITH THE ATHLETIC PROGRAM THAT THE SCHOOL DOES HAVE. AND THE SCHOOL CAN SPEAK TO THAT IN MORE DETAIL IF THERE ANY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS.

SO I THINK THE RAMP-UP SCHEDULE IS ALSO IMPORTANT.

THIS IS NOT INTENDED -- IF THIS GETS APPROVED AND WE GO OUT, WE ARE BUILDING FOR A PERIOD OF TIME.

THE IDEA HERE IS THAT THE GRADES WILL START TO SLOWLY GO UP AND SO WE WILL HAVE A NINTH GRADE CLASS A TENTH GRADE CLASS IN 11TH GRADE CLASSMATES HEALTH GRADE CLASS AND A GRADUATING CLASS AT WHICH POINT THE SCHOOL WILL BE FULL.

THE ESTIMATED SCHEDULE BASED ON THE MEETINGS AND DISCUSSIONS WE HAVE BEEN HAVING WITH STAFF IS WHAT IS BEFORE YOU TODAY.

ULTIMATELY, THE GOAL ONCE WE GET TO CAPACITY, IS THAT THERE WILL NOT BE MORE THAN 2100 STUDENTS AT ANY GIVEN TIME.

BUT THAT THE SCHOOL HAS THE FLEXIBILITY IF THERE ARE TEN MORE KIDS IN THIS GREAT AND TEN FEWER KIDS IN THIS GREAT, IT WILL NOT BE THOSE EXACT NUMBERS. IT WILL ENSURE THAT THERE ARE NOT EVER ANY MORE THAN 2100 STUDENTS IN THE SCHOOL AT ANY GIVEN TIME. THAT IS WHAT THE ANALYSES WERE BASED OFF OF. I THINK MY TIME IS UP FOR THE

MOMENT. >> THANK YOU, GOOD EVENING.

FOR THE RECORD, BRIAN KELLY, VICE PRESIDENT AND TRAFFIC ENGINEER. NOW TO THE FUN STUFF, WE CAN DISCUSS TRAFFIC, WHICH I THINK IS PROBABLY -- IT IS ONE OF THE BIG TOPICS. AND CERTAINLY ON THE SCHOOL IT WAS A HUGE CONCERN AND HUGE TOPIC BACK IN 2018-2019 AND I'M SURE IT STILL IS THIS EVENING. I WANT TO ADDRESS A NUMBER OF ISSUES AND GO STEP-BY-STEP AND I WILL KIND OF WALK YOU THROUGH THE TRAFFIC STUDY AND OUR OPERATIONAL PLAN.

THE FIRST THING THAT I WANT TO MAKE MENTION OF, THIS IS NOT JUST MYSELF OR THE APPLICANTS TRAFFIC ENGINEER COMING IN, PRODUCING A TRAFFIC STUDY AND SAYING THIS IS WHAT IT IS GOING TO BE. BUT IT IS WORTH REITERATING, THE OPERATIONAL PLAN, THE SITE PLAN, ALL OF THIS IS THOROUGHLY VETTED AND REVIEWED BY STAFF AND YOUR OWN TRAFFIC CONSULTANT.

YOU USE A THIRD-PARTY TRAFFIC CONSULTANT THAT IS THOROUGHLY REVIEWED THIS, WE HAVE ADDRESSED COMMENTS, GONE BACK AND LOOKED AT THINGS TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYTHING WAS HANDLED SUFFICIENTLY. RIGHT NOW THERE IS 188 ON-SITE STACKING SPACES AND I WANT TO TAKE SOME TIME TO EXPLAIN THIS.

WE ARE INCREASING THAT THE 234 VEHICLES.

THERE'S ALWAYS A CONCERN FOR SCHOOL TRAFFIC.

[00:40:03]

AWAY LIKE TO EXPLAIN THIS IS THAT MOST OF THE TIME, IT IS NOT ACTUALLY A SCHOOL TRAFFIC THAT IS AN ISSUE.

WHAT HAPPENS IS MOST SCHOOLS ARE NOT DESIGNED WITH SUFFICIENT STACKING ABILITY ON-SITE INTERNALLY.

I HAVE THREE KIDS, I'VE BEEN DROPPING KIDS OFF SCHOOLS AND MY DAUGHTER IS 18 SO THAT TELLS YOU HOW LONG AT THIS POINT I HAVE BEEN DROPPING KIDS OFF AT SCHOO.

AND THE SCHOOLS THEY GO TO HAVE ABOUT 30-40 SPACES OF STACKING ON-SITE. AND EVERYONE COMES AT ONE PARTICULAR TIME. EITHER 800 STUDENTS OR 1500 STUDENTS. HOW MANY THAT IS.

AND WHAT HAPPENS IS THE CUE ON-SITE IS NOT SUFFICIENT AND IT SPILLS OUT ONTO THE ROADWAY NETWORK.

AND THAT'S WHERE IT CREATES ISSUES BECAUSE NOW WITH BLOCKING THROUGH LANES AND EVERYTHING ELSE.

SO WHEN WE HAVE ACTUALLY DESIGNED THIS BACK IN 2018, WE WENT THROUGH GREAT LENGTHS TO ENSURE THAT THERE IS SUFFICIENT STACKING. SO THAT IS 188 OUT THERE TODAY.

BUT NOT JUST 188 VEHICLE STACKING AS SCOTT HAD MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY, WE HAVE STAGGERED TIMES.

SO THE STAGGERED TIMES IS DONE PRIMARILY TO KIND OF REDUCE THAT PEAK IMPACT. SO THAT PEAK 15 MINUTES, NOT ALL CARS ARE THERE AT ONE TIME WHICH DOES POTENTIALLY CREATE TRAFFIC ISSUES AND STACKING. SO WE DISPERSE THAT IMPACT OVER A LONG PERIOD OF TIME TO ALLOW FOR THE SCHOOL TO BE ABLE TO CIRCULATE AND PROCESS VEHICLES IN A BETTER MANNER.

SO AS PART OF THIS APPLICATION, I WILL WALK THROUGH THAT.

WE'RE INCREASING FROM 188 VEHICLES UP TO 234 VEHICLES WHICH IS FAR MORE THAN ANY OTHER PARKLAND SCHOOLS, AS FAR MORE THAN MOST SCHOOLS I'M AWARE OF. THE DROP-OFF AND PICKUP AREA IS INCREASING FROM 16 VEHICLES TO 32 VEHICLES TO INCREASE OUR PROCESSING TIME AND TO REDUCE CUEING.

GOING BACK AND LOOKING AT IF THERE WERE ITEMS ANY ORIGINAL DESIGN THAT I THINK SHOULD HAVE BEEN CHANGE, IT IS THAT JERSEY BARRIER. SO RIGHT NOW WHEN YOU GO TO THE PICKUP AND DROP-OFF LINE, THERE IS ONE LANE OF TRAFFIC AND THERE'S A CONCRETE MEDIAN. WHAT HAS HAPPENED IS THAT SOMETIMES WHEN A KID TAKES A LITTLE BIT LONGER TO GET OUT, THERE MAY BE THREE OR FOUR VEHICLES BEHIND THAT PARTICULAR VEHICLE THAT YOU KNOW WHAT, THEY ARE READY TO GO.

BUT THERE'S NOT REALLY ENOUGH ROOM FOR THEM TO BYPASS.

AND WHAT THAT HAS CAUSED IS A LITTLE BIT OF A DELAY IN THE PROCESS OF THE VEHICLES. IT STILL WORKS FINE, HOWEVER IT COULD BE IMPROVED. SO WE WILL REMOVE THAT BARRIER AND BY DOING THAT WE CAN DOUBLE OUR STACKING CAPACITY THERE.

THE WHOLE IDEA WHAT THIS IS THAT IT WILL PROVIDE FLEXIBILITY, WHETHER IT IS A SECOND BYPASS LANE OR SECOND PICKUP LANE.

YOU WILL BE ABLE TO MOVE VEHICLES MUCH QUICKER, WHICH HELPS WITH THE VEHICLE Q. SO THE ITEMS HERE, NUMBER 1 WE INCREASE VEHICLE STACKING, NUMBER 2 WE ARE IMPROVING THE PROCESSING RATE THAT VEHICLES CAN GET IN AND OUT OF THE SCHOOL BY DOING THAT. AND THEN THE THIRD ONE IS WE ARE ACTUALLY STAGGERING THE TIMES MORE AND I WILL GET TO THAT IN A MINUTE. AND WILL GO IN THE NEXT FEW BULLET POINTS. SCHOOL HAS BEEN MONITORING TRAFFIC AND HAS MADE ADJUSTMENTS WHEN NECESSARY.

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS I'M HAPPY TO GO OVER THEM THEY HAVE DONE IN THE PAST. AND IT'S NOT JUST NECESSARILY OURSELVES COMING AGAINST, THE SCHOOL OBVIOUSLY LOOKS AT IT AS WELL AND MAKES ADJUSTMENTS. IN THE SCHOOL AND ANNUAL MONITORING WHICH WAS A BIG PART OF THE ORIGINAL APPROVAL, WE WILL CONTINUE WITH THAT. WE'RE ACTUALLY GOING OUT THERE AND STILL CONTINUING TO LOOK AT IT, YOU OPERATIONS AND DO TRAFFIC STUDIES TO MAKE CHANGES AS NECESSARY.

SO AS PART OF THIS WE ARE NOW GOING TO A FOURTH.

SO WE'RE DOING THAT ONCE AGAIN TO DISPERSE THAT PEAK IMPACT, INCREASING STUDENTS SO WE ARE DOING THREE MAJOR THINGS TO REDUCE CUEING ON THE SCHOOL, INCREASING THE AMOUNT OF CUEING, INCREASING THE PROCESSING RATE AND ACTUALLY ADDING ADDITIONAL STAGGER TIME. ALL THREE OF THESE ARE TRYING TO MITIGATE OUR TRAFFIC IMPACT. THE NEXT BIG ONE WE'RE DOING IS A PROPOSED ROUNDABOUT AT THE INTERSECTION OF HILLSBORO AND UNIVERSITY DRIVE. SO I WILL SPEND A COUPLE MINUTES TALKING ABOUT THIS BECAUSE I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT.

WE ALWAYS ENVISIONED THAT THERE WOULD PROBABLY BE TRAFFIC SIGNAL THAT WOULD PROBABLY BE PART OF THE ORIGINAL APPROVAL.

UNFORTUNATELY BROWARD COUNTY HAS STRICT REQUIREMENTS ON SINGLE WARRANTS. YOU ACTUALLY HAVE TO MEET THE WARRANT CRITERIA FOR EIGHT DIFFERENT HOURS OF THE DAY FOR BOTH UNIVERSITY DRIVE AND HILLSBORO BOULEVARD.

EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE BEEN REVIEWING THE COUNTS AND EVERYTHING ELSE, THEY HAVE JUST NEVER MET THAT CRITERIA TO HAVE A TRAFFIC SIGNAL. WE HAVE BEEN CORRELATING DURING THIS PROCESS WITH BOTH THE CITY AND ALSO BROWARD COUNTY AND THEY HAVE APPROVED THE ROUNDABOUT. WE'RE STILL GOING BACK AND FORTH ON WHAT THAT EXACT DESIGN LOOKS LIKE.

BUT THEY ARE GOOD WITH THE CONCEPT.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO MEET THE SAME WARRANTS THAT YOU DO FOR A TRAFFIC SIGNAL FOR A ROUNDABOUT. THERE IS REASONS FOR THAT.

THE BOTTOM LINE IS ROUNDABOUT DON'T NECESSARILY HAVE THE SAME NEGATIVES ASSOCIATED WITH THEM THAT SINGLES DO AND THAT'S WHY YOU DON'T HAVE THE MORE COMPLICATED WARRANT CRITERIA FOR IT. SOME OF THE BENEFITS, AND YOU

[00:45:02]

ACCIDENTS ARE REDUCE THEIR AND THE AMOUNT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCIDENTS THAT OCCUR -- MAJOR INJURIES AND FATALITIES ARE GREATLY REDUCED WITH THE ROUNDABOUT VERSUS TRAFFIC SIGNAL. SO IT'S NOT TO SAY IT TRAFFIC SIGNAL COULDN'T WORK HERE, IT COULD IF WE EVER GOT THE WARRANT, IT WOULD WORK FINE. HOWEVER I BELIEVE THE ROUNDABOUT IS BETTER AND I BELIEVE THE CITY BELIEVES THAT AS WELL.

WHICH LOOKED AT THE PEAK HOUR ANALYSIS OF THIS AND THE AVERAGE DELAY AT THAT INTERSECTION IS ACTUALLY HALF FOR A ROUNDABOUT VERSUS WHAT IT WOULD BE FOR A TRAFFIC SIGNAL.

YOU HAVE DOUBLED THE DELAY FOR A TRAFFIC SIGNAL.

AND THAT IS DURING PEAK HOURS. BUT ALSO WANT TO MENTION WHAT IS NOT TALK ABOUT WHEN SCHOOLS OPEN, LET'S CALL IT THE SCHOOL OPERATING HOURS. 12:00 ON A WEDNESDAY OR SATURDAY, IF IT IS A TRAFFIC SIGNAL, YOU PULL UP THERE AND YOU GET A RED LIGHT. HE MAY BE WAITING 30 OR 45 SECONDS. WITH A ROUNDABOUT YOU WILL BE GETTING THROUGH THERE IN A FEW SECONDS.

SO BOTH FOR THE SCHOOL AND EVEN WHEN THE SCHOOL IS NOT OPERATING, WE BELIEVE THE ROUNDABOUT IS A BETTER SOLUTION.

WE'RE VERY HAPPY THAT BROWARD COUNTY APPROVED THIS AND WE ARE HAPPY THAT THIS IMPROVEMENT WILL GET DONE BECAUSE IT IS A MUCH-NEEDED IMPROVEMENT AT THIS INTERSECTION AND ALWAYS STOP IS JUST NOT A VERY GOOD OPERATIONAL TRAFFIC CONFIGURATION. A TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT OFFICER AND CROSSING GUARDS BACK IF YOU TRIED BY THE SCHOOL YOU KNOW THEY ARE OUT THERE. THEY WILL CONTINUE AS PART OF THIS PLAN. THE SCHOOL ZONE THAT IS OUT THERE, THAT WILL REMAIN AND WE DO MEET ALL APPLICABLE LEVELS OF SERVICE AND TRAFFIC REQUIREMENTS.

HERE IS WHAT WE'RE CALLING -- IT IS THE OPERATIONAL PLAN, THIS MAY BE A LOT TO SEE HERE. BUT LET ME KIND OF GO OVER BRIEFLY AND I WILL ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE AFTERWARDS. BUT IN BLUE IS THE PEDESTRIAN PATH, THIS IS THE SAME AS IT IS, WE ARE WORKING WITH THE COUNTY ON WHAT ULTIMATELY THE PEDESTRIAN CROSSING WILL BE, WHETHER IT IS AT THE ROUNDABOUT OR WHETHER WE DO ADJUST TO THE WEST. THAT WILL BE ACCOMPANIED BY SOME KIND OF PEDESTRIAN FLASHERS. WE'RE WORKING WITH THE CITY ON WHAT THAT IS. BUT GOING INTO THE SITE, IT IS REALLY THE SAME AS IT IS TODAY. HE WILL COME IN FROM THE BOULEVARD, WE HAVE TWO VERY LARGE LANES AND WE'LL GET TO STACKING CAPACITY IN A MINUTE AND YOU WOULD CIRCULATE ALL THE WAY AROUND THE SCHOOL, WHICH IS GREEN.

WE HAVE EXTENDED THE STACKING DISTANCE AS I TALK ABOUT A MINUTE AGO, FROM 188 UP TO 2:30 FOUR.

YOU COULD LOOP ALL THE WAY AROUND AND THEN COME BACK TO THE ENTRANCE OF THE SCHOOL WITH THE PICKUP AND DROP-OFF IS AND THEN YOU EXIT, CIRCLE BACK AROUND TO HILLSBORO.

THERE WILL BE POLICE OFFICERS OUT THERE TO ASSIST WITH TRAFFIC CIRCULATION AND HELP WITH GETTING IN AND OUT OF HILLSBORO AND THERE IS ALSO EXISTING TODAY, AND OF COURSE CONTINUING TO BE CROSSING GUARDS THERE. THE ONE THING THAT I DO WANT TO POINT TO AS WELL ON THIS SLIDE IS THE ORANGE LINES.

AND I'M COLOR BLIND SO THEY SPEAK INCORRECTLY ON THE COLOR, I APOLOGIZE. IT IS NOT LOST ON ME, THE IRONY OF A TRAFFIC ENGINEER BEING COLOUR-BLIND.

>> YOU DIDN'T PREPARE THE SLIDE, DID YOU?

>> THERE ARE SOME ORANGE ARROWS POINTING TO THE WEST IN THE PARKING LOT. SO WE ACTUALLY HAVE THIS IS A CONFIGURATION WITH THE EXISTING PLAN, WE JUST NEVER NEEDED IT.

AND WE WILL NOT NEEDED FOR THIS PLAN BUT I WANTED TO PRESENT IT AS AN OPTION. IF CUEING WAS EVER AN ISSUE IN 2-UNDER 34 STACKING SPACES WERE NOT SUFFICIENT, WHICH IT WILL BE, BUT IF IT WASN'T, WE COULD EVEN STACK PEOPLE IN THOSE LANES, WE COULD CREATE ADDITIONAL STACKING CAPACITY.

I THINK YOU GET ABOUT AN EXTRA 61 OR 62 VEHICLES.

YOU COULD THEORETICALLY PUT THEM THERE AS AN OVERFLOW, SPILLOVER TYPE CONCEPT. I WANTED TO POINT OUT THAT THERE IS A SUSPENDERS TYPE OF MEASURE HERE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DON'T HAVE ISSUES. GOING THROUGH THAT STACKING CAPACITY, GOING THROUGH ALL OF THIS AS I MENTIONED NUMEROUS TIMES NOW, I APOLOGIZE, 234, THAT IS HER STACKING THAT WE HAVE, USING BOTH LANES. THE ADDITIONAL AISLES THAT I JUST TALKED ABOUT WERE IN THE ORANGE, 61 VEHICLES THAT WE CAN GET THERE OR EGRESS LINE WHICH IS WHEN YOU LEAVE THE SCHOOL AND DO LOOP-BACK AROUND OVER TO THE ENTRANCE ON HILLSBORO, IT IS 62 VEHICLES, YOU CAN ACTUALLY FIT ON THAT.

AND THEN THE TURN LANES WE EXTEND IT REBUILT THEM ORIGINALLY AS PART OF THE SCHOOL.

WE MADE THEM AS LARGE AS POSSIBLE TO MAKE SURE THERE WASN'T GOING TO BE ANY ISSUES. YOU CAN GET 20 FROM THE LEFT TURN LANE IN THE RIGHT TURN LANE BUT YOU HAVE ABOUT 18 VEHICLES THERE PERIODS YOU CAN SEE THE TOTAL THERE IS 395 VEHICLES THAT WE CAN ACCOMMODATE ON SIDE OR IN TURN LANES THAT ARE NOT ON THE THROUGH LANES OF HILLSBORO OR UNIVERSITY.

THIS IS A VERY, A VERY LARGE NUMBER AND THIS WAS DONE ON PURPOSE TO MAKE SURE THERE WASN'T GOING TO BE ANY ISSUES AND TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CAN HANDLE THE TRAFFIC DEMAND.

[00:50:04]

NOTHING IS EVER PERFECT ACTOR HAS BEEN ADJUSTMENTS AS NEEDED BUT IT HAS WORKED VERY WELL. WHAT IS INTERESTING IS ACTUALLY LOOKED AT A TRAFFIC STUDY AS I WAS PREPARING THIS THAT I DID A NUMBER OF YEARS AGO AND AT THE TIME WE PROJECTED TRAFFIC OUT TO 2019, INCLUDING OUR SCHOOL TRAFFIC AND AT THE TIME, NOT ALL OF THE RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT WAS BUILT AT THAT TIME.

SO WE WERE ADDING TRIPS FOR THOSE.

WENT TO DENTAL HE, ARE 2025 TRAFFIC WHICH WAS THE ACCOUNTS WE COLLECTED ALL DURING PEAK SEASON, WAS LESS, 17% LESS THEN A PEAK HOUR AND 11% LESS THAN THE P.M. PEAK HOUR IN THE 2019 PROJECTIONS WE ACTUALLY MADE. SO THE POINT I'M MAKING HERE IS THAT TRAFFIC VOLUMES NEVER ACTUALLY MATERIALIZE TO THE EXTENT THAT EVEN WE PROJECTED. AND WHY THE DIFFERENCE ON THAT? THERE'S A COUPLE REASONS WHY. TRAFFIC STUDIES BY NATURE TEND TO BE A LITTLE BIT CONSERVATIVE. I CAN GO INTO THAT IN MORE DETAIL. BUT ONE OF THE BIG REASONS TO THAT WE DO A TRAFFIC STUDY FOR THE SCHOOL, YOU DON'T ACCOUNT FOR WHAT YOU CALL PASS BY. AND WHAT PASS BY IS, I WILL GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE. IF I'M ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK AND I STOPPED AT PUBLIX ON THE WAY HOME, THAT IS A TRIP INTO THE PUBLIX BUT I'M ALREADY ON THAT ROAD.

I'M NOT CREATING A NEW TRIP ON THE ROAD.

SO IF I'M ON HILLSBORO AND I'M LEAVING MY HOUSE AND I'M GOING TO WORK AND I DROP MY KIDS OFF, THAT IS WHAT I DID FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS. IT IS ACTUALLY WHAT WE CALL A PASS BY TRIP. MEANING WE ARE NOT ADDING ADDITIONAL TRIPS TO THE ROAD FOR THAT PERSON OR THAT DROP-OFF, THEY ARE JUST TURNING IN AND TURNING OUT.

SO THAT TRAFFIC IS ALREADY ACCOUNTED FOR.

NOW GRANTED, NOT ALL TRAFFIC IS PASSED BY, I REALIZE THAT.

