bullet Biscuit Run Development -- School site decision for proffer
bullet Staff report to School Board for April 27, 2006 meeting

From the report: Enclosure 4 contains a General District Block Plan of the development with three possible school sites illustrated. The current proffer, which is Block 25, a 92-acre parcel, for an elementary school site and district park, has been proposed. Approximately 45 acres of this land is useable according to the developer. Under the direction of the school staff, two additional hypothetical sites are also illustrated for discussion purposes and they are located in Block 7 and 24. The site in Block 7 contains a total of 13.1 acres with 11.5 usable acres and it is found near the center of the development in response to the Neighborhood Model. The site in Block 24 contains 25.8 acres with approximately 13.2 usable and it is located in the North West corner of the property. Please note that the last two options have not been proposed by the developer or reviewed by the planning staff. The schematic illustrations of all three sites were developed to make sure that all major program elements could be accommodated on the site. We will ask Planning Staff and the developer to comment on the two additional sites during their presentation.

Three additional diagrams [Block 25; Block 7; Block 24] that show a half-mile and mile radius line from each proposed