WE ASSUME 0%. SO THE REALITY IS THE TRAFFIC ISSUES TEND TO BE A LITTLE BETTER THAN WHAT WE PROJECT THESE HE HAVE ASSUMPTIONS LIKE THAT IS PART OF THE TRAFFIC STUDY. I'M SURE YOU HAVE QUESTIONS NOW BE HAPPY TO ANSWER THEM AS WE GET TO THAT.

BUT I THINK WE HAVE SOMEONE SPEAKING ON THE CONSTRUCTION

STAGING. >> GOOD EVENING.

WE ARE THE ARCHITECTS ON THIS PROJECT.

I WILL BE SPEAKING WITH YOU IN REGARDS TO CONSTRUCTION STAGING.

WITH MEALS WAS ROLANDO, HE WILL BE ABLE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS IN REGARDS TO DESIGN LATER ON IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.

BEFORE GET INTO THE ACTUAL STAGING DRAWINGS, I JUST WANTED TO QUICKLY STATE THAT WE UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS ALWAYS QUESTIONS OF ACTIVE CONSTRUCTION HAPPENING WILL THERE IS A SCHOOL THAT IS ACTIVELY IN SESSION. BUT THE ENTIRE CONSTRUCTION TEAM, WE DO THIS EVERY DAY, WE HAVE MULTIPLE PROJECTS THROUGHOUT THE STATE. WHERE WE HAVE CAMPUSES THAT HAVE SCHOOL GOING ON WITH BUILDINGS BEING BUILT.

SO THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE ARE VERY FAMILIAR WITH, WE ARE VERY COMFORTABLE DOING AND WE BELIEVE THAT WE CAN ACHIEVE HERE WITH SUCCESS. SO WITH THAT, LET ME GET INTO STAGE ONE, PHASE ONE OF THE CONSTRUCTION.

SO PHASE ONE WILL INCLUDE ESSENTIALLY BUILDING C WHICH IS A CLASSROOM BUILDING WITH A LUNCH ROOM, WHICH YOU CAN SEE THERE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN.

WHAT IS HIGHLIGHTED IN YELLOW IS WHAT WE ARE CALLING OUR CONSTRUCTION STAGING AREA. YOU CAN SEE THE FENCING THAT WE ARE PROPOSING AND THE AERIAL IMAGE YOU SEE IN THE BACKGROUND IS THE CURRENT STATE OF THE SITE.

SO YOU CAN SEE THE CURRENT LAYOUT OF THE PARKING.

AND HOW WE'RE GOING TO BE IMPACTING THAT.

SO CURRENTLY THE SCHOOL OPERATES THEIR DROP-OFF AND THEIR PICK UP ALONG THE SOUTH OFF OF HILLSBORO.

SO THIS ACTUALLY WORKS AS A BENEFIT TO US THAT WE WILL BE ABLE TO USE THE NORTH ENTRANCE ON UNIVERSITY DRIVE IN ORDER TO HANDLE CONSTRUCTION ENTRANCE AND EXIT SO WE WILL BE ABLE TO HANDLE CONSTRUCTION DELIVERIES AS CONSTRUCTION WORKERS COME IN AND OUT AND KEEP THEM SEPARATE FROM ALL OF THE TRAFFIC FROM THE SCHOOLS TRAFFIC AND THE SCHOOL FACILITY.

AND YOU WILL NOTICE THAT THE AREA WHICH WE ARE CALLING CONSTRUCTION STAGING IS WHERE THERE CURRENTLY ARE 23 PARKING SPACES. SO WE WORK WITH STAFF TO FIGURE OUT AN ALTERNATIVE LOCATION FOR THE SPACES TO ENSURE THAT

[00:55:02]

SO WELL WE WILL BE LOSING THOSE 23 SPACES, WITH THE PROJECTED STUDENT COUNT DURING THIS PHASE, WE WILL BE SHORT ONE SPACE.

AND THAT IS WHY WE WILL BE PROVIDING, YOU SEE, ON THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF THE SITE AND BLUE WILL BE PROVIDING TEMPORARY SPACES ON STABILIZED SOIL FOR THE CODE TO HANDLE THE NECESSARY PARKING REQUIREMENTS DURING THIS TIME.

AND WE ARE ALSO PLANNING TO FENCE THAT AREA OFF TO TRY TO GIVE THE SCHOOL AS MUCH GREEN SPACE AS POSSIBLE.

WE KNOW THAT DURING CONSTRUCTION WE WILL BE LIMITING SIMILAR OUTDOOR AREAS SO WE WILL DO OUR BEST TO ENSURE THEY GET AS MUCH GREEN SPACE AS POSSIBLE TO CONTINUE OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES LIKE PE AND RECESS AND ANYTHING THAT THEY MIGHT NEED.

NOW ALONG WITH THAT, YOU WILL NOTICE IN BLUE, THAT IS THE CURRENT STACKING FOR MORNING DROP-OFF AND PICKUP.

AS YOU CAN SEE, THAT IS NOT GOING TO BE AFFECTED AT ALL BY CONSTRUCTION. SO THE EXISTING SCHOOLS STACKING AND CUEING WILL REMAIN THE SAME DURING CONSTRUCTION.

SO THERE WILL BE NO MIX, THERE WILL BE NO NEGATIVE IMPACT TOWARDS THAT STACKING. AND WE PLAN ON DOING THE REMOVAL THAT BRIAN MENTIONED TO YOU EARLIER.

EARLY ON BEFORE PHASE ONE. THAT WAY THE SCHOOL WILL HAVE THOSE DOUBLE LANES THAT IN THE EVENT OF WORST-CASE SCENARIO, THERE WAS A BACKUP THAT THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO USE THAT SECOND LANE EITHER AS A PASS-THROUGH OR IF NEEDED THEY COULD IMPLEMENT THE DOUBLE DROP-OFF AT ANY POINT OF ANY PHASE AND CONSTRUCTION.

SO THEN DURING PHASE TWO, THERE WILL OBVIOUSLY BE AN INCREASE IN STUDENT COUNT AND AN INCREASE IN REQUIRED PARKING.

NOW THAT THAT BUILDING WOULD HAVE BEEN BUILT.

DURING THAT PHASE WOULD HAVE BEEN IN BUILDING D WHICH IS THE CLASSROOMS ON THE SECOND FLOOR AND AN OCCUPYING ROOF ON THE ROOF. AND WE HAVE THE COVERED PARKING BELOW. SINCE WE WILL HAVE THAT INCREASE STUDENT CAPACITY, WE WOULD INCREASE THE TEMPERATURE SPACES THAT WE ARE PROVIDING ON THE PREVIOUS PHASE, WE WOULD ENLARGE THAT TO 18. AND THE REASON WE WOULD IMPLEMENT THAT IN THIS PHASE AND NOT DO IT AT ONCE LIKE I SAID BEFORE, IS TO TRY TO GIVE AS MUCH GREEN SPACE AS POSSIBLE TO MAINTAIN THEIR OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES.

THEN WE GET TO PHASE THREE WHICH IS THE LAST PHASE, IS THE GYM CONSTRUCTION. AT THIS POINT THERE IS NO TEMPORARY PARKING NECESSARY BECAUSE WE WOULD HAVE THE 38 SPACES PROVIDED BY THE PHASE TWO BUILDING.

SO WE WOULD BE ABLE TO HANDLE ALL NECESSARY PARKING WITHIN THE EXISTING LOTS AND THE NEW COVERED PARKING THAT WE'RE PROVIDING. AND TO HANDLE THE ENTIRE CAPACITY OF BUILDOUT, WE DO REQUIRE THE RECONFIGURATION OF THAT BACK LOT. SO WE PLAN ON DOING THAT AT THE TAIL END OF THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE GYM.

SO THAT OVER THE SUMMER, BEFORE THAT -- THE SCREEN CHANGED.

OVER THE SUMMER BEFORE THE OPENING OF THE GYMNASIUM, THAT IS WHEN WE WILL DO THE SITE CHANGE AS NECESSARY, WERE RECURRENTLY HAVE THE CONSTRUCTION STAGING TO ACCOMMODATE THE FULL PARKING THAT IS NECESSARY AT FULL BUILDUP. AND THAT IS IT.

>> ALMOST DONE, I PROMISE. JUST THREE SLIDES LEFT.

SAVING THE BEST FOR LAST. THAT'S KIND OF WHAT THE DESIGN OF THE BUILDINGS ARE GOING TO LOOK LIKE.

SO WHAT YOU SEE ON THE TOP OF THE SCREEN IS AS IF YOU WERE STANDING IN MIRALAGO, LOOKING TO THE SOUTH.

CC WHAT WOULD BE THE NORTH ELEVATION OF THE BUILDING, YOU SEE THE GYM ON THE RIGHT-HAND SIDE WITH THE ARCHITECTURAL FEATURE AND THEN THE PARKING LOT WHICH WE SHOWED ON THE SITE PLAN EARLIER. YOU CAN SEE THE SORT OF SHADE STRUCTURES ON THE ROOF OF THAT BUILDING.

ON THE BOTTOM SIDE OF THE SCREEN IS IN AERIAL RENDERING OF THE FULL CAMPUS. YOU CAN ALSO SEE IN THIS RENDERING, HOW THE ROUNDABOUT WILL COME INTO PLAY AS WERE APPROACHING NORTH AND SOUTH ON UNIVERSITY OR EAST ON HILLSBORO.

AND AGAIN, JUST THE INTERPLAY OF WHAT THE FINISHED PRODUCT OF THE

[01:00:01]

A COUPLE MORE ARTIST RENDERINGS FROM VARIOUS LOCATIONS ON THE PROPERTY. THE LAKE LOOKING TO THE SOUTHEAST, THAT IS THE GYM. I BELIEVE ON THE LEFT-HAND SIDE OF THE SCREEN -- I WAS LOOKING AT THIS EARLIER AND I HAD IT.

I CAN'T REM AWARE THAT IS. THE BOTTOM OF THE LEFT-HAND SIDE OF THE SCREEN IS IN THAT BUS LOOP AS IF YOU ARE LOOKING TO THE NORTH WITH BUILDING A ON YOUR RIGHT AND THE GYM STRAIGHT AHEAD. AND YOU CAN SEE THE ARCHITECTURAL FEATURE. AND ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT-HAND SIDE OF THE SCREEN YOU WERE ON THE NORTH SIDE OF BUILDING D, LOOKING TO THE WEST. AND AGAIN, YOU CAN SEE THE GYMNASIUM AT THE ARCHITECTURAL STRUCTURE THERE.

AND JUST TO, WE HAVE OBVIOUSLY SPENT A GOOD BIT OF TIME TRYING TO TALK THROUGH AND SUMMARIZE ALL OF THESE APPLICATIONS BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT TO DIGEST HERE.

WE ARE HAPPY TO TALK ABOUT ANY AND EVERYTHING, QUESTIONS AT THE BOARD MAY HAVE. AGAIN, STAFF OBVIOUSLY WILL DO A THOROUGH REVIEW OF THIS AS THEY ARE ALL HERE AND LOOKING FOR QUESTIONS AND HOPING FOR APPROVAL FOR THE APPLICATIONS AND THEY CAN ALL DO THE SAME. THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU. APPRECIATE IT, VERY NICE PRESENTATION. I'LL START WITH ALEX.

FOR ANY QUESTIONS. AND LET'S -- ANY QUESTIONS, OBVIOUSLY. FIRE AWAY.

I WAS THINKING OF MAKING YOU GO IN A CERTAIN ORDER BUT I

WOULDN'T EVEN DARE. >> I WILL SKIP TO THE GOOD PART.

GREAT PRESENTATION. BRIAN MAY BE THE BEST TRAFFIC PRESENTATION I HAVE EVER SEEN. SO KUDOS TO YOU.

[LAUGHTER] I BELIEVE TRAFFIC ALONE.

I LIKE THE PROGRAM THAT YOU HAD. MY TWO BIGGEST CONCERNS AND NO START WITH MY BIGGEST CONCERN, IS JUST K-12.

WE DIDN'T REALLY TALK ABOUT IT. I CAN GET BEHIND THE SITE PLAN BUT THE K-12 ALL-IN-ONE CAMPUS IS SUPER DENSELY PACKED.

JUST ADDS ANOTHER LAYER OF SAFETY, SECURITY TO THE SCHOOL ITSELF. YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT 18-YEAR-OLDS AND 6-YEAR-OLDS FIRST TIME ON CAMPUS.

SO THERE IS SO MANY LOGISTICS THAT NEED TO GO TO THAT SO THESE ARE KIDS' LIVES AND I KNOW THE PRINCE BLOWS DOING A GREAT JOB THERE BUT I'M REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE K-12.

I WOULD SAY MY OTHER THING I'M CONCERNED ABOUT FOR YOU SPEAK IS THE GREEN SPACE. I CAN GET BEHIND THIS AND SAY LET'S GO K-8, I'M GOOD WITH THE SITE PLAN AND THE TRAFFIC, I THINK WE NEED TO WORK ON SOME BETTER BREATHING SPACE AND SOME OTHER PLAY BUT HAVING A HARD TIME THING OF THIS IS A LETTER

K-12 SCHOOL. >> I WILL SPEAK ON THEIR BEHALF.

I SHE WAS AN ASSISTANT POSSIBLE AND VISE PRINCIPAL IN A K-12 SCHOOL. SO I COME WITH THE EXPERIENCE OF HOW IT FUNCTIONS, HOW YOU MAINTAIN THE CHILDREN SEPARATE.

EVEN IN THE RENDERINGS YOU WILL NOTICE THE BUILDING THAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE, THAT WOULD BE THE ELEMENTARY BUILDING.

RIGHT? YOU WOULD STATION MIDDLE SCHOOLERS, I CURRENTLY HAVE MIDDLE SCHOOLERS, THAT WOULD BE THE NEXT PHASE. HIGH SCHOOLERS WOULD MAINTAIN THEIR OWN SPACE IN THEIR OWN BUILDING.

THAT IS KIND OF WHY THE SETUP IS DONE THE WAY THAT IT IS.

IN ADDITION TO THAT, AND ALSO PROVIDES AN OPPORTUNITY, FOR EXAMPLE, TO HOST IN EARLY CHILDHOOD PROGRAM.

WHERE CHILDREN CAN MODIFY WITH A CDA PROGRAM JUST BECAUSE IT GIVES YOU AN OPPORTUNITY TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL PROGRAMMING THAT YOU WOULDN'T NECESSARILY HAVE IN DIFFERENT SCHOOLS.

I'M VERY FAMILIAR WITH IT. I KNOW IT SEEMS UNTRADITIONAL BECAUSE IT IS NOT SOMETHING THAT IS PRACTICED OFTEN BUT I HAVE SEEN SUCCESS IN IT. IT IS DIFFERENT WHEN YOU START BUILDING YOUR STUDENTS FROM KINDERGARTEN AND YOU SEE THEM GROW. YOU'VE ALREADY SETTING THE EXPECTATIONS OF WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE IN THE SAME ENVIRONMENT.

AND SO I HAVE SOME OF MY STUDENTS HERE TODAY, SOME OF THEM ARE PEER COUNSELORS AND IN MIDDLE SCHOOL THEY'RE ALREADY ENTERING THOSE ELEMENTARY CLASSROOMS AND WORKING WITH THE CHILDREN AND SUPPORTING AS WELL. BUT THINK A LOT OF IT HAS TO DO WITH THE ENVIRONMENT THAT YOU CREATE.

>> YOU ARE HERE TODAY, YOU'RE THE PRINCIPAL, GREAT, MAY BE THE PRINCE WILL FOREVER THERE, MAYBE NOT.

[01:05:03]

>> ABSOLUTELY. >> WE HAVE A HIGH SCHOOL THAT -- WE HAVE MSD RIGHT HERE SO WE ARE NEEDING TO GO THROUGH THE LOGISTICS OF WORKING WITH THE SCHOOLS, REPURCHASING BUILDINGS THEY ARE, THIS BILLING COMING IN LINE, IS ADDING ANOTHER LEVEL.

I JUST DON'T KNOW IF THE COMMUNITY NEEDS, RIGHT NOW, AND AT THAT LEVEL OF RISK TO YOUR EXISTING STUDENTS.

>> ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I CAN SHARE HIS RIGHT OFF FROM OUR VERY FIRST PROMOTION CEREMONY WHEN WE OPENED AND BE OPEN AS A LETTER K-6 AND GRADUALLY INCREASED, FROM THE FIRST YEAR WE HELD OUR CAN A GARDEN PROMOTION CEREMONY AND A FIFTH GRADE PROMOTION CEREMONY, OUR FAMILIES WERE THE ONES ASKING. I WILL NEVER FORGET AT THE VERY FIRST CEREMONY, THEM GOING UP TO THE PRESIDENT OF SOMERSET ACADEMY AND SAYING WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING AND WE NEED TO HAVE A HIGH SCHOOL. BECAUSE THERE'S ONLY 11 OPTION AT THE CURRENT MOMENT. AND SOME FAMILIES DO PREFER A SMALLER SCHOOL SETTING. I HAVE A STAFF MEMBER AND WE ACTUALLY HAD THIS CONVERSATION TODAY.

SHE HAS A 2-YEAR-OLD, AND ELEMENTARY CHILD, A MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENT AND -- MORE THAN THAT.

BUT WHENEVER CHILDREN IS ACTUALLY GRADUATING NOW IN EIGHTH GRADE AND SHE WILL BE GOING TO A DIFFERENT LOCATION.

AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT SHE SHARED WITH ME IS THAT IT WOULD BE AMAZING IF I WAS ABLE TO BRING ALL OF MY CHILDREN TO THE SAME SCHOOL AND HAVE EVERYBODY TOGETHER.

AS WELL AS SOME OTHER FAMILIES FEELING THAT SAME WAY.

THIS IS A SCHOOL OF CHOICE. SO PARENTS WOULD KNOW WHAT THEY WOULD BE SIGNING UP FOR. WE WOULD BE PRESENTING THAT.

AND IT MAY NOT BE FOR EVERYBODY. BUT I DO BELIEVE THAT THERE IS SUPPORT FROM OUR COMMUNITIES AND OUR STAFF THAT THEY TRULY

BELIEVE IN THAT VISION. >> I DIDN'T SEE -- WE JUST TALKED ABOUT, HOW ARE WE GOING TO HAVING A FIRST TIME KID THERE AND 18, 19-YEAR-OLD READY TO CHECK OUT?

>> IT IS ALL LOGISTICS. AND YOU HAVE TO PREPARE FOR IT.

IT ALL IS ABOUT WHERE YOU ASSIGNED PERSONNEL, FOR THE CLASSROOMS ARE ASSIGNED, WHERE THE INTERACTIONS WOULD POTENTIALLY BE. THERE SCHEDULING IS VERY DIFFERENT FROM THE MIDDLE SCHOOL HIGH SCHOOL SO THE START AND END TIMES ARE DIFFERENT. SO WHERE THERE WOULD BE CROSSINGS, THAT WOULDN'T EVEN TAKE PLACE.

THERE ARE DIFFERENT ENTRANCES SO THERE'S NOT REALLY AN

OPPORTUNITY TO COMINGLE. >> THOSE ARE THE THINGS I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE MAYBE SEE MORE OF TONIGHT.

I KNOW WE FOCUS A LOT ON THE PLAN AND TRAFFIC WAS A BIG ISSUE IN THE PAST, I'M JUST REALLY WORRIED ABOUT THE 12TH AND THE KINDERGARTEN. NOT REALLY -- THERE'S OTHER QUESTIONS TONIGHT, I LOVE EVERYTHING ELSE.

IT IS GREAT, IT WAS K-8, I THINK I CAN WORK THROUGH THE REST OF THE PLAN AND GET BEHIND THE WHOLE THING.

THAT IS WHAT I'M STUCK ON TONIGHT.

>> THANK YOU. I'M SORRY, I DIDN'T EVEN LOOK

UP. >> MY NAME IS JULIO, I'M THE CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER. GREAT QUESTION.

I CAN TELL YOU THAT BASED ON OUR DATA ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND ESPECIALLY IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA, 87,000 STUDENTS IN ANOTHER 50,000 PLUS ACROSS THE UNITED STATES, PARENTS NUMBER 1 CHOICE IN THE LAST TEN YEARS IS A K-12 SETTING.

IS WHAT THEY ARE ASKING FOR. AND AS THE PRINTABLE STATED, THEY HAVE THE CHOICE OF WHETHER THEY WANT TO COME OR NOT.

BUT THEIR PREFERENCE IS TO BE ABLE TO DETERMINE AND HAVE FROM THE TIME THEY ARE IN PRE-K, TO THE TIME THAT THEY LEAVE IN HIGH SCHOOL AND THE HIGH SCHOOL PROGRAM IS REALLY A K-14 MODEL IS IT RUNS THE DUAL ENROLLMENT OPTIONS THROUGH COLLEGE CREDITS ALREADY. SO IT IS A COMPLETE RUNWAY FOR THEM. SO THEY WOULD PREFER IS THE SAME PRINCIPLE THAT WELCOMED THEIR SON OR DAUGHTER WHEN THEY WERE IN PRE-K IS THE SAME PRINCIPLE THAT IS GOING TO SHAKE THEIR HANDS WHEN THEY ARE WALKING ACROSS THE STAGE AS GRADUATES.

BUT OUR DATA IS VERY SPECIFIC. AND SHE MENTIONED SOMETHING A LOT OF TIMES THE PRINCIPLES ARE USED TO THE JARGON.

THEY MENTIONED THE CLOSENESS AND THE BOUTIQUE STYLE SCHOOL AT A EVERY PARENT BUT HAVING THAT CHOICE AND THE DIRECTION THEY WANT TO TAKE WITH THEIR FAMILIES AND HAPPY TO SEND APPEAR, EIGHT

[01:10:05]

I CAN TELL YOU THAT THE SAME DEDICATION, THE SAME FOCUS ON WHAT WE ARE OFFERING IS SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE ALREADY PROVEN IN MANY OTHER LOCATIONS. AND THAT QUITE HONESTLY, IS WHAT IS GROWING THROUGHOUT OUR ENTIRE PORTFOLIO.

SO A GREAT QUESTION, AND I APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY AND ANY OTHER QUESTIONS THAT I MAY HELP.

SHE WILL DO A BETTER JOB THAN I WILL BUT IF I CAN HELP, I WILL

BE HERE. >> THANK YOU ALEX.

>> I'M NOT EXACTLY SURE WHO SOME OF MY QUESTIONS SHOULD BE GIVEN TO PUT IT IN THE INTEREST OF TRANSPARENCY, I RESIDE IN MIRALAGO. SO MY COMMUNITY IS OBVIOUSLY DIRECTLY IMPACTED BY THIS THE SAME WAY IT WAS IMPACTED ALL THOSE YEARS AGO WHEN THE SCHOOLS FIRST CONSTRUCTED.

AND I WOULD TELL YOU I WAS NOT SERVING ON THIS BOARD BUT I WAS SITTING HERE IN THE AUDIENCE WHEN THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY, IF YOU RECALL, SHOWED UP HERE AND EXPRESSED SIGNIFICANT CONCERNS, PARTICULARLY ABOUT THE TRAFFIC. SO I KIND OF FEEL LIKE THIS IS A LITTLE BIT OF DEJA VU. PROBABLY FOR ME, BELIEVE IT OR NOT, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT REALLY SURPRISED ME A LITTLE BIT, IS THAT I HAPPENED TO SEE ON A SLIDE THAT RIGHT NOW, CURRENTLY, YOUR CLASS BEGAN, IF I READ CORRECTLY, AT 8:15 IN THE MORNING. IS THERE ANYONE WHO STARTS EARLIER THAN 8:15? AND IS THAT BEFORE CARE CONTINUING ON? IT BEGINS 7:00 A.M., OKAY.

>> PLEASE SPEAK INTO THE MICROPHONE SO WE CAN CAPTURE

YOUR COMMENTS. >> WE OFFER BEFORE CARE SO THAT

PROGRAM BEGINS AT 7:00 A.M. >> ARE YOU AWARE OF WHAT TIME THE ACTUAL SCHOOL ZONE LIGHTS START EVERY SINGLE DAY?

>> I BELIEVE IT IS 6:45. >> IT IS ACTUALLY EARLIER THAN THAT. I THINK AT THIS POINT IS AS EARLY AS 6:15. I SEE IT AT 6:30.

>> I BELIEVE IT IS 6:30. IT IS 30 MINUTES PRIOR TO THE START TIME. BUT THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE SUBMIT TO THE DISTRICT AND THEY ARE THE ONES THAT SET THE HOURS.

THAT IS NOT SOMETHING -- WE DON'T SET THAT AS THE SCHOOL.

>> TO SEE YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT IT'S LIKE, I DRIVE THAT ROADWAY IN BETWEEN OUT TO UNIVERSITY DRIVE AND HILLSBORO BECAUSE I HAVE TO DROP MY DAUGHTER OFF AT A SCHOOL BUS IN THE PUBLIC PARKING LOT. SO I HAVE TO BE THERE BECAUSE THE BUS LEAVES AT 640 IN THE MORNING.

SO USUALLY I AM LATE, I WOULD SAY,'S I'M PROBABLY MAKING IT JUST ON TIME. I'M DRIVING IN THAT AREA EXACTLY AROUND THAT 6:40 MARK. THERE IS NO WENT OUT THERE CONDUCTING ANY SORT OF CARDS OUT THERE BECAUSE THERE'S REALLY NO STUDENTS, YOU DON'T SEE STUDENTS THAT EARLY IN THE MORNING.

BUT IT DOES START VERY EARLY AND SO YOU HAVE SOME PEOPLE THAT ARE -- AS SOON AS THE LIGHTS ARE ON THEIR DRIVING SLOW.

OTHER PEOPLE I WILL SAY, THEY CALL IT THE FAKE SCHOOL ZONE BECAUSE THEY REALIZE NO ONE IS OUT THERE SO THEY ARE SPEEDING BY, THAT IS THE TRUTH. AND THEN YOU HAVE THE OTHER PEOPLE WHO ARE MAD AT THE PEOPLE WHO WERE SLOW BECAUSE THEY KNOW THERE'S NOBODY THERE. SO IT IS REALLY STARTING ON THE CRAZINESS GOING ON THERE AT 6:15.

SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT STRUCK ME WAS SOMEBODY SAID AND AGAIN, I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS THE TRAFFIC ENGINEER, THAT YOU ARE NOW GOING TO INCREASE BECAUSE IN AN EFFORT TO TRY TO CONTROL THE TRAFFIC, YOU'RE GOING TO STAGGER THE START TIMES, RIGHT? AND I DON'T RECALL SPECIFICALLY, WHEN THE START TIME -- WHEN IT WOULD START, IF IT IS EARLIER AND SET UP A 15:00, WILL NOW MOVE TO SOME 45:00. I DON'T KNOW IF THAT IMPACTS -- I DON'T EVERY THING WILL START TO BACK UP.

IN OTHER WORDS A SET OF STARTING AT 7:00 ARE NOW STARTING AT

6:45. >> IT SHOULD NOT.

BECAUSE WHAT WE HAVE TO SUBMIT TO THE DISTRICT IS THE EARLIEST THE CHILD CAN ARRIVE ON THE CAMPUS AND THAT IS NOT CHANGING.

IT IS 7:00 A.M. AND SO WHAT ARE THEIR SCHOOL DAY BEGINS AT 7:45, A 15:00, A 45:00, THE EARLIEST A CHILD MAY

BE DROPPED OFF AT 7:00 A.M. >> LET'S ASSUME IT STARTS AT 7:00 A.M. RIGHT NOW THEY STILL HAVE THOSE -- I THINK IT IS EARLIER THAN 6:30 SO LET'S DEFER TO YOU.

YOU HAVE YOUR FIRST DROP-OFF IF ANYONE IS COMING, 7:00 A.M. TO DROP OFF THEIR KIDS FOR EARLY CARE, THEN YOU HAVE THE NEXT DROP OFF AT 7:45. THEN I SAW ANOTHER DROP OFF AT WHAT TIME? A 15:00? SO HOW ON THAT END, HOW DOES THAT EXTEND THE TIME THAT THE SCHOOL ZONE IS GOING TO BE IN PLACE?

>> IT SHOULD NOT HAVE SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS BECAUSE THE SCHOOL DAY WILL STILL END OF 3:45.

>> I MEAN IN THE MORNING. IN OTHER WORDS, AND I HAVE TWO DROP-OFFS. YOU HAVE 7:45 AND A 15:00.

WHEN THAT EXTEND THE TIME THAT THE SCHOOL ZONE -- THE LIGHT IS

GOING ON? >> NOT NECESSARILY.

ONLY BECAUSE, AGAIN, IN THE MORNING IT IS THE 7:00 A.M.

DROP-OFF. IN THE AFTERNOON, THE CURRENT

[01:15:03]

MAYBE I'M NOT UNDERSTANDING. >> IT'S PROBABLY ME.

I'M COMING TO SCHOOL, I'M COMING TO DROP OFF MY CHILD.

RIGHT NOW SCHOOL START AT 8:15. SO WHEN DOES THE SCHOOL ZONE AND IN THE MORNING? WHEN DID LIGHTS TURN ON?

>> I THINK IT IS 9:15. >> EXCUSE ME, WHEN HE REFERRED TO THE DISTRICT, YOU REFERRED TO THE COUNTY? SO THAT COULD BE ALTERED IF REQUESTED?

>> PROBABLY. I DON'T SEE WHY NOT.

>> CAN THE TRAFFIC ENGINEER SHED SOME LIGHT ON THIS,

MR. CHAIRMAN? >> THAT WOULD BE -- I THINK HE

IS -- >> I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND THE BEGINNING BUT I THINK FOR NOW IT FINISHES AT 9:15.

THE LAST DROP OFF, THAT TIME IS NOT CHANGING.

IT IS WHAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE RIGHT NOW.

>> IN THE MORNING, EVEN THOUGH YOU WERE HAVING A STAGGERED THE ACTUAL SCHOOL ZONE ITSELF, WHEN I SAY SCHOOL ZONE, IN WHEN THAT LIGHT IS ON AND ONE HAS TO DRIVE 10 MILES AN HOUR, WOULD REMAIN FROM 6:30 29:15 IN THE MORNING, IS THAT CORRECT? AND IN THE AFTERNOON, WHEN IS YOUR START -- WHEN THE SCHOOL ZONE STARTS AND WHEN DOES IT END?

>> I BELIEVE IT STARTS AT 1:45 IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN.

>> WOULD THAT BE CHANGING? >> IT WOULD NOT BE CHANGING.

>> WHAT ABOUT THE END? WOULD THAT BE CHANGING?

>> THAT WOULD NOT BE CHANGING EITHER.

>> SO ALL OF THAT TIME, NOTHING CHANGES, DISPOSAL GERMANE THE

SAME? >> ARE ADDED STAGGERED TIME IS WITHIN THE SAME TIME FRAME -- WHAT ALREADY EXISTS.

>> IT WOULDN'T BE CHANGING AT ALL.

>> CORRECT. >> ALSO WITH RESPECT TO, I GUESS THE STAGGERING -- THE STACKING, THAT IS THE WORD.

THE STACKING OF THE VEHICLES. AND I UNDERSTAND THAT THE CAPACITY IS INCREASING SIGNIFICANTLY FROM WHAT IT IS NOW AND THEY WILL REMOVE THAT BARRIER AND ALLOW MORE CARS TO BE IN THE INTERNAL PART OF THE SITE.

IS THERE ANY ANTICIPATION OF ANY CARS HAVING TO BE OUT ON HILLSBORO AS A RESULT? ARE YOU EXPECTING ANYTHING IN LIGHT OF THE FACT THAT YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE AN ADDITIONAL, I BELIEVE IT IS 820 STUDENTS OF WHICH, BY THE WAY, THEY DO START DRIVING SOME OF THEM AS EARLY AS THE SPRING OF SOPHOMORE YEAR.

I HAD SOME OF THOSE. >> I HAVE 16-YEAR-OLD TRIPLETS AND THEY'RE GETTING THEIR DRIVER'S LICENSE AND A WEEK AND A HALF. I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND.

>> THEY WOULD PROBABLY HAVE -- AND I HAVE TWINS --

>> WE CAN RELATE. >> CERTAINLY.

SO YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE POTENTIAL STUDENTS WITH CARS BEGINNING IN THE MIDDLE OF SOPHOMORE YEAR, JUNIOR YEAR,

SENIOR YEAR? >> NO.

WE WOULD ONLY OFFER TO JUNIORS AND SENIORS.

SO WE WOULD HAVE SPECIFIC GUIDELINES TO BE ELIGIBLE TO PARK ON CAMPUS. CRITERIA SUCH AS GRADE POINT AVERAGE, VOLUNTEER HOURS EVEN. WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO SET WHAT GUIDELINES WE WOULD LIKE AN ORDER FOR THEM TO APPLY FOR A

DRIVING PERMIT. >> FOR MY REAL QUESTION IS IS THERE ANY ANTICIPATION IN LIGHT OF THE CURRENT -- WHAT THE DESIGN IS WITH REGARDS TO WHAT YOU HAVE, WOULD YOU EXPECT ANY CARS AWAITING TO GET INTO THE SCHOOL TO BE SITTING ON

HILLSBORO BOULEVARD? >> NO.

>> OKAY. WITH RESPECT TO STUDENT PARKING, RIGHT NOW, I WOULD ASSUME YOU HAVE NO STUDENT PARKING BECAUSE

THERE WOULDN'T BE -- >> CORRECT.

>> THE ONLY ADDITION FOR STUDENT PARKING IF I UNDERSTOOD THE PRESENTATION CORRECTLY, WAS ONLY 34 SPOTS?

>> YES. AT THE MOMENT, 34.

>> USED AT THIS MOMENT? >> I SAY THIS MOMENT BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT IS STATED. I DON'T ANTICIPATE RIGHT NOW MORE THAN 34. BUT A GUESS AS TIME GOES ON, IF THERE IS SOMETHING THAT WE WANT TO CHANGE, IT ALL DEPENDS.

PERHAPS WE CAN ADD ON THAT END, SOME ADDITIONAL PARKING SPACES BECAUSE WE DO HAVE SUPPLEMENTAL VISIT HER SPACES AND IS REQUIRED, CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG.

WE HAVE ADDITIONAL -- >> I WAS GOING TO MENTION, WE HAVE BEEN SPEAKING WITH THE APPLICANT AS WELL AND THEIR ATTORNEY ABOUT THE POTENTIAL, AT SOME POINT, THE CITY MAY CHOOSE TO AMEND THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE FOR PLACES OF ASSEMBLY, THINGS OF THAT NATURE TO ALLOW SLIGHTLY SMALLER PARKING WIDTHS.

THEY HAVE AGREED THAT IN THE EVENT THAT DOES HAPPEN IN THE FUTURE, THAT THEY WOULD GO AHEAD AND PROCESS A RESTRIPING PERMIT TO ALLOW FOR EXPANDING THE AMOUNT OF SPACES ON PREMISES.

IF THAT DOES HAPPEN, THEY HAVE COMMITTED TO DO SO.

AND PART OF THE SPACES AT LEAST WOULD BE AVAILABLE FOR

ADDITIONAL STUDENT PARKING. >> STUDENTS LOOKING FOR THE

SMALLER PARKING SPACES. >> SO CURRENTLY, THERE IS AN ENTRANCE INTO THE SCHOOL ON UNIVERSITY DRIVE AND THEN WHAT I CALL THE PRIMARY ENTRANCE WHICH IS LOCATED ON HILLSBORO, CORRECT? THERE IS AN ENTRANCE ON

[01:20:01]

>> THAT WOULD NOT BE THE ENTRANCE UTILIZED DURING.

SO IF YOU'RE ASKING ABOUT PERMANENTLY CLOSING IT, SOMEONE

ELSE HAVE TO TAKE THAT ONE. >> ENTER TRAFFIC ENGINEER WILL TALK TO YOU. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT FIRMLY CLOSING IT UTILIZING IT FOR PICKUP AND DROP-OFF.

EVERYTHING, THE MAIN ENTRANCE WILL BE THE ONLY ENTRANCE THAT YOU CAN UTILIZE AS YOU ARE BRINGING YOUR CHILD TO THEM FROM SCHOOL. CORRECT.

RIGHT NOW I HAVE SOME PARKING THAT YOU CAN UTILIZE FROM THERE.

THERE'S ALSO -- THAT IS NOW BEEN SHIFTED TO HILLSBORO.

SO THE INTENT ISN'T A CLOSE UNIVERSITY DRIVE BUT THE INTENT IS TO KEEP THAT GATED. I LOOK AT THAT AS EMERGENCY ACCESS GATE, THAT IS ALL THAT WILL REALLY BE USED FOR.

CAN IT BE USED FOR SOMETHING -- SOME OFF SCHOOL TIME FOR SOME PURPOSE? SURE, I SUPPOSE.

BUT IT IS NOT THE INTENT. THE INTENT WAS EVERYTHING COMING UP HILLSBORO. THAT IS GATED AND COULD MAYBE BE

USED FOR EMERGENCY ACCESS. >> THAT WAS ANOTHER BIG CONCERN THAT I HAD WITH RESPECT TO THE PRESENTATION.

TO ALEX'S POINT, IT IS NOW VERY CONDENSED.

THERE IS NO MORE GREEN SPACE THERE, AT ALL.

EVERY INCH OF IT LOOKS LIKE IT IS NOW BEING USED FOR BUILDINGS, MY CONCERN WAS WHERE THE EMERGENCY VEHICLES WILL COME IN? WHERE WILL IT GO? WHERE WILL THEY BE? WE ARE STACKING CARS NOW ALL OVER THE PLACE.

WHERE THE EMERGENCY VEHICLES ACCESSING IT AND HOW ARE THEY GOING TO DO IT ONCE THEY ARE IN THE SITE?

>> MAYBE IF I CAN GO BACK TO -- WE WILL GO TO MY PLAN.

THIS IS OBVIOUSLY THE OPERATIONAL PLAN BUT FROM AN EMERGENCY ACCESS STANDPOINT, BESIDES THE PRIMARY ENTRANCE WHERE YOU GO AND CIRCULATE ALL THE WAY AROUND, BUT WE JUST TALKED ABOUT, THE UNIVERSITY ENTRANCE WILL BE AVAILABLE SO THE VEHICLE COULD GO THROUGH. BUT ALSO, SO FOR EXAMPLE, LET'S SAY THAT CARS ARE STACKED UP, THEIR INTERNAL AND IN THEIR LINE, YOU WILL NOT BACK UP TO HILLSBORO, THERE'S ALSO A SEPARATE GATE. THIS IS THERE TODAY, THAT ACTUALLY ALLOWS YOU TO KIND OF SHORTCUT INTO WHAT WE CALL THE VISITOR PARKING LOT. THE PURPOSE OF THAT IF YOU ARE A PARENT FOR PARENT-TEACHER CONFERENCES ARE COMING IN AT 10:00 A.M., YOU DON'T NEED TO CIRCULATE ALL THE WAY AROUND, YOU CAN COME THROUGH THERE. THE REASON I'M BRINGING THAT UP, DURING A BUSY TIME, NOT ONLY IS THE UNIVERSITY DRIVE IN EMERGENCY ACCESS BE YOU CAN EVEN UTILIZE THAT CUT GATE THROUGH.

HE WILL GO TO THE MAIN ENTRANCE, DON'T GET ME WRONG, BE WERE NOT CIRCULAR AND ALL THE WAY THROUGH THAT LINE, YOU'RE CUTTING IN AND ABLE TO GET TO THE SCHOOL MUCH FASTER.

>> WE HAVE HAD EMERGENCY VEHICLES THAT HAVE HAD TO COME OUT WHILE WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF CARLINE.

SO BECAUSE WE HAVE THAT ADDITIONAL OPPORTUNITY TO COME IN, WE HAVE NOT HAD ANY ISSUES, WHATSOEVER, TO BRINGING A

EMERGENCY VEHICLE IN. >> BUT NOW THERE WILL BE MANY MORE CARS STACKING MANY MORE CARS IN A VERY CONDENSED SPACE, RIGHT? MORE CARS IN THE FRONT --

>> WHERE THE VEHICLE WOULD COME IN IF YOU TAKE A LOOK, IT IS ON

THE PURPLE LINE. >> TO THE EMERGENCY VEHICLE COMES FROM THE LEFT AND THEN COMES AROUND WITH ACCESS TO THE SCHOOL ON THAT SIDE. SO YOU CAN BYPASS THAT?

NOW I UNDERSTAND. >> CAN YOU TELL ME HOW CLOSE THE GYMNASIUM, THE NEW GYMNASIUM BUILDING WOULD BE TO THE LAKE

ITSELF? >> ONE MOMENT, WE ACTUALLY

LOOKED AT THIS EARLIER. >> IT IS AWFULLY CLOSE, THAT'S WHY I'M ASKING. I THINK IT IS LIKE SITTING RIGHT THERE. RIGHT THERE.

>> SHOW IT ON THE SITE PLAN EARLIER, ONE OF THE SLIDES.

CATELYN. >> I WILL LET THEM PROVIDING MORE, MORE SPECIFIC RESPONSE BUT IT IS APPROXIMATELY JUST NORTH OF 20 FEET. THERE'S A 20-FOOT EASEMENT THAT IS NORTH OF THE GYMNASIUM AND IS IN THAT LAKE MANAGEMENT EASEMENT

LINE. >> SORRY, TO THE THING WE'RE LOOKING AT, WE ARE BASICALLY IN JUST ABOUT THE SAME FOOTPRINT OF THE GYMNASIUM THAT WAS ORIGINALLY APPROVED IN THE SAME LOCATION. SO AS ON THE ORIGINAL SITE PLAN AND IT IS BASICALLY THE SAME FOOTPRINT THAT WAS ORIGINALLY

IMPROVED. >> THE NEXT QUESTION I HAVE

[01:25:12]

IT WASN'T CLEAR TO ME ABOUT THE DATES OF THE PHASING AND WHEN THE INITIAL ROADWAY CONSTRUCTION -- WHAT I MEAN IS ANY CONSTRUCTION RELATING OUTSIDE ON THE PERIMETER, WHEN THAT WAS ANTICIPATED TO BEGIN AND WHEN IT IS ANTICIPATED TO BE COMPLETED.

>> YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE PROPOSED NEWS.

SO THE ONLY OFF-SITE IMPROVEMENT IS THE ROUNDABOUT.

WE ARE STILL FINALIZING EXACTLY THE WIN.

YOU REMEMBER THEY HAD A STUDENT CAP OF 1280.

THE GYMNASIUM AND BUILDING C WERE PART OF THAT ORIGINAL APPROVAL. IT IS A CONDITION THAT WILL READ SOMETHING ALONG THE LINES OF BEFORE WE GET A BUILDING PERMIT FOR BUILDING C, WHICH WE TECHNICALLY HAVE THE RIGHT TO GO AND BUILD UNDER TODAY'S APPROVALS, WE WILL SUBMIT AND MAKE SURE WE SUBMIT ALL APPLICATIONS TO THE COUNTY, IT IS A FAIRLY LENGTHY PROCESS AND WE'VE SEEN A COUPLE TIMES BEFORE FOR SOME ROUTES. BEFORE WE GET ACO, BEFORE THAT BUILDING, THE PERMIT NEEDS TO BE READY TO BE ISSUED AND THE TIME FRAME FOR CONSTRUCTION IS -- WE ARE TRYING TO SPECIFICALLY FIGURE IT OUT BECAUSE WANT TO MAKE SURE THE VAST MAJORITY OF THAT TIME FRAME FALLS DURING SUMMER MONTHS.

THE WAY THESE TIMES PLAY OUT, IF WE ARE READY FOR A PERMIT BASED ON THE REVIEW OF THE CITY AND THE REVIEW OF THE COUNTY AND SEPTEMBER, HOUSING ANYONE WANTS US OUT THERE BUILDING A ROUNDABOUT THAT HAS FOR FIVE MONTHS IN SEPTEMBER THROUGH THE HOLIDAYS AND IN JANUARY WHEN IT IS REALLY PROBLEMATIC, THE GOAL IS TO DO THIS MUCH FROM MAY TO AUGUST.

SO WE ARE STILL TRYING TO FIND THAT PIECE OF THE CONDITION, THAT IS GENERALLY THE TIME FRAME WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT.

>> RE: TONGUE BUT THIS MAN AUGUST?

>> NO I'M SORRY. >> I WAS LIKE OH, MY GOD.

>> I WILL GO TO THE RAMP-UP SCHEDULE THE IDEA WOULD BE PHASE ONE, BUILDING C, KIND OF IN BETWEEN -- WE'RE PROBABLY TALKING SOMEWHERE IN THE 28-29 OR PRIOR TO THE START OF THE

28-29 SCHOOL YEAR. >> I'M NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE LENGTH OF THE CURRENT PROJECTS THAT ARE GOING ON IN THE CITY OF PARKLAND AND WHEN THEY WILL BE I'M TALKING ABOUT EVERYTHING THAT IS GOING ON, EVERYTHING THAT IS GOING ON ALONG HILLSBORO BOULEVARD. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAVE BEEN ON FACEBOOK BUT I'M SURE YOU HAVE, SCOTT.

YOU HEAR A COMPLAINT EVERY SINGLE DAY.

ABOUT HOW YOU CAN'T GET INTO THE CITY, YOU CAN'T GET OUT OF THE CITY, NO ONE KNOWS HOW TO DRIVE IN THE ROUNDABOUTS, IT IS TAKING FOREVER. SO MY QUESTION WAS, TO WHAT EXTENT -- AND MAY BE REPRESENTATIVES THE CITY HERE COULD TELL ME, ALL THAT CONSTRUCTION THAT IS CURRENTLY EXISTING RIGHT NOW IN THE CITY, IS THAT GOING TO BE OVER AT THE TIME THAT YOU BEGIN YOUR CONSTRUCTION? AGAIN, I'M TALKING BUT THE ROADWAY CONSTRUCTION.

>> MR. JOHNSON? >> I WILL TELL YOU WHAT I KNOW.

ASSISTANT ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER FOR THE RECORD.

THE PROJECT IS SCHEDULED TO BE COMPLETED THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2027. SO YOU'RE HILLSBORO BOULEVARD PROJECT SHOULD BE THE LATEST, THE FOURTH QUARTER OF 2027.

>> AND THIS PROJECT IS TO START WHEN?

>> I'M SORRY, I MISSED THE QUESTION.

>> HE SAID THAT HE EXPECTED THAT THE CURRENT CONSTRUCTION WOULD BE COMPLETED THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2027.

BUT THEY HILLSBORO CONSTRUCTION WOULD BE COMPLETED UNTIL THE END OF 2027 AND PLEASE REMIND ME AGAIN --

>> IDEALLY WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO DO IS MAY TO AUGUST OF 2028TH IS THE PLAN. SO BEFORE SCHOOL STARTS IN 2028.

THE ROUNDABOUT TAKES A COUPLE MONTHS -- TAKES A FEW MONTHS TO BUILD. BUT YOU CAN DO A LOT OF WORK SO THAT THE ROAD IS ENCLOSED. SO YOU CAN DO IT WHERE YOU KEEP LANES OPEN. CERTAINLY WE WOULD MINIMIZE ANY CONTRACT OF YOUR REQUIRED AND MINIMIZE ANY CLOSURE.

IT IS A WHOLE DIFFERENT STORY, IT IS A LONG TWO-LANE ROAD.

THERE ARE A LOT OF CHALLENGES ASSOCIATED WITH THIS, IT IS A BIT EASIER, IS ONE PARTICULAR INTERSECTION.

AND A LOT OF THAT WORK CAN BE DONE KEEPING THE ROADS OPEN SO WE MINIMIZE THE AMOUNT OF ACTUAL DESTRUCTION THERE WOULD BE AND WE WOULD DO THAT DURING THE SUMMER, A VISA WHEN IS NOT IN SESSION. THAT IS THE PLAN.

>> BELIEVE ME, I HOPE THAT IS TRUE.

I MAY CONSTRUCTION LITIGATION ATTORNEY BY TRADE.

[01:30:04]

AND SOMETIMES UNFORTUNATELY, THEY HAVE A TENDENCY TO GO BEYOND WHAT THEIR INITIAL PLANNED DURATIONS ARE.

AND I THINK IT'S A DIFFERENT LITTLE DIFFERENT HERE BECAUSE REMEMBER YOU ARE ALSO GOING TO BE DOING THAT, WHEN I SUPPOSE IT BE ACTIVE SCHOOL GOING ON. IS AN ACTIVE SCHOOL -- IN OTHER

WORDS THE TRAFFIC IS LOW -- >> IT WOULD BE DURING THE SUMMER, IT WOULD BE DURING A SCHOOL ZONE.

>> ASSUMING IT'S COMPLETED AND DONE ON TIME.

BUT IF NOT, THERE COULD BE A POSSIBILITY.

THERE COULD BE WHERE THAT CONSTRUCTION IS GOING ON, YOU WERE IN A SCHOOL ZONE, SCHOOL IS ACTIVE AND THAT IS ALSO SOMETHING THAT HAS TO BE -- CERTAINLY HAS TO BE CONSIDERED JUST AS A POSSIBILITY. THE LAST QUESTION I HAD RELATED% TO THAT ENTRANCEWAY ON UNIVERSITY DRIVE.

I BELIEVE IT WAS THE ARCHITECTURAL FIRM YOU MENTIONED. AS SOON AS CONSTRUCTION BEGINS IN THE CLASSROOM, YOU HAVE NAMED IT C OR D BUT THE ONE THAT HAS THE CAFETERIA AND THE FIRST BUILDING TO BE CONSTRUCTED IN THE NEW CLASSROOMS. THAT WILL BE THE LOCATION WHERE CONSTRUCTION VEHICLES ARE GOING TO BE, THAT IS THE EGRESS FOR CONSTRUCTION VEHICLES, THAT CORRECT? AND WHEN WOULD WE ANTICIPATE THAT THOSE VEHICLES WOULD BEGIN TO ENTER INTO THAT AREA IN TERMS OF THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE SCHOOL BUILDING? I DON'T RECALL AGAIN, TO THE PHASING OF THIS, WHEN WITH THAT COMMENCED?

NO I'M TALKING ABOUT INTERIOR -- >> ARE WE TALKING TIME OF DAY?

>> I'M TALKING ABOUT WHEN. WHEN IS THE SCHEDULED TO BEGIN?

>> THANK YOU. --

>> JUST SO WE CAN PICK UP JUST YOUR NAME AGAIN.

NOW YOU ARE BUT WHO IS SPEAKING, THANK YOU.

>> CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER. APPROXIMATELY SUMMER TO FALL OF 27, THE CONSTRUCTION WILL BEGIN. THESE PROJECTS TAKE US ANYWHERE FROM 10-12 MONTHS AND SO THAT'S WHY IT WILL BE READY FOR THE

FALL OF 28. >> SO THERE WILL BE INTERIOR CONSTRUCTION -- I SHOULD SAY CONSTRUCTION IN THE INTERIOR OF THE SITE BEGINNING AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SUMMER OF 2027 AND THEN LASTING FOR AT LEAST AN ENTIRE YEAR, THAT WE ARE

ANTICIPATING? >> YES, MA'AM,.

>> SO CONSTRUCTION VEHICLES ARE GOING TO BE GOING IN THAT ENTRANCEWAY ON AN OFFER APPEARED AT LEAST A YEAR.

>> THEY WILL BE COMING THROUGH THERE, WE SEGREGATE THEM, WE HAVE STATE STATUES WE NEED TO SEGREGATE THOSE WORKERS WHEN THEY COME IN, THEY HAVE BACKGROUND CHECKS, THEY GO TO A SPECIFIC AREA AND PARK AND THEY HAVE A SPECIFIC LINE THAT THEY TAKE FROM THE PARKING LOT TO THE AREA OF CONSTRUCTION.

THAT IS ALL LAID OUT BY OUR DIRECTOR OF SAFETY AND SECURITY ALONG WITH THE POSSIBLE OF THE SCHOOL.

SHE MENTIONED THE SET PERSONNEL ALONG THERE, SO THAT WHEN THAT IS HAPPENING, THOSE WORKERS THAT ARE COMING THERE STRICTLY STAY

IN THOSE AREAS. >> JUST ONE MORE QUESTION.

HAS THE CITY OR YOUR COMPANY -- HAS MIRALAGO, PARTICULARLY TOWN PARK, THE HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION OR THE MASTER ASSOCIATION BEEN FORMALLY NOTIFIED TO THE EXTENT OF WHAT IS COMING IN YOUR

BACKYARD? >> THE MAILING OR THE PERIMETER

NOTIFICATION THAT GETS DONE? >> THE SPECIAL EXCEPTION IS REQUIRED TO BE MAIL NOTICE WITH A 500-FOOT RADIUS.

OTHERWISE ALL THE APPLICATIONS FOLLOW THE STANDARD POSTIN ON THE CITY AND COUNTY WEBSITE FOR THE AGENDA ITEMS.

>> SO NO FORMAL NOTIFICATION OTHER THAN THE POSTING ON THE WEBSITE, THAT WE WERE SAYING? MADE ANY ADDITIONAL OR SUPPLEMENTAL NOTICE BUT THE CITY FOLLOWED ITS REQUIREMENTS.

>> AND THE MAIL NOTICE AS WELL. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU GOT THAT

PART. >> THIS WOULD JUST BE A FRIENDLY SUGGESTION CACTUS BECAUSE THEY ARE A NEIGHBOR, I WOULD BE EXTENDING A HAND. I WOULD BE PROVIDING THEM A FORMAL NOTIFICATION INSTEAD OF JUST ASSUMING THAT THEY KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON BY VIRTUE OF MAY BE HEARING IT ON FACEBOOK OR PRESUMABLY THAT IT IS ON A WEBSITE.

>> THE HOMES, THE TOWNHOMES, NOT THE WHOLE COMMUNITY, WITHIN THE NOTICE RADIUS THAT THE TOWNHOMES AND MIRALAGO.

>> SO SMALL SECTION OF THE MIRALAGO -- BECAUSE I DIDN'T

RECEIVE ANY NOTIFICATION. >> IT DOESN'T GO TO THE WHOLE

[01:35:02]

BUT JUST TO LET PEOPLE KNOW, BECAUSE THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS THAT I USE THE ENTRANCE ON THE UNIVERSITY SIDE EXIT IN ORDER TO EXIT THE COMMUNITY. SO DOES DIRECTLY IMPACT ME, EVEN THOUGH I RESIDE MORE NORTH IN THE COMMUNITY.

SO I THINK IT WOULD BE VERY IMPORTANT TO AT LEAST PROVIDE NOTICE WEATHERBY FORMAL NOTIFICATION TO THE MASTER ASSOCIATION AND CERTAINLY THE HOMEOWNER ASSOCIATION AT TOWN PARK. AND THEN MAYBE ALLOW THEM TO NOTIFY THEIR OWN MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY.

BUT IF NOT, A FORMAL LETTER TO I THINK EVERY HOME BECAUSE AGAIN, IT DOES IMPACT -- WE ONLY HAVE TWO EXITS OUT OF THE COMMUNITY.

SO THAT WOULD JUST BE A FAMILY SUGGESTION.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ANSWERING MY QUESTIONS, I TRULY APPRECIATE

IT. >> JOEL KAPLAN?

>> THANK YOU. FIRST QUESTION IS FOR KAITLIN.

THE ORIGINAL DEVELOPMENT APPROVAL WAS FOR 98,000 SQUARE

FEET, IS THAT CORRECT? >> GIVE OR TAKE, YES.

98 AND CHANGE. >> FOR THE BUILDINGS, OKAY.

BUT THE MIRALAGO MASTER PLAN SAYS THEY COULD BUILD UP TO 110.

>> CORRECT. >> SO THEY WOULD HAVE TO AMEND THE ORIGINAL SITE TO DO THAT. RIGHT? BUT NOW THEY WANT 35. CORRECT?

>> THEY WOULD NEED TO AMEND THE MASTER PLAN AND THE SITE.

>> SO LET'S JUST WORK NUMBERS, RIGHT? I WAS HERE FOR THE ORIGINAL PASSING OF THIS.

A VERY LONG NIGHT. BUT BY THE INCREASE? YOU GUYS HAVEN'T TOLD ME WHY YOU NEED IT OR EXACTLY WHERE IT IS GOING. SO I HAVE A COUPLE QUESTIONS.

I MAY HAVE MISSED THIS. THERE'S 4398 SQUARE FEET THAT IS ALREADY COVERED IN BUILDING B WHICH IS AN EXTERIOR ROOM.

AWAY FROM THE WALLS. >> IT IS BEING

>> IT'S NOT -- IT IS BEING ENCLOSED.

>> BEING ENCLOSED BUT IT ALREADY HAS A ROOF ON IT SO LET'S CALL IT WHAT IT IS. IT IS ALREADY PRETTY MUCH THERE.

THE GYM HAS GROWN TO 27,000 SQUARE FEET, BUT YOU SAID YOU ARE MAKING IT TWO STORIES BUT HOW MUCH LARGER HAS THE FOOTPRINT OF THE GYM BEEN INCREASED?

I WASN'T ABLE TO FIND THAT? >> IF ONE OF YOU GUYS WANT TO...

>> DO THE MATH. >> YEAH, IT AGAIN COME ULTIMATELY I THINK THE CRUX OF THE ADDITIONAL SQUARE FOOTAGE, BUILDINGS C AND E GET US VERY CLOSE AND YOU CAN GET THE SPECIFIC NUMBERS COME IT'S ABOUT 25,000 SQUARE FEET ADDITIONAL AND THAT IS BASICALLY BUILDING B, IT WAS NEVER PROPOSED, THAT IS WHERE THE CRUX OF THE INCREASE COMES

FROM. >> THAT'S WHAT I'M GETTING AT.

BUT I'M CURIOUS BECAUSE OF THE BUILDING FOOTPRINT ON THE GYM IS THE SAME, THE ADDITIONAL SQUARE FOOTAGE OF THE 10,000 SQUARE FEET IS THE SECOND FLOOR, THAT'S KIND OF NEITHER HERE NOR THERE.

>> GOOD EVENING, MEMBERS. I AM WITH PACIFIC ARCHITECTURE.

BASED ON OUR MATH LOOKING AT IT REALLY QUICK, THE CURRENT DESIGN OF THE GYM ABOUT 15 FEET TO THE WEST FROM THE PRIOR.

IT DIDN'T GROW NORTH, DIDN'T GROW SOUTH OR EAST.

>> A LITTLE TO THE WEST COME OKAY.

15 FEET BUT YOU ARE STILL WITHIN THE SETBACKS, CORRECT?

>> BUFFERS, SETBACKS, YES. >> HAVING IT PROBLEMS HERE.

SORRY. ON YOUR PLANS, YOU READ THAT THE TOTAL SQUARE FOOTAGE OF ALL THE BUILDINGS WAS 125,672.

BUT WE ARE ASKING FOR 135. WHY THE ADDITIONAL 9328?

>> YEAH, SURE, I'LL FIELD THAT ONE.

WHERE WE ARE ASKING FOR IT ON THE COME A LOT OF THE TIME THE WAY SQUARE FOOTAGE IS CALCULATED COME IN BROWARD COUNTY YOU PAY FOR WHAT YOU BUILD, LACK OF A BETTER TERM, PUT IT ON A PLAT IN ORDER FOR THE CITY AND THE COUNTY TO COLLECT THEIR IMPACT FEES. WE HAVE 135, IT PROVIDES A BIT OF A BUFFER BECAUSE BROWARD COUNTY COMES OUT AND COVERED AREAS, AWNINGS, WHO KNOWS IF THE STATE STRUCTURES FALL INTO IT. THEY ARE PRETTY PARTICULAR SO WE WANTED TO GIVE OURSELVES A BUFFER, WE ARE PLANNING PAYING

[01:40:03]

THE OTHER ELEMENT OF THAT -- AGAIN WE WOULD HAVE TO COME BACK TO THE CITY BOARD BUT GOING THROUGH THE PLAT NOTE AMENDMENT, THE PLAT SPECIFICALLY IS A COUNTY PROCESS AND WE WOULD RATHER GIVE OURSELVES A MINOR ADDITIONAL BUFFER IF WE DECIDE TO COME BACK -- I'M MAKING ALL THIS COME I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE WE MIGHT GO OUT AND PUT ON CAMPS BUT THERE MAY BE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR SOME OTHER ELEMENTS AND NOT HAVING TO GO BACK TO A COUNTY PROCESS AND JUST A CITY PROCESS IS ALSO IMPORTANT FROM A TIMING

STANDPOINT. >> THAT'S FAIR.

I UNDERSTAND THE PLAT THING. WHAT IS -- EXCUSE ME.

>> GOOD ANSWER, TOO. >> HAS THE GYM GROWN IN HEIGHT,

AND IN THE SECOND FLOOR? >> WE CAN ADDRESS IT, DEPENDING ON THE SECOND FLOOR IN MORE DETAIL, THE SECOND FLOOR AND THE ARCHITECTURAL ELEMENT IN THE REPORT, AS WELL.

IT HAS GROWN IN HEIGHT. >> I WOULD BE CONCERNED ABOUT THE PALMS CLOSEST TO THAT BEING SO CLOSE COOK AND WHAT THAT VIEW -- THE LANDSCAPE IS PRETTY MATURE AT THIS POINT IN TIME.

SO I WAS JUST CURIOUS. OH, THANK YOU.

>> IF I MAY, MEMBER, THE GYM ALWAYS WAS A TWO -STORY VOLUME BECAUSE GYMS HAVE TO BE -- RIGHT.

SO WE HAVEN'T INCREASED THAT. WHAT WE DID INCREASE WAS ATTACHED TO IT PROGRAM AS A BAND ROOM AND THINGS LIKE THAT THAT ARE IN THE VOLUME OF THAT TWO -STORY VOLUME WITH A FLOOR O IT IS THE SECOND FLOOR. THERE IS ARCHITECTURAL ELEMENTS THAT OBVIOUSLY THE CITY IS AN EXAMPLE, THE CORNER TOWER WE ARE USING TO MARK THE TRANSITION BETWEEN GYM AND THE REST OF THE SCHOOL, SO LET'S CALL IT ESTHETIC ELEMENTS, ARCHITECTURAL ELEMENTS, TO ENHANCE THE ARTICULATION OF THE BUILDING BUT ESSENTIALLY THERE WAS ALWAYS A TWO-STORY VOLUME --

>> FAIR ENOUGH, IT JUST DIDN'T GROW IN HEIGHT.

>> THE LANDSCAPING TO THE NORTH AND TO THE WEST OF THE GYM WAS COORDINATED WITH THE CITY ARBORIST.

I ACTUALLY GOT AN I.D. TO GET SPECIAL APPROVAL TO PLANT WITHIN SO WE COULD GET ADDITIONAL PLANTING TO THE NORTH, AND THEN THROUGH COORDINATION WITH THE CITY'S ARBORIST, THEY ARE ADDING AN ADDITIONAL TO THE WEST OF THE GYMNASIUM.

>> PERFECT. GIVE ME ONE SECOND HERE.

YOU ARE LOOKING AT 125, SO IT IS 27,000 SQUARE FEET KIND OF ASKING FOR, RIGHT? EXTRA? 4000 OF WHICH IS COVERED, JUST IN CLOSING IN SOME WALLS, I GET THAT. YOU ASKED ABOUT THE EXPANSION SCHEDULE, SO THANK YOU FOR THAT. GOT THAT.

GOT THAT. SORRY, I'M JUST --

>> YOU ARE RUNNING OUT OF PAPER. >> I AM, WHICH IS A GOOD THING.

JUST CURIOUS, YOUR CURRENT ENROLLMENT, IS IT MAXED?

WHAT ARE YOU AT? >> I THINK 1028, RIGHT? AND WE ARE ALLOWED TO BE AT 1280.

>> CORRECT. PART OF NOT BEING MAXED OUT IS THAT THE ADDITIONAL BUILDINGS WEREN'T BUILT, SO CURRENTLY IN ORDER TO HAVE A FUNCTIONAL EDUCATIONAL SETTING, THAT'S AS

FAR AS I CAN GET. >> GET AS MUCH FROM THE STATE AS

EVERYBODY ELSE. >> NO.

>> I GET IT. THE TRAFFIC PLAN WAS CURRENT.

YOU ANSWERED THAT. THANK YOU.

HOW MANY STUDENTS ARE COMING FROM OUT OF TOWN?

>> OUT OF THE CITY OF PARKLAND? >> YES.

>> THERE IS ABOUT HALF FROM CITY OF PARKLAND AND ABOUT THE OTHER HALF COMING FROM NEIGHBORING COMMUNITIES.

BUT WITH THAT SAID, ONE OF THE BIGGEST EYE OPENERS FOR US IS THAT OUR MIDDLE SCHOOL WAITLISTS, THAT WAS ON ONE OF THE SLIDES, IS ONE OF OUR GREATEST WAITLISTS BECAUSE THEY ARE LOOKING FOR ADDITIONAL OPPORTUNITIES, SO WE ARE NOT ABLE TO OFFER ANY MORE SEATS IN OUR MIDDLE SCHOOL, AND SO -- CORRECT. AND A LOT OF OUR STUDENTS END UP FOR HIGH SCHOOL GOING TO PRIVATE -- SOME GO TO MSD BUT A LOT OF THEM BECAUSE WE JUST STOP AT EIGHTH GRADE, THEY DON'T HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO STAY. BECAUSE OUR RETENTION RATE IS

ABOUT 76%. >> MY NEXT QUESTIONS ARE FOR THE

[01:45:05]

PAGE 184 OF 479, THE TRAFFIC STATEMENT, TALKS ABOUT THE CONCURRENCY, AND THE TRAFFIC WAS A CONCURRENCY STATEMENT NOT PROVIDED BY BROWARD COUNTY, BUT ALL ITEMS REQUIRED FOR CONCURRENCY WOULD BE BORNE BY YOU GUYS AND I WANT TO GET THAT RIGHT, BUT I THINK IT WAS -- CAN WE GO TO -- CAN WE GO TO THAT PAGE? ARE WE ALLOWED TO?

>> YEAH, AND WHILE SHE IS PULLING THAT UP I WILL ADDRESS IT. BROWARD COUNTY DOES NOT ISSUE STANDARD TRAFFIC CONCURRENCY RECORDS OR APPROVALS.

WTHEY DON'T DO THAT. WE HAVE SUBMITTED THE STUDY TO BROWARD COUNTY, TALKED ABOUT IT AND REVIEWED IT.

WE OBVIOUSLY PROVIDE OUR OWN ANALYSIS OF IT.

WE DO MEET THE LEVEL OF SERVICE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE ROADWAYS.

SO WE MEET THE APPLICABLE LEVEL OF SERVICE STANDARDS.

>> THE QUESTION I HAD, THIRD SENTENCE, ALL CONCURRENCY REQUIREMENTS WILL BE SATISFIED THROUGH PROPORTIONATE AND OFF SITE IMPROVEMENTS. TAKES US TO THE ROUNDABOUT --

>> THE ROUNDABOUT, CORRECT. >> I LOVE ROUNDABOUTS.

DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE CAN'T FIGURE THEM OUT.

[LAUGHTER] I THINK THEY ARE THE GREATEST THINGS EVER. IS THERE A WAY -- THIS MAY ASSUAGE SOME CONCERNS -- THE WAY THE ROUNDABOUT IS CURRENTLY DRAWN, IT KIND OF GOES IN AND OUT, KNOWING PEOPLE IN THIS TOWN, YOU SEE A CAR IN A ROUNDABOUT, GOING THROUGH IT, AND A CAR HAS TO GO RIGHT AND LEFT AND RIGHT AGAIN TO GET INTO THAT DRIVE LANE, IS IT FEASIBLE TO HAVE THE EXIT LANE THAT GOES INTO YOUR SCHOOL ON HILLSBOROUGH NOW? CAN THAT START ON UNIVERSITY AND THEN MOVE AROUND?

>> YEAH, AND THIS IS ONE OF THE THINGS WE ARE FINALIZING WITH BROWARD COUNTY ON EXACTLY WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE.

WHAT YOU ARE SUGGESTING IS WHAT WE ARE CALLING A BYPASS LANE FOR A ROUNDABOUT, SO THINK ABOUT IT AS YOUR SOUTHBOUND RIGHT TURN LANE LIKE IT EXISTS TODAY BUT ESSENTIALLY THAT JUST EXTENDS OVER AND IT TURNS INTO THE WESTBOUND RIGHT TURN LANE INTO THE MAIN ENTRANCE. SO WHAT I WILL SAY IS THERE IS TRADE OFFS ASSOCIATED WITH DOING THAT.

I'M NOT NECESSARILY OPPOSED. ULTIMATELY THIS IS GOING TO BE -- REQUIRE AGREEMENT WITH PARKLAND AND THE BROWARD COUNTY.

ONE OF THE CHALLENGES IS IF YOU HAVE SOMEBODY FROM THE SOUTH, GOING NORTH, YOU WANT THEM TO BE ABLE TO GET INTO THAT RIGHT LANE AND IF EVERYONE IS KIND OF MAKING THAT -- LET'S CALL IT A FREE FLOW RIGHT TURN LANE INTO THE ENTRANCE, IT MAKES IT DIFFICULT FOR THEM TO BE ABLE TO GET OVER INTO THE RIGHT TURN LANE IF THAT KIND OF MAKES SENSE WHAT I'M TRYING TO ARTICULATE -- IT CAN BE DONE, YOU DO WHAT MY KIDS LIKE TO CALL THE ZIPPER MERGE, THAT TYPE OF THING TO HAPPEN.

I AM NOT OPPOSED TO THAT. I THINK THAT IS ONE DESIGN IDEA.

I THINK THE WAY WE HAVE IT WORKS, AS WELL.

IT WILL BE AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN BROWARD AND THE CITY AND WHAT

THAT LOOKS LIKE. >> ANSWERED THAT.

ANSWERED THAT. THE LAST THING, AGAIN, 98, GIVE OR TAKE, BUT ASKING FOR 125 IS WHAT WE ARE GETTING AT, CORRECT? AS FAR AS FOOTPRINT OF BUILDINGS.

>> IN TERMS OF WHAT THEY ARE ACTUALLY CONSTRUCTING AT THIS

POINT. >> SORRY?

>> WHAT THEY ARE ACTUALLY CONSTRUCTING AT THIS POINT AND THEN GIVING THEMSELVES THE BUFFER IN CASE THERE NEEDS TO BE

SOME ADDITIONAL -- >> FRANKLY I DON'T THINK YOU HAVE ANY OTHER ROOM TO DO ANYTHING ELSE ON THE SITE, UNLESS YOU GO OUT. I DO SHARE FELLOW BOARD MEMBER CONCERN ABOUT OUTDOOR SPACE. VERY CURIOUS, WOULD THERE BE SENIORS HAVING FUN ON THE ROOFTOP OF BUILDING D WHILE THERE ARE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL KIDS PLAYING IN THE COURTYARD? YOU MAY NOT HAVE THE ANSWER TO THIS RIGHT NOW, AND THE OPERATIONAL FACILITY IS NOT MINE -- IS NOT MY CONCERN.

THIS IS -- I. HAVE TO BE CONCERNED WITH THE PLANNING AND ZONING ASPECTS OF IT. YOU GUYS ARE IN CONTROL OF THE

SAFETY. >> ABSOLUTELY.

I DON'T ANTICIPATE THAT AT ALL. THAT USE IS GOING TO BE FOR INSTRUCTIONAL SPACE, AS WELL -- NOT GOING TO BE A FREE HANGOUT

SPOT. >> DO THEY HAVE OUTDOOR REC

TIME? >> NO.

>> THEY KNOW THAT GOING IN? >> THEY HAVE PHYSICAL

EDUCATION -- >> LIGHTNING OR RAIN, MY

[01:50:03]

>> THANK YOU. >> WE ARE GOING TO COME BACK.

>> THANK YOU COME ON MR. CHAIRMAN.

EXCUSE ME FOR MY VOICE. A LITTLE LARYNGITIS GOING ON.

I WANT TO THANK ALL OF THE PEOPLE WHO CAME HERE TONIGHT, THE PARENTS AND I ASSUME PERHAPS TEACHERS COME ADMINISTRATORS COME A THANK YOU FOR COMING OUT HERE, YOU DO MAKE A DIFFERENCE WHEN YOU COME TO OUR MEETING AND TELL US WHAT YOU THINK, AND I CAN TELL BY THE SMILING FACES OF THOSE YOUNG PEOPLE THAT SOMERSET SCHOOL IS WORKING TREMENDOUSLY. SO I JUST WANT TO GIVE THAT SHOUT OUT. I WAS ON THE BOARD BACK IN 2018, AND THERE WERE A LOT OF QUESTIONS, AND THE QUESTION WAS, WAS SOMERSET IN PARKLAND, WAS IT GOING TO BE ABLE TO WORK, IT WAS ALL SORTS OF MONSTERS, DOGS LYING DOWN WITH CATS, COMMUNIST UNDER ROCKS, IT WAS ALL SORTS OF THINGS GOING ON AT THAT POINT IN TIME WITH PHONE CALLS TO MY HOUSE AT ALL HOURS OF THE NIGHT.

AND I KNOW THE ANSWER IS YES, IT IS WORKING.

AND I STILL HAVE SOME QUESTIONS. I HAVE A QUESTION FOR THE CEO.

ONE OF THE BOARD MEMBERS MENTIONED ABOUT THE STUDENT MIX.

I DON'T SEE IT AS THE RESPONSIBILITY OR THE PURVIEW OF THIS BOARD REGARDING THE MIX OF THE STUDENTS, WHERE THEY INTERACT WITH EACH OTHER. THAT IS FOR THE SCHOOL TO DECIDE. MY QUESTION FOR THE CEO IS DO YOU HAVE AN APPROVED CHARTER FROM THE BROWARD COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD TO OPERATE YOUR K THROUGH 12 SCHOOL?

>> SO UPON THE APPROVAL OF THIS SITE PLAN, THEN WE SUBMIT AN APPLICATION, AND NOW YOU ARE ABLE TO SUBMIT AN APPLICATION FOR A CHARTER TO BROWARD COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD.

>> YES. >> OR THROUGH A COLLEGE OR UNIVERSITY THAT IS APPROVED AS AN AUTHORIZER OR DIRECTLY TO THE STATE OF FLORIDA. SO DIFFERENT THAN IT WAS SEVEN OR EIGHT YEARS AGO. THERE IS A MUCH EASIER PROCESS

NOW. >> SURE.

>> I'M NEVER GOING TO SAY IT'S AUTOMATIC.

>> RIGHT. >> BUT WE HAVEN'T HAD A CHARTER APPLICATION NOT APPROVED IN ANY OF THE COUNTIES THAT WE WORK IN ACROSS THE STATE OF FLORIDA -- EVER.

>> RIGHT, SO YOU WILL BE ABLE TO OPERATE AS A K-12 BECAUSE YOU

WILL BE APPROVED TO DO SO. >> AND AS YOU HEARD FROM PRINCIPAL CASTRO OVER THERE, BECAUSE OF HER STATUS AS HIGH PERFORMING, THEN SHE WILL BE ABLE TO USE THAT TO AUTOMATICALLY INCREASE GRADES, BUT ALSO SUBMIT THE APPLICATION.

>> VERY GOOD. >> WE JUST HAVE TO --

>> IF YOU OPERATE AS K-12 YOU ARE APPROVED TO DO SO.

>> YES, SIR,. >> THE MIX OF STUDENTS IS APPROVED BY THE SCHOOL BOARD OR SOME OTHER AUTHORITY, AND I DON'T SEE IT IS THE PLANNING AND ZONING'S PURVIEW TO BE CONSIDERING THE MIX OF STUDENTS. THE PARENTS OUT HERE SEND THEIR KIDS TO THAT SCHOOL, KNOWING THAT WELL IN ADVANCE, AND IT SEEMS THAT THEY ARE OKAY WITH IT.

ANOTHER QUESTION FOR YOU, SIR. >> IT'S APPROVED.

IT'S NOT APPROVED YET. >> YES, BUT ONCE IT GETS -- ONCE IT GETS TO ZONING, GOING TO PURSUE THAT, TO SAY WE HAVE A FUNCTIONAL BUILDING THAT IS APPROVED BY THE PLANNING AND ZONING OF THE CITY AND THE CITY COMMISSION.

HE SEEKS THE APPROVAL, AND IF HE DOESN'T GET IT, HE CAN'T OPERATE AS A K THROUGH 12. QUESTION.

LET'S SEE. HOW MANY -- SIR, HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU EXPANDED A CAMPUS WITH YOUR COMPANY FROM A K-8 EXPANDING TO K-12, HAVE YOU DONE THAT BEFORE WITH YOUR COMPANY?

>> MANY TIMES. >> HOW MANY TIMES, SIR?

>> THAT I CAN REMEMBER IN THE LAST 15 YEARS COME UP PROBABLY

MORE THAN 20 TIMES. >> SO THIS IS NOTHING NEW TO YOU. YOU HAVE DONE THIS RODEO BEFORE.

OKAY. THAT IS ALL THE QUESTIONS I HAVE FOR THE CEO. THANK YOU, SARAH.

THE CITY'S TRAFFIC ENGINEER IS PRESENT HERE TONIGHT.

HAVE YOU HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW THE TRAFFIC PLAN THAT IS

PROVIDED BY THE APPLICANT? >> YES, I HAVE REVIEWED THE PLAN OF OPERATION AND THE TRAFFIC IMPACT

STUDY. >> AND YOU HAVE GIVEN THEM DIRECTIONS AS TO SOME CHANGES THROUGHOUT THIS PROCESS?

>> YES. >> AND --

[01:55:01]

>> WE ARE AT THE POINT NO ONE IS HAPPY BUT EVERYBODY IS CONTENT

AND AGREEABLE. >> YES.

DON'T LET THE PERFECT GET IN THE WAY OF THE GOOD, RIGHT, SIR? I GET THAT. AND SO YOU -- THE CITY IS RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF THIS APPLICATION, AND YOU AGREE WITH THE OPERATIONAL PLANS RELATING TO THE TRAFFIC?

>> CORRECT. >> NO FURTHER QUESTIONS FOR YOU, SIR. THE ROUNDABOUT.

WHAT? THE ROUNDABOUT.

WILL EVENTUALLY BE EXPANDED INTO THE NOW HENDRICKS PROPERTY.

THIS IS FOR THE STAFF. TO COMPLETE THAT ROUNDABOUT GOING INTO THE HENDRICKS PROPERTY EVENTUALLY.

WHO PAYS FOR THAT? THAT IS UNDECIDED AT THIS POINT IN TIME? SPIEGEL THE DEVELOPER THAT REQUIRES THE STREET CONNECTION WOULD BE REQUIRED TO COMPLETE THOSE ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS TO MAKE THE NECESSARY STREET

EXTENSIONS. >> OKAY.

THE PARKING SITUATION FROM MR. BECKMAN.

I HAD MENTIONED THIS TO YOU EARLIER.

YOU KNOW, WITH THE 34 SPOTS, WITH -- LIKE MAYBE 400 JUNIORS AND SENIORS, PERHAPS, IF I'M DOING THE MATH RIGHT, 34 IS A LITTLE SLIM, AND I KNOW YOU ARE SAYING IT IS A PRIVILEGE.

THERE ARE SOME UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES, POTENTIALLY PEOPLE PARKING IN MAYBE A PUBLIX PARKING LOT.

WHAT ARE YOU PLANNING IN TERMS OF BEING PROACTIVE RELATING TO THIS? CAN YOU BE SPECIFIC TO THE

BOARD? >> YEAH, SO I THINK I MENTIONED FAIRLY EARLY ON, RIGHT, WE ARE DEALING WITH EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS WITH ACADEMIC, SOMERSET AND OBVIOUSLY THE LOCAL SCHOOL HAVE RUN INTO THESE ISSUES ALL OVER FLORIDA, ALL OVE THE COUNTRY, AND SO THINGS ALONG THE LINE OF AN UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCE OF STUDENTS POTENTIALLY PARKING OFF SITE COULD OCCUR. WE SPENT SOME TIME IN A GROUP TALKING ABOUT THAT THIS WEEK WHEN IT WAS RAISED BY CITY STAFF, AND WE WILL CERTAINLY PROACTIVELY ENSURE THERE ARE DISCUSSIONS THAT TAKE PLACE WITH THE OWNERSHIP OF THAT SHOPPING CENTER AND AGAIN, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE ANSWER IS GOING TO BE BASED ON THOSE CONVERSATIONS, BUT CERTAINLY WE WILL BE COMMUNICATING WITH PARENTS AT THE SCHOOL, SO THE RULES, THE GUIDELINES ARE VERY CLEAR, AND THE FIRST KID OR TWO, TRUTHFULLY, IT WOULDN'T BE OUR DECISION NECESSARILY, BUT THE FIRST KID OR TWO BECAUSE THEY ARE PARKING IN A PLACE THEY DON'T BELONG, IT'S PROBABLY NOT GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN.

>> AS LONG AS YOU ARE AWARE OF THE POTENTIAL PROBLEM AND THAT YOU WILL DEAL WITH IT AS BEST YOU CAN.

>> YES, ABSOLUTELY. >> I DON'T KNOW IF THIS WAS IN THE ORIGINAL AGREEMENT, MY BACKGROUND IS LAW ENFORCEMENT, I WAS A POLICE OFFICER FOR 27 YEARS, AND I USED TO ACTUALLY BE A SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICER. IF WE ARE RUNNING INTO ISSUES AT THE SCHOOL, WHETHER IT IS, YOU KNOW, IT IS FOR ATHLETIC EVENTS OR SOME SORT OF ISSUES THAT NEED THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE TO BE INVOLVED, I ALWAYS LIKE TO PUT A CONDITION ON IF THE CHIEF OF THE PARKLAND SHERIFF'S OFFICE, THERE IS A CONDITION THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED, THAT THE APPLICANT WOULD BEAR THE COST OF HAVING A POLICE DETAIL. I THINK THERE MAY BE SOMETHING ON THE BOOKS NOW RELATING TO THIS APPLICANT PREVIOUS TO THE ORIGINAL APPLICATION THAT I WOULD WANT TO KNOW IF THEY WOULD AGREE TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT ON THIS.

>> YEAH, AND IT'S ACTUALLY ALREADY IN THERE.

I BELIEVE WE CURRENTLY HAVE AN OBLIGATION FOR THREE SHERIFF'S OFFICERS AND FOUR STATE-CERTIFIED CROSSING GUARDS.

AND THERE IS REGULAR COORDINATION THAT OCCURS BETWEEN THE SCHOOL AND BSO. I KNOW I BELIEVE IT IS KATELYN HAS BEEN HAVING DIRECTED DIALOG AS PART OF THIS APPLICATION WITH BS OH, AS WELL, TO ENSURE THE CONDITION IN THERE INCLUDES HAVING OFF DUTY OFFICERS IS ALREADY IN OUR AGREEMENT.

>> THE ORIGINAL APPLICATION, THERE WAS ALSO A LOT OF DISCUSSION ABOUT THE SECURITY OF THE CAMPUS, GOING BACK SEVERAL YEARS, OBVIOUSLY WHAT HAPPENED, AND THERE WERE SOME EXTRAORDINARY MEASURES TAKING PLACE AND THE CONSTRUCTION OF I, AS YOU MENTIONED, I THINK SOMERSET IS CERTAINLY A

[02:00:01]

I HAVE RECEIVED MANY LETTERS FROM PARENTS SAYING PLEASE ALLOW ME TO BE ABLE TO CONTINUE TO SEND MY KID TO HIGH SCHOOL.

I DON'T WANT TO GO SOMEWHERE ELSE, SO I GET ALL OF THAT BEING A PARENT OF NOW COLLEGE STUDENTS, YOU KNOW, SOMERSET HAS A LOT TO BE PROUD OF. HAVE A LOT TO BE PROUD OF.

AND I PLAN ON SUPPORTING AND VOTING FOR THE APPLICATION TONIGHT. NO FURTHER QUESTIONS.

[APPLAUSE] >> KATELYN, YES.

>> JUST FOR THE RECORD, BECAUSE IT IS IMPORTANT, BOARD MEMBER MENTIONED THE SECURITY ANALYSIS, THAT WAS CONDUCTED AS PART OF PHASE ONE, THE APPLICANT HAD THE SAME SECURITY CONSULTANT COME IN WITH THIS PROPOSAL, AND THEY WORKED DIRECTLY WITH BSO FOR PRIVACY REASONS, THAT WASN'T MADE PART OF THE RECORD, BUT THEY WORKED HAND-IN-HAND WITH BSO TO UPDATE THAT FOR THIS

PROPOSAL. >> THANK YOU.

>> GOOD EVENING. THANK YOU.

GREAT PRESENTATION. I WILL START OFF BY SAYING I AM VERY SUPPORTIVE OF SOMERSET. I THINK IT IS A GREAT ADDITION TO THE CITY. IT IS A SYMPTOM OF A BIGGER PROBLEM BY HAVING TO HAVE IT THERE SO I UNDERSTAND IT NEEDS TO GROW. SO I HAVE A COUPLE QUESTIONS, AND MAYBE IT IS JUST MORE OF NOT UNDERSTANDING, I AM NOT REALLY CHALLENGING OR MAYBE THERE IS NO REAL ANSWER.

WE TALKED ABOUT TRAFFIC, I TRIED TO AVOID THAT AREA ANY WAY I CAN, ESPECIALLY DURING SCHOOL TIME AND A COUPLE OF TIMES I HAVE BEEN THERE IT HAS BEEN A PRETTY WHITE KNUCKLED EXPERIENCE JUST TRYING TO GET THROUGH UNIVERSITY AND AROUND THAT CORNER. WITH THAT BEING SAID, ARE WE SAYING THE ROUNDABOUT IS APPROVED, OR HOW IS THAT -- WHERE ARE WE WITH THAT? HOW IS THAT GOING TO GET

APPROVED? >> THE APPLICANT HAS BEEN COORDINATING WITH THE COUNTY FOR PRELIMINARY APPROVAL.

BECAUSE HILLSBOROUGH IS COUNTY RIGHT OF WAY AND UNIVERSITY IS SITIH RIGHT OF WAY, THERE IS JOINT JURISDICTION OVER A FINAL PERMITTING AND APPROVAL OF THAT APPROVAL.

THEY HAVE GONE THROUGH PRELIMINARY APPROVALS WITH THE COUNTIES SO WHAT THEY WILL COORDINATE WITH THE CITY APOSTROPHE'S ENGINEER COME HAVE THE NICE CENTRAL DESIGN FEATURE, AND CONTINUE FINALIZING OF THE PERMITTING PROCESS WITH THE COUNTY AND THE CITY AND RECEIVE PERMITS FROM BOTH TO CONSTRUCT IT. SO IT WILL BE REFINED FURTHER THAN WHAT YOU SEE HERE, AND IT MAY BE FURTHER REFINED BASED ON SOME OF THE DISCUSSIONS ABOUT DIFFERENT LANE CONFIGURATIONS THAT WE HAD TONIGHT, BUT THIS IS CONCEPTUAL.

I DON'T KNOW IF THERE IS A PERCENTAGE BRIAN COULD SAY IF IT IS 50% COMPLETE IN TERMS OF DESIGN, BUT IT WILL CONTINUE.

>> PUTTING THE DESIGN ASIDE, I GUESS WHAT I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND IS THE PATH IS WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A ROUNDABOUT, ASSUMING THE DESIGN AND ALL THAT STUFF IN OTHER WORDS, I DON'T FEEL THAT THIS WOULD BE APPROPRIATE TO KEEP A STOP SIGN COME IN OTHER WORDS I DON'T WANT TO APPROVE THIS --

>> CORRECT. >> IF IT HAPPENS --

>> LET ME ANSWER THIS DIRECTLY. WE WILL HAVE A ROUNDABOUT.

THE CONCEPT IS APPROVED. IT WILL BE PART OF THIS.

IT WILL BE A MUCH BETTER CONDITION THAN A FOUR WAY STOP OR ALL WAY STOP, THREE WAY STOP RIGHT NOW.

>> ON TOP OF THAT, CONDITION, REQUIREMENTS IN TIMING AS WHEN

THEY NEED TO DO SO. >> THANK YOU.

>> WE ARE TALKING A LOT ABOUT VEHICULAR TRAFFIC.

I'M ASSUMING THERE WILL BE A LOT MORE PEDESTRIANS ON THAT AREA, AS WELL. DON'T KNOW IF IT IS AN ISSUE OR NOT OR IF IT HAS BEEN LOOKED AT, I DON'T KNOW WHAT KIND OF, HOW WIDE THE SIDEWALKS ARE. IS THERE ANY CHANCE OF SPILLOVERS OF KIDS BEING SO CROWDED IN THE STREETS, AND SHOULD THERE BE SOME KIND OF RAILING OR BARRIER THERE? JUST SOMETHING TO CONSIDER. AGAIN I DON'T KNOW IF IT IS AN ISSUE OR NOT. THE PARKING.

I KNOW OTHERS HAVE MENTIONED IT, BUT I AM NOT SURE WHAT WE ARE COMPARING IT TO. YOU CAN TELL ME HOW MANY SPOTS ARE THERE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT UTILIZATION THERE IS TODAY, SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE ADDITIONAL SPOTS MEANS, BUT I WILL TELL YOU, 50% OF THE FOLKS ARE COMING OUT FROM OUT OF THE CITY. YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE A LOT MORE DRIVERS THAN YOU ARE PROBABLY ANTICIPATING.

I HAD NO CHOICE WHEN I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL COME I HAD TO DRIVE, I DIDN'T HAVE A PARENT TO TAKE ME TO SCHOOL OR PICK ME UP, YES, I GOT MY CAR TOWED TWICE FROM A PUBLIX PARKING LOT.

SO I HAD NO CHOICE. I KNOW PARKLAND IS THE PRIVILEGED KIDS, AND THE PARKING, YOU PROBABLY CAN'T TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TEACHER AND STUDENT LOTS BECAUSE OF THE CARS, BUT PUTTING THAT ASIDE I JUST DON'T KNOW HOW THAT'S GOING TO WORK AND IT IS YOUR ISSUE ON YOUR PROPERTY.

[02:05:02]

>> THANK YOU. ALSO A PROUD SOMERSET PARENT.

MY LAST SON, I HAVE FIVE BOYS, MY LAST SON IS A SENIOR AT CHAPEL TRAIL. THEIR POLICY, AS PARENTS WE KNEW IT GOING IN, THEY CAN ONLY DRIVE AS A SENIOR, AND THEY CAN ONLY DRIVE IF THEY HAVE A 3.5 GRADE POINT AVERAGE OR MORE.

SO OUR SCHOOLS ARE ABLE TO SET THE STANDARD, THE POLICIES TOLD TO THE PARENTS AND THE STUDENTS AHEAD OF TIME.

AND THERE IS A PROCESS FOR THAT. WE ALSO INCENTIVIZE PARENTS SO THAT THERE IS CARPOOLING. THEY INCENTIVIZE THEM, THEY HAVE TO SERVE CERTAIN HOURS THEY VOLUNTEER AT THE SCHOOL AND ARE PART OF THE SCHOOL FAMILY SO THEY INCENTIVIZE THEM BY PROMOTING CARPOOLING, AND WE EDUCATE THE PARENTS AND THE STUDENTS, AND OBVIOUSLY BECAUSE OF THE CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENT, BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY REQUIREMENTS THAT NOW OUR STATE LAW, ONE SINGLE POINT OF ENTRY TO THE SCHOOL, THE SCHOOLS KNOW EXACTLY WHERE THE STUDENTS ARE COMING FROM, WHERE THEY ARE WALKING FROM, IF THEY ARE PARKING SOMEWHERE ILLEGALLY, SO THEY ADDRESS IT UPFRONT. THERE'S AN EDUCATIONAL PROCESS, AND I WILL NOT TELL YOU IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN.

THE BOARD MEMBER WAS RIGHT ON. BUT WE GO THROUGH A LOT OF WORK TO MAKE SURE. WE NOW DRONE OUR TRAFFIC OPERATION PLANS THROUGH-4 TIMES A YEAR, DEPENDING ON THE CAMPUS. WE SEE WHERE THE CARS ARE COMING FROM AND WHERE THE PEDESTRIANS ARE COMING FROM ALSO, AND THAT ALLOWS US TO ADDRESS THOSE CONCERNS.

>> THANK YOU. JUST BEAR WITH ME A MINUTE.

I WANT TO MAKE SURE I DON'T ASK THE SAME QUESTIONS THAT HAVE BEEN ASKED. I WILL COMMENT, I'M NOT A FAN OF THE LACK OF GREEN SPACE. IT IS A POSTAGE STAMP SITE AND IT IS LIKE A CONCRETE JUNGLE, IT JUST FEELS LIKE ME WEARING AN EXTRA SMALL SHIRT. IT'S JUST WEIRD.

AND AGAIN, I'M NOT SURE WHAT KIND OF SPORTS AND BAND AND MARCHING BAND WHATEVER, AND AGAIN IT IS YOUR BUSINESS AS FAR AS THE SCHOOL INSTITUTION. WHEN I THINK OF MY CHILD AND THE SCHOOL, I LIKE TO SEE THEM PLAY THOSE SPORTS.

IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU HAVE SPORTS. ARE YOU LIKE THE AWAY TEAM ALL THE TIME? HOW DOES THAT WORK?

>> I CAN SPEAK ON THAT. WE CURRENTLY OFFER BASKETBALL, VOLLEYBALL, SOCCER, FLAG FOOTBALL, BOYS AND GIRLS, SO WE DO HAVE A NUMBER OF SPORTS -- AND THIS IS JUST FOR OUR MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS, RIGHT? SO AS WE -- HOPEFULLY, WITH YOUR BLESSING -- WE MOVE ON TO THE HIGH SCHOOL SETTING, WE WILL BE ABLE TO OFFER ADDITIONAL SPORTS, AND THAT IS PARTNERING UP WITH OTHER PARKS IN THE AREA, EVEN OTHER SCHOOLS THAT PERHAPS ARE NEARBY. IT IS COMMON PRACTICE.

MY OWN CHILDREN GO TO A SCHOOL THAT DOESN'T HAVE SPECIFIC FACILITIES TO HOLD TRACK AND FIELD AND CROSS COUNTRY, SO THEY PARTNER, IT IS SOMETHING WE ARE USED TO, AND THAT WOULD BE THE

EXPECTATION. >> THANK YOU.

AND IT IS NOT -- JUST CURIOUS AND WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT FOR ANY CHILD. SO GOING BACK TO THE GYMNASIUM THING, I WAS IN THE CITY AT THE TIME, THE FIRST ROUND HERE.

BUT I WASN'T ON THE BOARD. AND I WOULD LIKE TO AT LEAST FOR A MOMENT JUST SAY JUST BECAUSE SOMETHING WAS PASSED IN THE PAST DOESN'T NECESSARILY MEAN IT WAS RIGHT OR SOMETHING WASN'T ASKED ABOUT OR LOOKED AT. AGAIN COME I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY THE ACCESS POINTS TO THE GYMNAS. 20 FEET SOUNDS LIKE A SMALL DISTANCE FROM THE WATER, BUT IF THERE IS NO ACCESS POINTS THAT ARE TO THAT WATER, TO ME IT IS RELATIVELY MOOT, IF IT MAKES SENSE TO HAVE A BARRIER OR PERIMETER THERE -- THERE IS A

BARRIER? >> THERE CURRENTLY IS ALREADY A

BARRIER IN THE AREA. >> THANK YOU.

TWO LAST THINGS. NUMBER ONE, IN THE SLIDE YOU TALK ABOUT MAXIMUM ENROLLMENT OF 2100 OR WHATEVER.

SO WHEN I MOVED TO PARKLAND, I HAD A LOT OF CHALLENGES GETTING MY SON INTO THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL THAT I WANTED TO BECAUSE I THINK ALL THREE OF THEM WERE OVER CAPACITY.

SO WHO GOVERNS YOUR MAXIMUM ENROLLMENT? IT IS THE COUNTY? SELF-GOVERNED? WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU HIT 2100? YOU ACTUALLY SAY NO?

>> WE HAVE A COMMITMENT WITH THE CITY THAT WE WILL NOT SURPASS, BECAUSE OF THE INTERLOCAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE CITY AND THE SCHOOL DISTRICT'S, THE SCHOOL DISTRICT ACTUALLY VERIFY, WE HAVE AN ATTENDANCE REQUIREMENTS TWICE A YEAR CMARQ OCTOBER AND FEBRUARY, AND IF, FOR WHATEVER REASON, THEY EXCEED ZONING APPROVALS, THEY DO NOT GET PAID FOR THE AMOUNTS AND WE

[02:10:04]

>> THANK YOU. THIS WAS JUST AN ODD ITEM.

IF YOU GO BACK TO THE SLIDE WITH THE ENROLLMENTS OVER TIME.

SEEMED LIKE SOMETHING IS FUNKY WITH THE FOURTH AND FIFTH GRADERS. IT GOES UP AND DOWN AND UP.

IN THE MIDDLE THERE, 27-30, SEE THE FOURTH AND FIFTH?

IT GOES DOWN, GOES UP. >> THAT IS JUST A SAMPLE.

OUR GRADE LEVELS, WE DON'T HAVE 120 STUDENTS IN KINDERGARTEN, FIRST GRADE, SECOND GRADE, THEY ARE GOING TO VARY, SO THAT IS JUST TO PROVIDE AN EXAMPLE OF THERE MIGHT BE SOME YEARS, WE ARE JUST DOING A PROJECTION. IT IS GOING TO VARY BY GRADE

LEVEL, NEVER EXCEEDING 2100. >> THAT WAS IT.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. GOOD LUCK.

>> THANK YOU. DEREK?

>> THANK YOU. ALSO, THANK EVERYONE AGAIN FOR COMING OUT. WE APPRECIATE IT WHEN WE SEE PEOPLE GETTING INVOLVED AND VOICING THEIR OPINIONS.

A LOT OF MY QUESTIONS HAVE BEEN ASKED, KEEP THEM SHORT.

>> I AM LAST. >> THAT'S TRUE.

MOST OF MY QUESTIONS HAD TO DO WITH THE SQUARE FOOTAGE.

JOEL HIT ON A LOT OF THAT. I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE IN THE CITY GET CONFUSED BY THE ROUNDABOUTS.

IF NEED BE COME I KNOW CURRENTLY FROM TIME TO TIME THERE IS A BSO DEPUTY ON THAT CORNER WITH THE CROSSING GUARDS HELPING NAVIGATE, IF THAT TURNS INTO AN ISSUE, WOULD THAT STILL BE IN EFFECT WITH THE ROUNDABOUT TO KEEP PEOPLE MOVING? THEY STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROUNDABOUT?

>> SO THE IDEA RIGHT NOW IS THE CONDITION IS GOING TO REMAIN AS IS AND THE DEPUTY WILL BE AT THE INTERSECTION OF HILLSBORO AND UNIVERSITY, THAT IS A REQUIREMENT.

THE LANGUAGE IN THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT IS AFTER COMPLETION OF THE ROUNDABOUT, WE WILL HAVE TO COORDINATE WITH BS OH,, AND THEY WILL DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT THEY STILL NEED TO BE THERE,

ESSENTIALLY, RIGHT, CAITLIN? >> MY OTHER QUESTIONS AROUND CONSTRUCTION AND TIMING. BASICALLY END OF SCHOOL 27 AND YOU ARE LOOKING AT A YEAR -- IS THAT A YEAR FOR ALL THREE

PHASES? >> NO, EACH PHASE IS ANTICIPATED TO BE IN SUBSEQUENT YEARS, ESSENTIALLY, SO A YEAR, START THE NEXT -- I THINK THIS IS WHAT YOU WERE ASKING ME EARLIER. GIVEN WHAT YOU SEE HERE IS GOING TO VARY SLIGHTLY SO WE WILL PROBABLY NEED TO REGROUP AFTER THIS A LITTLE BIT. GIVEN THE PROCESS THAT WE ARE IN AND WHERE WE ARE HERE TODAY, IN APRIL AND STILL GOING THROUGH, AND IF ALL GOES WELL, WE DO GET APPROVAL ON THIS FROM THE COMMISSION, IT WON'T BE UNTIL PROBABLY NOT ENOUGH TIME TO SUBMIT FOR PERMITS, TO GET PERMITS AND BUILD ACCORDING TO THAT SCHEDULE, SO IT IS VERY POSSIBLE EVERYTHING MIGHT BE MOE BACK. THAT IS WHY WE TALKED ABOUT THE TIME FRAME ASSOCIATED WITH THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE ROUNDABOUT,

AS WELL. >> OKAY.

AND EACH PHASE, YOU ARE ANTICIPATING SUMMER THROUGH F FALL? SUMMER THROUGH FALL...

>> SO TYPICALLY, HOPEFULLY SCHOOL ENDS, AND WE START RIGHT AFTER SCHOOL ENDS, TAKE ADVANTAGE OF LET'S JUST CALL THE BEGINNING, WHILE THERE IS NO STUDENTS ON CAMPUS.

WE DID ALL OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE, SO PRETTY MUCH WHAT WE HAVE OUT THERE, WHAT YOU SEE HERE -- IT IS JUST VERTICAL CONSTRUCTION. ALL OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE IS ALREADY DONE. BECAUSE WE ARE NOT OBVIOUSLY REARRANGING OR REPURPOSING ANY EXISTING PARKING AREAS, PARKING IS BEING ADDED, THERE IS NO LAND DEVELOPMENT GOING ON, NOTHING BEING BROUGHT IN, ANY OF THAT, THERE ARE PATHS THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN DONE, THE INFRASTRUCTURE, VERTICAL ON EACH

ONE OF THOSE AREAS. >> GOTCHA.

THE TYPE OF CONSTRUCTION, THE INITIAL WAS STILL WALL?

>> ARE WE GOING TO BE ABLE TO DO ALL OF THE PHASES, THE GYM?

PERHAPS ONE -- >> OTHER PHASES.

>> BRICK AND MORTAR. >> OKAY.

YEAH, THE ONLY REASON I WAS GOING, IF YOU ARE GOING WITH CONVENTIONAL CONSTRUCTION, YOU WILL HAVE A LOT OF THE ROOM.

A LOT OF MY CONCERN IS ACTUAL, WE BELABORED THE PARKING FOR THE SCHOOL AND THE FACULTY. I AM A COMMERCIAL CONSTRUCTION BUILDER, AS WELL. MY BRAIN GOES TO CONSTRUCTION PARKING. IN THAT TIGHT AREA.

[02:15:01]

BUT IF YOU ARE DOING CONVENTIONAL, YOU SHOULD BE ALL RIGHT. WHEN YOU GET TO THIRD PHASE YOU MIGHT RUN INTO SOME ISSUES BUT THAT WILL BE YEARS DOWN THE ROAD, WHERE HOPEFULLY YOU CAN WORK THAT OUT.

>> STAFF HAS BEEN VERY DILIGENT ABOUT WHERE OUR LAYDOWN AREAS ARE GOING TO BE. STAFF HAS BEEN VERY, VERY RESPONSIBLE ON MAKING SURE WHERE THE PARKING IS GOING TO BE FOR THOSE CONSTRUCTION WORKERS, AND OBVIOUSLY I ALREADY EXPLAINED THAT FROM A SAFETY AND SECURITY STANDPOINT, WE HAVE A DIRECTOR, 27 YEAR VETERAN WHO RETIRED, HE IS THE HEAD OF SAFETY AND SECURITY, SO THAT IS ONE OF THE THINGS HE HAS DONE AND WORKING VERY DILIGENTLY WITH THE PLANNERS AND STAFF AND SHERIFF AND EVERYONE TO MAKE SURE THAT IS ADDRESSED.

>> OKAY, PERFECT. WE TALKED ABOUT STUDENTS.

I DON'T WANT TO SEE CONSTRUCTION PEOPLE PARKING AT PUBLIX AND

THEN WALKING TO -- >> NO, THEY WILL WANT TO PARK AS

CLOSE AS POSSIBLE. >> THANKS.

>> CAITLIN? >> TO THAT POINT, AS THE APPLICANT TEAM MENTIONED, WE ASKED TO COORDINATE SEVERAL TIMES WITH OUR BOARDING OFFICIAL, EXACTLY WHAT YOU SAID, TILT WALL OR CONCRETE BLOCK AND ALL THE STAGING, SO --

>> VETTED ALL OF THIS. >> HE HAS CHATTED AND ALSO AS A CONDITION OF APPROVAL REQUIRED TO COORDINATE WITH BSO TO ENSURE THEY ARE COMFORTABLE WITH THE SECURITY THROUGHOUT

CONSTRUCTION. >> THAT'S ALL I HAVE, MR. CHAIRMAN. THANK YOU.

ALEX. TOO.

FABIO. >> APPRECIATE EVERYBODY COMING OUT FOR THIS. I KNOW IT IS A LONG NIGHT SO HOPEFULLY JUST A COUPLE QUESTIONS.

WOULD YOU MIND BRINGING BACK UP THE STAGING PLAN FOR CONSTRUCTION SHOWING THE THREE BUILDING PHASES? WHERE YOU ACTUALLY HAVE THE BUILDING FOOTPRINTS.

THAT IS PHASE ONE, CORRECT? THAT IS BUILDING C?

GO BACK TO THAT ONE. >> HERE?

>> 31. IF I AM UNDERSTANDING CORRECTLY, EACH BUILDING, THE INTENT, I UNDERSTAND RIGHT NOW, YOU GUYS HAVE GOTTEN YOUR DETERMINATION LETTER FOR THE PLAT NOTE YET OR

NOT YET? >> THE WAY THE PROCESS WORKS IS IT GETS APPROVED BY THE CITY AND THEN APPROVED BY THE COUNTY.

WE HAVE GONE THROUGH REVIEW AND ANALYSIS.

>> YOU HAVE DONE YOUR PRE-APPLICATION PROCESS WITH BROWARD COUNTY? THAT IS ALREADY DONE?

>> YES. >> SO WITH RESPECT TO GETTING THE PLAT NOTE APPROVED, CURRENTLY WITH THE CITY OF PARKLAND, ONCE THAT IS APPROVED YOU WILL RUN FOR BUILDING PERMIT. THE INTENT IS FOR THIS BUILDING, UNDERSTANDING YOU MIGHT NOT GO IN THE SUMMER OF '27, SUMMER OF '28, YOU ARE SEEING BUILDING C WILL BE ERECTED AND CONSTRUCTED IN THREE MONTHS, IS THAT WHAT I'M UNDERSTANDING?

>> A YEAR. >> ONE YEAR.

>> ONE YEAR. SO YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE THAT STAGING OF CONSTRUCTION IN PLACE FOR A YEAR WHILE THE SCHOOL IS

OPEN? >> THAT BUILDING WILL BE CONSTRUCTED -- CONSTRUCTION TIMELINE 10-12 MONTHS IS WHAT I

REPRESENTED TO THE BUILD. >> START OF CONSTRUCTION, FOUR MONTHS OUT OF SCHOOL, THE REMAINDER OF THE BALANCE OF

CONSTRUCTION DURING SCHOOL? >> YES, SIR,.

>> THE FOLLOWING SUMMER, BUILDING D?

10-12 MONTHS. >> GOD WILLING IF THE ENROLLMENT IS THERE AND EVERYTHING COME ABSOLUTELY.

>> OKAY, AND YOU GUYS ARE TALKING ABOUT THE ROUNDABOUT.

SO IS THE CONDITION OF APPROVAL FOR THE SITE PLAN CONCURRENT THAT THE ROUNDABOUT HAS TO BE APPROVED BY THE COUNTY AND PERMITTED AT THE SAME TIME AS THE BUILDING PERMIT OR DOES IT

COME AFTER THE FACT? >> SO THEY HAVE TO -- LET ME JUST GET THE SPECIFIC TIME FRAMES THAT WE HAVE DISCUSSED.

NOW I AM HAVING IT ISSUES SO GIVE ME A SECOND.

PULL UP THE AGREEMENT, CAITLIN. IS THIS THE LATEST VERSION? YEAH, SO THE APPLICANT WOULD BE REQUIRED TO SUBMIT THE NECESSARY PERMITTING APPLICATION FOR CONSTRUCTION OF THE ROUNDABOUT TO BOTH THE CITY AND THE COUNTY PRIOR TO THE ISSUANCE OF ANY BUILDING PERMIT IN RELATION TO THE EXPANSION.

>> WAS THE INTENDED -- >> I'M SORRY, NO PROBLEM.

THE NEXT STEP IS TO SECURE ALL THE NECESSARY PERMITS FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE ROUNDABOUT PRIOR TO THE ISSUANCE OF THE CEO FOR PHASE ONE OF THE EXPANSION. THEN WHAT WE HAVE DISCUSSED IS THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE ROUNDABOUT WOULD BE COMPLETED AROUND SIX MONTHS AFTER THE ISSUANCE OF THE NECESSARY PERMITS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF THE ROUNDABOUT BUT THE CITY MANAGER DOES HAVE THE ABILITY TO EXTEND THAT TIME FRAME IF IT DOESN'T FALL, FOR EXAMPLE, RIGHT WHERE IT NEEDS TO BE WITH THE

[02:20:03]

I THINK THE CONCEPT IS IT WOULD BE COMPLETED AND IN PLACE, CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, IT WOULD BE COMPLETED AND IN PLACE PRIOR TO THAT MAJOR RAMP UP THAT THEY SHOWED ON THE SCHEDULE AND PRIOR TO COMPLETION OF PHASE TWO?

IS THAT RIGHT? >> SO THE IDEA HERE IS WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT WE CURRENTLY HAVE A CAPACITY OF 1280 STUDENTS AND 98,000 SQUARE FEET. WE CAN BUILD BUILDING C WITHOUT A ROUNDABOUT. BRIAN WAS TALKING ABOUT THE TRAFFIC ANALYSIS BEFORE. IN ORDER TO ENSURE WE ARE MOVING IN THE DIRECTION OF GETTING THE ROUNDABOUT CONSTRUCTION, THERE ARE OBLIGATIONS ON US TO SUBMIT FOR A PERMIT WITHIN A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME AND OBTAIN THE PERMIT IN A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME. BY THE TIME WE GO OVER 1280 AND ADD THAT ADDITIONAL BUILDING, THE ROUNDABOUT IS IN PLACE.

>> FOR CLARIFICATION, THE ROUNDABOUT HAS TO BE COMPLETELY CONSTRUCTED PRIOR TO THE SECOND BUILDING?

IS THAT CORRECT? >> IT DOESN'T EXPLICITLY READ THAT WAY YET, BUT I THINK IT COULD READ THAT WAY.

I THINK IT IS ACTUALLY CALLED FOR EVEN A LITTLE EARLIER BUT CONTEMPLATING THAT, IT MIGHT NOT FALL --

>> INTENDED -- >> THE SUMMER PRIOR TO THAT MAJOR RAMP UP FOR THE PHASE TWO BUILDING.

>> AND THE ABSOLUTE WORST OUTSIDE DATE PRIOR TO PHASE TWO.

BUT THE IDEA, THE WAY THE LANGUAGE IS DRAFTED RIGHT NOW, IF ALL WORKS OUT AND THE TIMING WORKS OUT, IT WILL BE DONE SOON.

>> WHAT HAPPENS IF IT IS DELAYED? THE B BUILDING GETS DELAYED UNTIL THE ROUNDABOUT IS

COMPLETED? >> YES, AND WE DO HAVE THE ABILITY TO WITHHOLD PERMITS IF THEY ARE NOT WITH THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, ET CETERA.

>> THE STACKING INTERIOR? SORRY, APOLOGIES.

BRING UP -- IF I AM UNDERSTANDING CORRECTLY, RIGHT NOW, YOU HAVE 180 VEHICLES FOR VEHICLES CURRENTLY, CORRECT?

WE. >> CORRECT.

>> EXTENDING THAT, THE BARRIER, 234, CORRECT?

>> CORRECT, WE ARE ALSO EXTENDING THE STACKING TO THE WEST. IF YOU LOOK AT THE OLD SITE, THE EXISTING SITE PLAN, OUR STACKING DOES NOT GO AS FAR WEST SO WE ARE ADDING ADDITIONAL STACKING STAGES TO THE NORTH PART OF THE

>> INCREASED FROM 188 TO 238. REMOVING THE JERSEY BARRIER YOU HAVE A DOUBLE STACKED LANE FOR DROP OFF AND PICK UP, IS THAT

CORRECT? >> YES, SIR,.

>> HOW DOES BETWEEN THE BSO AND THE SCHOOL, THE METHODOLOGY AND THE PROGRAM OF SAFETY FOR THE STUDENTS, TRYING TO UNDERSTAND

THAT. >> THIS IS DONE IN VARIOUS OTHER SCHOOLS, ACADEMIC AND SOMERSET'S, WORKED WITH SEVERAL OTHER SCHOOLS THAT HAVE DONE IT, BY PROXIMITY, THERE IS ONE JUST TO THE NORTH ON HAMADK ROAD THAT IS TECHNICALLY WEST PALM BEACH COUNTY THAT HAS A MULTI-LANE DROP OFF, SO THE INTENT OF IT IS THERE OUR STAFF MEMBERS THAT ASSIST THE PARENTS, EXIST TO STUDENTS TO WALK ACROSS SO THE SAFETY IS MAINTAINED, THIS IS DONE AT A NUMBER OF LOCATIONS. A LOT OF TIMES IT MAY NOT BE NECESSARY THAT SIMPLY ONE LANE MAY BE SUFFICIENT AND THE SCHOOL MAY DECIDE, MORNING DROP OFF, WE ONLY HAVE THIS MANY STUDENTS COMING IN AT ONE TIME, THERE IS A "NO" ISSUE, JUST EASIER TO DO ONE LANE BUT WE ARE FLEXIBLE TO DO TWO LANES SO THE HEAVIER TIMES WHEN THERE IS MORE STUDENTS, PARTICULARLY WHEN PICKUP, PICKUP TENDS TO BE THE SLOWER PROCESS, AND THAT IS WHEN THE QUEUE BUILDS UP, AVAILABLE O DO IT THEN.

PROVIDE FLEXIBILITY WHEN IT IS DONE, A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT SCHOOLS HAVE DONE IT AND IT HAS WORKED OUT WELL, FRANKLY I HAVE SEEN MORE THAN TWO LANES, SCHOOLS THAT HAVE DONE THREE LANES AND IT HAS WORKED OUT PRETTY WELL.

>> THANK YOU. COMMEND THE APPLICANT FOR THEIR PRESENTATION AND OUR STAFF AND ALL THE HARD WORK THAT GOES INTO, NOBODY SEES IT BUT WE APPRECIATE IT.

AT THE END OF THE DAY, BASED ON OUR QUESTIONS, WHEN AN APPLICANT COMES BEFORE US, GOING THROUGH THE PROCESS, THE COMMISSION, WE END UP WITH A BETTER END PRO PRODUCT.

>> I DO HAVE SOME QUESTIONS.

I WAS GOING TO ASK TO BRING UP THE SLIDE.

GREEN, LOWER GREEN STACKING. AS THE EMBLEM OF THE CARS, BLACK

[02:25:03]

>> THAT IS 32, GIVE OR TAKE. THAT IS THE DROP OFF, PICKUP

AREAS. >> THE DOUBLE LANE.

>> CORRECT. >> WE HAVE GONE THROUGH TONIGHT OUR QUESTIONS WITH YOUR APPLICATION AND PRESENTATION, VA, B, C, AND D, AND WE HAVE EXERCISED ALL OF OUR QUESTIONS, AND THERE MAY BE A COUPLE MORE QUESTIONS.

I THINK THAT WE HAVE ANSWERED THE STAGGERING OF YOUR START TIMES WITH YOUR TRAFFIC STUDY AND TRAFFIC PLAN TO MITIGATE A LOT OF QUESTIONS THAT HAVE COME BEFORE US, AND WE HAVE BEEN OUT IN DISCUSSIONS, AND I THINK YOU HAVE MET, IN MY OPINION, ALL OF THOSE ISSUES, AND THE FACT THAT BEING HERE BEFORE AND YOUR APPLICATION ORIGINALLY, AND HAVING THE PRODUCT AND THE CONSTRUCTION, IT WORKED. THE THEORY IS TO CONTINUE IT.

IT IS EXPANSION OF A GREAT AMOUNT OF AREA, GREAT AMOUNT OF CONSTRUCTION IN A SMALL AREA, BUT I THINK BASED ON OPERATIONAL STANDARDS, IT WILL WORK. AND YOU HAVE PROVEN IT THROUGH OTHER FACILITIES THROUGHOUT FLORIDA AND THE COUNTRY.

THE... I THINK I SAW ONE OR TWO QUESTIONS. AFTER THAT, I'M GOING TO OPEN IT UP TO THE PUBLIC. I WILL MAKE A COMMENT BEFORE WE

DO THAT, AS WELL. >> MAY BE FOR YOU.

JUST SO I'M CLEAR, THEY CAN BUILD, RIGHT NOW,ISH B, FINISH C, FINISH G, THEY CAN GO BUILD THOSE BUILDINGS RIGHT NOW,

WITHOUT US? >> NO, YOU WOULD NEED TO GRANT A

SITE PLAN APPROVAL. >> JUST A SITE PLAN APPROVAL,

THAT WOULD BE IT? >> AS LONG AS THE TOTALS ARE WITHIN THE APPROVED -- SO FOR THE MASTER PLAN IT IS THE 110,000 SQUARE FEET, FOR THE PLAT IT IS THE 100, THEN THEY WOULD BE AMENDING PRIMARILY THE SITE PLAN AND THE CAB AND AS LONG AS THEY WERE WITHIN THE ENROLLMENT LIMITATIONS AND OTHER LIMITATIONS OF THE PREVIOUS APPROVAL THEN THEY WOULD COME IN FOR A MUCH MORE LIMITED APPLICATION.

>> JUST TO GET THEY COULD BUILD UP TO 100 RIGHT NOW?

>> 100 PER THE PLAT NOTE, 110 PER OTHER DOCUMENTS.

SOME ARE LIMITING. >> O IS THE UNDERLYING ASK REALLY TO SWITCH TO K-12? IS THAT JOEL KIND OF BROUGH UP THE SQUARE FOOTAGE. IS THE MAIN THING THEY ARE TRYING TO DO TONIGHT, CHANGE FROM K-8 TO K-12 AND GET PARKLAND TO APPROVE IT FIRST AND THEN GO TO BROWARD COUNTY

SCHOOLS? >> IT IS MULTIFACETED BASED ON THE PREVIOUS APPROVALS. SO THE PREVIOUS APPROVALS LIMITED THE SCHOOL TO K-8 AND 1280 STUDENTS.

AND IT ALSO HAD THE SQUARE FOOTAGE THAT WAS A PART OF THE ORIGINAL SITE PLAN, SO IT IS KIND OF THREE PARTS, THEY ARE ASKING TO GO K-8 TO K-12, ASKING ENROLLMENT INCREASE AND SQUARE FOOTAGE INCREASE, AS WELL. [INDISTINCT]

>> THEY ARE GOING FROM KGATE TO K-12.

THEY ARE GOING FROM 1280 STUDENTS TO 2100 STUDENTS.

AND THEY ARE ASKING TO GO TO INCREASE FROM THE PREVIOUS SITE PLAN APPROVALS TO WHAT THEY ARE ASKING FOR NOW WHICH IS 125,000 SQUARE FEET AND CHANGE, NOTING SOME OF THE APPLICATIONS HAVE THAT BUFFER BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO COME BACK AND DO SEVEN APPLICATIONS AGAIN, THEY COULD JUST COME IN FOR SITE PLAN

AMENDMENT AND CAP AT THAT POINT. >> LET'S SAY THEY DON'T GET APPROVED BY THE STATE.ROVALS THT WE PROVIDED? COULD THEY STILL EXPAND THEIR K THROUGH EIGHT?

>> TALKING ABOUT THE CHARTER APPROVAL? PRESUMABLY THEY COULD NOT EXPAND PAST K-8, NO.

>> THEY COULD EXPAND THEIR K-8 OFFERING?

>> THE FOOTPRINT? >> YES.

>> THEY WOULD STILL NEED TO COME IN FOR AN AMENDED SITE PLAN BECAUSE THEY NEVER BUILD THE COMPONENTS OF THAT SITE PLAN.

>> MY NEXT QUESTION WAS GOING TO BE WHAT DOES OUR SITE PLAN APPROVAL PERIOD, IS THAT 18 MONTHS?

>> I BELIEVE SO. >> 18.

>> SO THAT MEANS THEIR SITE PLAN.

[INDISTINCT] THEY DON'T HAVE TO BUILD IT ALL.

>> TYPICAL ACRE PER STUDENT, JUST BACK TO WEARING AN EXTRA SMALL SHIRT. IS THERE A STANDARD FOR A K-12

[02:30:02]

>> EVERY CAMPUS IS UNIQUE AND DIFFERENT.

SUMMERSIDE CHAPEL TRAIL, WHERE MY SONS HAVE GONE TO SCHOOL, AND I HAVE ONE IN COLLEGE NOW AND THE OTHER ONE LEAVING SOON, IT S 2900 STUDENTS ON 11 ACRES. 15 ACRES.

WE HAVE ANOTHER ONE, PINE CREST GLADES ON 1/52 AND EIGHTH, ALSO K-12, 10 ACRES, 3000 STUDENTS APPROVED THERE.

AGAIN, DEPENDING ON THE BUILDINGS, TWO STORIES, THREE STORIES, ONE OF THE SAME QUESTIONS THAT WE HEARD, THAT ALLOWS US TO BE ABLE TO DO IT. OPERATIONALLY, WE CONFIRM AND GO THROUGH A LOT OF INTERNAL PLANNING TO MAKE SURE IT IS GOING TO WORK AND WE WORK WITH NOT ONLY THE PRINCIPAL OF THE SCHOOL, BUT EXPERIENCED PRINCIPALS WE BRING IN AND HAVE CONVERSATIONS WITH THEM TO MAKE SURE THAT OPERATIONAL WORKS.

AT THE END OF THE DAY WE ARE A SCHOOL OF CHOICE.

OF DROP OFF AND PICKUP ISN'T WORKING, PARENTS WILL CHOOSE TO GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. IF THE BUILDINGS AREN'T WORKING OR STUDENT EXPERIENCE IS NOT POSITIVE, THEY WILL GO TO ANOTHER SCHOOL, SO WE HAVE TO COMPETE AND MAKE SURE WE ARE PROVIDING THE VERY BEST

>> THANK YOU. DOES A CITY HAD REQUIREMENT, DO WE HAVE ANYTHING IN OUR CODE TO SAY STUDENTS PER ACRE, SQUARE FOOTAGE PER PARKING SPACE? WE HAVE NOTHING?

>> THERE IS NO ALLOWANCE FOR THE CITY TO REGULATE THAT TYPE --

>> AS MUCH AS I'M AGAINST CHARTER SCHOOLS, IT'S A THING

THAT THEY ARE HAPPENING. >> SO MY LAST QUESTION, MR. CHAIR, WAS IF I WAS IN FAVOR OF THE SITE PLAN AND I WAS IN FAVOR OF THIS BUT WASN'T IN FAVOR OF THE K-12, HOW IS THIS BROKEN UP? WE HAVE --

>> I'M GOING TO ANSWER THAT AND I'LL HAVE ANTHONY EXPOUND MY ANSWER TO YOU. MY ANSWER IS THAT YOU ARE GOING TO BE AMENDING, EACH ITEM REFERS TO VARIOUS, OBVIOUS A SITE PLAN, BUT BASED ON THE APPROVAL FOR EXPANDING, I THINK IT'S TWO OF THE ORDINANCE IS AFFECTED BY THAT SPECIFICALLY.

IT IS THE A, MASTER PLAN BECAUSE YOU ARE INCREASING THE SQUARE FOOTAGE. IT MIGHT BE THREE OR THE PLAT NOTE AFFECTS IT. ANTHONY, COME FROM WHAT I JUST

DATED PLEASE. >> I DON'T KNOW IF I DO IT ON A AND B. IF THAT'S THE COMPONENT I'M AGAINST POTENTIALLY NO. SO C WOULD PROBABLY BE WHERE THAT WOULD BE WITH THE SPECIAL EXCEPTION.

>> THE REST OF THE BOARD IS GOOD.

>> THE COMMUNITY APPEARANCE BOARD, WITH THAT BEING SAID, THE AGREEMENT DOES TOUCH ON THAT ISSUE.

>> IT ALL TIES TO THE BROWARD COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD APPROVAL. STILL NEEDS BROWARD COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD APPROVAL. THEY STILL NEED TO MEET FLORIDA NEW BUILDING CODE FOR SAFE SCHOOLS AND ALL THIS.

>> THAT'S CORRECT. THEY HAVE TO BUILD THE SCHOOL AND ONE THING THAT WAS NOT DISCUSSED TOO MUCH IS TALKING ABOUT THE NEW ENROLLMENT CAP OF 2100 BUT THERE IS ALSO A BUFFER WE BUILT IN VERY SIMILAR TO HOW THE ORIGINAL SCHOOL WAS DONE.

THEY DON'T GET TO JUST GO TO THE 2100.

YOU SEE THE OPERATIONAL PLAN BUT YOU SEE THE MONTHLY AND ANNUAL MONTHLY REPORTING REQUIREMENTS AND YOU NEED TO HAVE NO ACTION FINDINGS FOR MULTIPLE YEARS BEFORE YOU GET ABOVE.

WE HAVE A MIDWAY CAP OF 1700 SO THESE THINGS ARE REVIEWED PERIODICALLY AND YOU DO NOT GET TO GO ABOVE 1700 UNTIL YOU HAVE THOSE FINDINGS AND I'M SURE THOSE WOULD BE REVIEWED BY OUR

TRAFFIC ENGINEERS AS WELL. >> THANK YOU TO THE STAFF.

GREAT. THANK YOU.

>> I HAVE ONE MORE... GO AHEAD.

>> I JUST WANT TO SEE THE SIZABLE HIGH SCHOOL.

WHAT IS GOING TO BE AT THE END, WILL BE THE SIZABLE MEMBER?

IS IT SIX SOMETHING -- >> A LITTLE OVER 600 FOR THE

HIGH SCHOOL, CORRECT. >> [INDISTINCT] I CERTAINLY UNDERSTAND THAT PARENTS, THAT THEY WANT TO BE RIGHT AT THAT SAME SCHOOL. AND THE BENEFIT TO THAT.

[02:35:04]

>> TO YOUR POINT, THAT'S MY CONCERN.

>> I CERTAINLY UNDERSTAND AS WELL BECAUSE I UNDERSTAND THE NEEDS AND WANTS. MY CONCERN IS THE SPACING.

THE SMALL SPACE, ESSENTIALLY GREAT SPACE.

BUT A LOT OF TIMES WE ARE COMING IN THE SITUATIONS WHERE WE ARE ASKING FOR EVERYTHING. HAS THERE BEEN ANY DISCUSSION ABOUT THE POTENTIAL OF DECREASING THE OVERALL NUMBER.

THEY'LL BE LESS WITH THE FOOTPRINT, HALF OF THE DISCUSSION, THE STAFF WITH THAT AS WELL.

>> I KNOW THAT. >> IF THAT CAMPUS DOESN'T WORK, PEOPLE WON'T GO THERE AND THEY'LL HAVE LESS NUMBERS.

>> WE SHOULD CONCENTRATE ON THE APPLICATION.

NOT THE WHAT-IFS. >> IT'S NOT THE WHAT-IFS.

IT'S NOT THE BUYER BEWARE, IT'S THE REALITY OF THE SITUATION THAT WE AS A PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD.

PARKLAND IS A CERTAIN THING AND WE WANT TO KEEP IT A CERTAIN W WAY. WE ARE VERY LASER FOCUSED ON PARKS, GREEN SPACES, AND BUILDING A BRAND-NEW PARK IN THE OTHER CORNER. RIGHT? THAT'S A REALLY BIG DEAL. THIS IS NOT THAT.

THIS IS ACTUALLY THE OPPOSITE OF THAT SO I DO NOT THINK IT'S BUYER BEWARE. I UNDERSTAND IT'S BUYER BEWARE ONLY 34 PARKING SPOTS FOR 600 AND HALF OF THEM WILL BE DRIVING IN THE 600 SIZE HIGH SCHOOL. SO THAT TO ME IS BUYER BEWARE.

BUT I THINK THE SIZE OF IT AND WHAT IT'S GOING TO LOOK LIKE, I

THINK, IS SOMEWHAT PROBLEMATIC. >> INTERNALLY WE HAVE A LOT OF DISCUSSION AND THE NUMBER THAT PRINCIPAL CASTRO USED TO OFFER THE HIGH SCHOOL EXPERIENCE AND TO BE OFFERING THE OFFERINGS OF HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS AND THEIR PARENTS WANT, THERE ARE MINIMUMS AND MAXIMUMS. KNOWING AND THOSE WHO WERE HERE ARE SEVEN OR EIGHT YEARS AGO YOU WERE IN THE AUDIENCE KNOWING EXACTLY WHAT WAS GOING TO BE THE STEP IN THE PROCESS.

THE SCHOOL HAS BEEN WELCOMED AND WE HAVE A CHALLENGES.

WHICH HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO ATTENTION OR HAVE RECOGNIZE THERE'S ISSUES AND ADOPTED TO THEM.

THEY'VE GONE AND FIX THEM. THERE ARE CERTAIN MINIMUMS. WE DIDN'T COME IN ASKING AND HEARD ME THE AMOUNT HAVING MOST OF OUR K-12 CAMPUSES. DORAL IS 43,000 STUDENTS ON A SIMILAR FOOTPRINT. IDEALLY IF WE WOULD HAVE A HIGH SCHOOL AND I FORGET TO MENTION ABOUT HAVING A FULL SPORTS PROGRAM AND SO FORTH, WE'D BE LOOKING AT 20 ACRES AND COMING HERE ASKING FOR 3500 STUDENTS.

TO BE ABLE TO MAKE IT WORK. TO BE ABLE TO FIELD A FOOTBALL TEAM AND A BASEBALL TEAM, YOU'LL NEED TO HAVE THAT MASSIVE STUDENTS TO DO THAT TYPE OF ACTIVITY.

>> OUR MIDDLE SCHOOL IS RELATIVELY SMALL, WE DO NOT HAVE THE ENROLLMENT TO OFFER A PLETHORA OF ELECTIVES.

THEY ARE VERY LIMITED. TO PROVIDE THEM A FULL HIGH SCHOOL EXPERIENCE. AS CLOSE TO IT, I KNOW FOOTBALL AND WE DON'T HAVE THE SPACING FOR TACKLE FOOTBALL TEAM BUT IT DOESN'T MEAN THERE AREN'T OTHER OPPORTUNITIES PRINT OUR MIDDLE SCHOOLERS ARE CURRENTLY TAKING DUAL ENROLLMENT CLASSES ALREADY. I WANT TO BE ABLE TO SEE THEM FINISH THAT THROUGH WITH NOT JUST THEIR HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA BUT WITH THEIR BACHELOR'S DEGREE ALREADY IN HIGH SCHOOL.

BY HAVING A DECENT NUMBER OF STUDENTS ON CAMPUS.

AND ALLOWS TO BE MORE FLEXIBLE WHEN IT COMES TO THEIR SCHEDULES. THEY ARE HERE BECAUSE SOME OF THEIR STUDENTS, LIKE I SAID THE MIDDLE SCHOOLERS HAVE LIMITED

[02:40:02]

THEY FEEL THEY HAVE A HOME. EVERYBODY KNOWS THEM BY NAME AND FOR SOME FAMILIES THAT'S IMPORTANT.

THAT'S WHAT THEY WANT. >> I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT THE K-12 THING. IS THAT SOMETHING SHOULD BE FOR US TO CONSIDER. I'M THING ABOUT THE RIGHT TH THINGS. IF I GO THERE I DON'T WANT HAVE

MY KID TO GO THERE. >> I THINK GENERALLY...

>> I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND FOR MYSELF.

THAT'S A FAIR QUESTION. I THINK THERE IS SOME REFERENCE IN ITEM C TO CERTAIN CONDITIONS THAT DEAL WITH IT.

DOES IT COMPLY WITH THE CODE, ISN'T IT CONSISTENT, DO THEY MEET THE COMPATIBILITY REQUIREMENTS FOR SPECIAL EXCEPTION? THOSE ARE THE THINGS THAT YOU SHOULD BE FOCUSED ON AND I'D RECOMMEND THAT YOU VOTE BASED ON

THOSE ITEMS. >> WITH THAT BEING SAID I WAS ACTUALLY GOING TO ASK OUR DESIGN -- JUST TO COME UP FOR 45 SECONDS BECAUSE WE NORMALLY RELATE WELL ON THE AESTHETICS AND ABOUT ABILITY AND SINCE IT IS AN EXISTING FACILITY AND IT'S BEING EXPANDED AND, YES, THE DOCUMENTED PLANS WERE PRESENTED, JUST SAY YOUR REVIEW AND WHETHER OR NOT IT DOES MEET THE CRITERIA BASED -- IS IT -- DO WE AGREE? IS IT COUNTRY, CLASSIC, ELEGANT?

>> GOOD EVENING, MR. CHAR, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.

BRIAN HERBERT, CITY PARK AND DESIGNS DD RP REVIEWING THE ARCHITECTURAL AND COMPATIBILITY OF THE PROJECT.

FIRST AND FOREMOST, I'D LIKE TO COMMEND THE APPLICANT FOR HAVING A NUMBER OF MEETINGS WITH US AND ABIDING BY ALMOST EVERY ONE OF OUR COMMENTS. THEY WERE VERY WILLING TO ACCEPT COMMENTS AND CRITICISMS THAT WE DID HAVE.

TO MAKE MY PRESENTATION SHORT, YES, IT DOES COMPLY WITH THE COMPATIBILITY ELEMENTS WE LOOK AT FOR THE ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW.

IT IS CONSISTENT WITH THE COMMUNITY APPEARANCE BOARD SECTIONS WITH IN REFERENCE TO MATERIALS, FORMS, SO FORTH.

THIS EXPANSION REALLY DOESN'T AFFECT ANYTHING NECESSARILY THE VIEWS EITHER HILLSBORO OR THE UNIVERSITY BUILDING, THOSE ARE IN PLACE OR AT LEAST HAVE A ROOF OVER THEM.

SO REALLY THE ARCHITECTURAL ELEMENTS ARE TOWARDS THE REAR OR TO THE NORTH OF THE PROPERTY. AND ON THOSE SPECIFICALLY ARCHITECTURAL ELEMENTS WERE ADDED AT OUR REQUEST TO MAKE SPECIFICALLY THE VIEW FROM THE LAKE MORE COMPATIBLE.

A NUMBER OF WINDOW ELEMENTS WERE ADDED.

THAT SOMETHING US AT STAFF WERE ADAMANT ABOUT AND THEY DID SO.

AND YES, IN SHORT. I'M HAPPY WITH WHAT THEY

PRESENTED. >> THANK YOU.

THAT CAME FULL CIRCLE TO ALL THE ELEMENTS.

I REALIZE WE DIDN'T REALLY DWELL ON THE AESTHETIC ASSET ELEMENT ASPECT OF IT. THIS TIME I'M GOING TO OPEN THE MEETING APPLICATION TO THE PUBLIC.

EACH PERSON THAT WISHES TO SPEAK, IT MAY BE ONE OR MORE, IF YOU DO, PLEASE COME UP WITH THE PODIUM AND WITH THE SUPPORT.

OR TELL MY FOR OR AGAINST THE APPLICATION.

COMMONLY PEOPLE ARE GOING TO SPEAK? ONE, TWO, 31 AT A TIME AND STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS IN THE MICROPHONE. IF YOU ARE INDIVIDUALS ARE GOING TO SPEAK AND SAY THE SAME THING YOU ARE WELCOME TO.

IF YOU ARE IN SUPPORT. >> MY NAME IS ALVA ANDREWS AND I

[02:45:04]

I DO NOT LIKE PUBLIC SPEAKING. GOOD EVENING.

I ARITY SAID MY NAME. I AM THE SCHOOL LIAISON FOR SOME IS ACADEMY. I AM A PROUD PARENT OF TWO DAUGHTERS AT SOMERSET. MY FAMILY WAS AMONG THE FIRST TO ENROLL WITH THE SCHOOL WHEN THEY OPEN.

AND WE'VE HAD AN INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE EVER SINCE.

OVER THE YEARS I'VE WATCHED MY CHILDREN AND SO MANY OTHERS GROW ACADEMICALLY, ATHLETICALLY AND SOCIALLY.

PROVIDES A SUPPORTIVE ENVIRONMENT WHERE STUDENTS ARE SEEN, CHALLENGE, AND ENCOURAGED HER TO SUCCEED.

ONE OF THE IMPORTANT REASONS FOR THAT IS THE SMALLER PERSONALIZED LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS. NOT EVERY CHILD THRIVES IN A LARGE SCHOOL SETTING AND IT'S IMPORTANT WE OFFER FAMILIES OPTIONS THAT MEET DIFFERENT LEARNING NEEDS BUT SOMERSET PROVIDES OPPORTUNITIES LIKE CAMBRIDGE PROGRAM AND DUAL ENROLLMENT TO ALLOW STUDENTS TO BEGIN EARNING COLLEGE CREDIT EARLY AND PREPARING THEM FOR LONG TERM SUCCESS.

THE SCHOOL OFFERS A WIDE RANGE OF ATHLETICS AND EXTRACURRICULARS ALONG WITH A STRONG DRAMA DEPARTMENT HELPING STUDENTS GROW AS WELL-ROUNDED INDIVIDUALS.

WHAT TRULY SET SOMERSET APART IS ITS SENSE OF COMMUNITY.

IT FEELS LIKE A FAMILY. STUDENTS, TEACHERS, PARENTS ALL KNOW EACH OTHER AND SUPPORT ONE ANOTHER.

EXPANDING TO INCLUDE A HIGH SCHOOL WILL ALLOW STUDENTS TO CONTINUE IN AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE THEY FEEL COMFORTABLE CONFIDENT AND SUPPORTED. MAKING AN IMPORTANT TRANSITION MUCH SMOOTHER. CHARTER SCHOOLS ALSO PROVIDE VIABLE EDUCATIONAL CHOICES FOR FAMILIES ESPECIALLY AT THE HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL WHERE STUDENTS PATHS CONTINUE TO TAKE SPACE, SUTHERLAND IS DEEPLY CONNECTED TO THE PARKLAND COMMUNITY.

WORKING WITH LOCAL BUSINESSES FOR FAMILIES TO BE INVOLVED IN WELCOME. I RESPECTFULLY ASK YOU TO SUPPORT THE EXPANSION OF SOMERSET ACADEMY TO INCLUDE A HIGH SCHOOL SO OUR STUDENTS CAN CONTINUE TO THRIVE IN AN ENVIRONMENT THAT IS ALREADY HELP THEM SUCCEED.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION.

>> THANK YOU. JUST WRITE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS

BOOK PLEASE. >> DO WE NEED THEM TO SIGN AND IF... OKAY.

>> YOU CAN WALK UP PLEASE. OKAY.

>> GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS JOSIE.

I LIVE IN PARKLAND PEERED SIX YEARS AGO I SAT AT THE SAME SIMILAR MEETING EXCITED ABOUT THE NEW CHARTER SCHOOL AND BELIEVING IN MRS. CASTRO'S VISION.

TODAY I'M PROUD TO BE A STAFF MEMBER AT SUMMERLIN PARK LINDA SOMERSET PARKLAND ACADEMY. MY SON WILL BE GRADUATING EIGHTH GRADE THIS YEAR WITH AN EXCEPTIONAL ACADEMIC PATH ALL THANKS TO THE AMAZING TEACHERS AND THE CURRICULUM OFFERED TO HIM AT SPA. THIS SCHOOL HAS MADE A REAL IMPACT ON OUR COMMUNITY. I HOPE THE EXPANSION MOVES FORWARD SO MANY KIDS, MY YOUNGEST CHILDREN INCLUDED CAN CONTINUE THROUGH HIGH SCHOOL IN THE SAME PLACE WE ALL LOVE.

THANK YOU. [APPLAUSE]

>> THANK YOU. ANYBODY ELSE.

>> I'LL GO FIRST. >> THANK YOU.

>> HI, THE AIR. MY NAME IS VANESSA WALLACE.

GOOD EVENING. AS I STATED, MY NAME IS VANESSA WALLACE AND I'M A PROUD PARENT AT SOMERSET PARKLAND ACADEMY.

I AM SPEAKING TO A FULL K-12 CAMPUS.

RIGHT NOW OUR SCHOOL GIVES MY CHILDREN SOMETHING YOU RARELY FIND IN PUBLIC EDUCATION. A SMALL PRIVATE SCHOOL FEEL ON A CHARTER SCHOOL BUDGET. THEY WEAR UNIFORMS AND SIT IN A SMALL CLASS WHERE THE TEACHERS KNOW THEIR NAMES AND EVERY SINGLE DEMONSTRATOR AND EVEN ONE OF OUR CUSTODIANS KNOW US BY NAME AND ALWAYS GREET US WITH A SMILE.

WE TRULY ARE A FAMILY. THAT PERSONAL TOUCH HAS MADE ALL THE DIFFERENCE IN MAKING MY CHILDREN FEEL SAFE AND TRULY CARED FOR. ADDING A HIGH SCHOOL AT THAT SAME CARING FAMILY ENVIRONMENT FOLLOWED HIM STRAIGHT THROUGH GRADUATION. THEY WILL NOT HAVE TO WALK IN A HUGE CROWD A BUILDING WHERE THEY ARE JUST ANOTHER FACE.

THEY'LL KEEP THEIR FRIENDS THEY'VE GROWN UP.

THE TEACHERS WHO ALREADY UNDERSTAND THEIR NAMES AND THE HIGH EXPECTATIONS THAT HAVE ALREADY HELP THEM SUCCEED.

PLUS THE SCHOOL'S LOCATION MEANS LESS TIME IN THE CAR AND MORE TIME ENJOYING OUR BIKE RIDES AND WALKS HOME.

THAT'S SOMETHING THAT BENEFITS THE ENTIRE CITY.

EVERY STUDENT WE SERVE AT THE HIGH SCHOOL IS ONE LESS STUDENT CROWDING ARE ALREADY BUSY PUBLIC HIGH SCHOOLS.

I WATCH MY CHILDREN FLOURISH. I WANT EVERY FAMILY WHO CHOOSES

[02:50:03]

>> THANK YOU. IS THERE ANYBODY ELSE WHO WISHES

TO SPEAK? >> THERE YOU GO.

>> YOU CAN OPEN IT. >> HI.

MY NAME IS AVA AND I'M IN SECOND GRADE AT SOMERSET.

I LOVE MY TEACHERS AT SCHOOL. I GET TO BE IN THE SAME SCHOOL AS MY BIG BROTHER AND THAT MAKES ME REALLY HAPPY.

PLEASE MAKE OUR SCHOOL K-12 SO WE CAN STAY TOGETHER WITH ALL OUR FRIENDS THROUGH HIGH SCHOOL. THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU. NEXT?

>> HI, MY NAME IS LIAM. I LOVE MY SCHOOL.

WE'VE GROWN UP TOGETHER SINCE I WAS IN FIRST GRADE.

PLEASE EXPAND K-12 SO WE CAN STAY TOGETHER ALL THE WAY THROUGH HIGH SCHOOL. THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU. >> NEXT, PLEASE WALK UP TO THE

PODIUM. >> GOOD EVENING, FELLOW PARKLAND

RESIDENTS AND PARENTS. >> OUR KIDS ARE JUST NOT A STUDENT I.D. NUMBER. THEY ARE EACH PERSONALLY KNOWN BY MOST IF NOT ALL STAFF MEMBERS.

THIS IS ONE OF THE REASONS WE ARE PROUD TO SAY THAT WE ARE PART OF THE SOMERSET PARKLAND ACADEMY WHERE A PLACE WHERE WE ARE COMMUNITY AND WE ARE FAMILY. IMAGINE YOUR CHILD WALKS IN THE SAME CAMPUS FROM KINDERGARTEN THROUGH HIGH SCHOOL, BY THE SAME PEERS AND STRONG VALUES THAT SOMERSET BRINGS.

WHEN EIGHTH-GRADE ENDS, THAT JOURNEY IS INTERRUPTED.

THAT K-12 PATHWAY WILL MEAN MORE STRESS, OLDER STUDENTS MENTORING YOUNGER ONES. SIMPLY STAYING ON ONE CAMPUS SIMPLER FOR EVERY PARK LINDA FAMILY THAT CHOOSES SOMERSET.

THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT THIS EXPANSION WILL DELIVER AND IT'S WHY I'LL URGE YOU TO SUPPORT THE PLAN TO BUILD A HIGH SCHOOL ON ITS CURRENT CAMPUS. THE HIGH SCHOOL IMPOSTERS PLAN TO OPEN IN 2027 STARTING IN NINTH GRADE AND ADDING ONE YEAR AT A TIME SO THE TRANSITION IS GRADUAL AND MANAGED.

SMARTER AND MORE EFFICIENT THAN STARTING WITH SCRATCH ON A DISTANT VACANT LOT. IT KEEPS HIGH SCHOOL EDUCATION LOCAL, EXPANDS OPPORTUNITY WITH OUR DOLLARS AND TAXES AND INVESTS IN THE PART OF PARKLAND. THIS ISN'T ABOUT ADDING CLASSROOMS, IT'S GIVING THE CHILDREN THE GIFT OF CONTINUITY ALL THE WAY THROUGH TO GRADUATION.

ALSO STAND TOGETHER. OUR KIDS WILL GROW UP AND LEARN AND RIGHT HERE AT HOME. THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU. >> HI.

MY NAME IS LORI AND I LOVE MY SCHOOL.

I'D LIKE TO GO TO MIDDLE SCHOOL THERE.

>> HIGH SCHOOL. >> HIGH SCHOOL.

[APPLAUSE] >> WELCOME.

>> GOOD EVENING. I AM PRESIDENT OF THEM MERELY I'VE SEENMY HOME AND THESE RENDM INSIDE THE ESTATE, THE THIRD OR FOURTH HOUSE AND THAT ROTUNDA INSIDE THE ESTATE.

I'M HERE REPRESENTING THE MAJORITY OF THE RESIDENTS IN TOWN PARK. LOCATED NEXT TO THE SCHOOL.

IT'S BEEN DEALING WITH REPEATED DAMAGE TO THE LANDSCAPING FROM THE VEHICLES IN THE GOLF CARTS CURRENTLY THE PARK IN THOSE AREAS. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE THE SCHOOL FIRST OPEN. WE EXPECT THAT TO INCREASE AND STUDENTS NOT GRANTED A PARKING SPACE WHERE GOING TO GO ON THAT STRETCH OF ROAD THERE. THAT'S GOING TO DRIVE UP MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR COSTS FOR OUR COMMUNITY.

THANKFULLY OUR DUES WILL COME UP TO MAINTAIN THE LANDSCAPING OUR ASSOCIATION IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MAINTAINING THE MEDIAN IN FRONT OF THE SCHOOL WHICH UNDERSTANDABLY WHILE IT WAS A PART OF THE ORIGINAL DEVELOPER AGREEMENT, HOWEVER WITH THE LEVEL OF THE PUBLIC USE AND IMPACT CREATED BY A SCHOOL OF THIS SIZE IT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE TO REVISIT AND CONSIDER TRANSITIONING THAT RESPONSIBILITY TO THE CITY MOVING FORWARD. WE RESPECTFULLY ASK THE TRAFFIC PARKING AND INFRASTRUCTURE REPONSIBILITY BE CLEARLY ADDRESSED BEFORE MOVING FORWARD. I WILL ADD MY GRANDDAUGHTER IS A STUDENT. SHE STARTED IN KINDERGARTEN AND SHE'S STILL THERE AND I HAVE NOTHING NEGATIVE TO SAY.

[02:55:01]

I DO HAVE RESERVATIONS ABOUT EXPANDING IT WITH THE OLDER KIDS IT UNFORTUNATELY THE WORLD WE LIVE IN I FEEL THAT SECURITY SOMETIMES AT THE SCHOOL CAN BE AN ISSUE.

AND ME PERSONALLY I REMEMBER MY HIGH SCHOOL DAYS BUT WE COULDN'T WAIT TO GO TO A DIFFERENT SCHOOL AND BE CHANGING CLASSES EVERY HOUR AND BE WITH CHILDREN OUR OWN AGE SO I DO HAVE MY OWN DIFFERENCE OF OPINION THERE. MY MAIN CONCERN IS THE IMPACT IT'S GOING TO HAVE ON THE ESTATE RIGHT BEHIND IT AND RIGHT NEXT TO IT AS FAR AS THE PARKING AND THE MEDIAN.

>> ALL COMMENTS ARE TAKEN IN CONSIDERATION.

I'M SURE YOURS WILL AS WELL. >> THANK YOU.

>> MR. CHAIRMAN I'D LIKE TO ENCOURAGE THE SCHOOL TO DO SOME COMMUNITY OUTREACH TO MIRALAGO FOR SURE.

I'M MAKING A COMMENT TO THE COO. IF YOU COULD BRIDGE THAT AND MAKE THAT HAPPEN SO WE CAN GET OFF TO A GOOD START.

THANK YOU. >> NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE

RECORD, PLEASE? >> GOOD EVENING, MY NAME IS ANGELA MCRAE. WE ARE PROUD TO BE PART OF THE SOMERSET PARKLAND ACADEMY FAMILY.

LIKE ALL OF THE FAMILIES HERE WE CHOSE THIS SCHOOL AND WE DID IT BECAUSE IT OFFERS MORE THAN JUST ACADEMICS.

IT PROVIDES A SAFE AND NURTURING ENVIRONMENT WHERE OUR CHILDREN ARE KNOWN BY NAME. THEY ARE SUPPORTED AND INSPIRED TO GROW. WE HAVE WATCHED OUR CHILDREN THRIVE NOT ONLY AS STUDENTS BUT AS INDIVIDUALS WITH CONFIDENCE WITH CHARACTER AND INNOVATION. AFTER MIDDLE SCHOOL OUR CHILDREN ARE NOW FORCED TO LEAVE A PLACE WHERE THEY FEEL INSPIRED AND MOTIVATED. THEY HAVE TO TRANSITION INTO AN ENTIRELY NEW SYSTEM AND AN MOST CRITICAL STAGES OF THEIR- DEVELOPMENT. EXPANDING OUR SCHOOL TO PROVIDE HIGH SCHOOL WILL PROVIDE A SEAMLESS PATH FORWARD.

IT'S AN INVESTMENT IN OUR FUTURE.

THE STUDENT SITTING IN THOSE CLASSROOMS TODAY WILL BECOME THE LEADERS IN THE PROFESSIONAL CITIZENS OF TOMORROW.

WE RESPECTFULLY REQUEST YOUR SUPPORT FOR THESE PROPOSALS.

OUR CHILDREN DESERVE A CHANCE TO CONTINUE THEIR JOURNEY AND A PLACE THAT HAS ALREADY GIVEN THEM SO MUCH.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND YOUR CONSIDERATION.

>> THANK YOU. IS THERE ANYBODY ELSE THAT WISHES TO ADDRESS? YOUNG LADY, I'M SORRY.

>> MY NAME IS ISABELLA AND I'M IN MISS BAUM'S FOURTH GRADE CLASS BUT I'VE BEEN AT SOMERTON SINCE KINDERGARTEN.

IT'LL BE A GREAT CHANCE TO FINISH SCHOOL THERE.

THIS SCHOOL IS A PLACE WHERE EVERYBODY KNOWS YOUR NAME AND GOES OUT OF YOUR WAY TO MAKE YOU FEEL SPECIAL AND INCLUDED.

THE FRIENDSHIP I'VE MADE WITH OTHER KIDS HERE ARE THE ONES THAT'LL LAST FOREVER SO I HOPE WE CAN BUILD A HIGH SCHOOL.

THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

[APPLAUSE] ANY OTHER SPEAKERS? I'M SEEING NONE. I'M GOING TO ASK FOR ANY

I DISAGREE WITH ALL OF IT. MY CHILDREN GO TO BROWARD COUNTY SCHOOLS AND THEIR TEACHERS KNOW THEIR NAMES AND THEY DO NOT KNOW THEM BY A NUMBER. SO I DO NOT WANT THAT TO LOOK LIKE ANY SORT OF KNOCKING ON OUR TEACHERS THAT ARE PART OF THE BROWARD COUNTY SCHOOL SYSTEM. OF COURSE THINGS CAN BE BETTER IN ANY ASPECT IN ALL ASPECTS OF EDUCATION.
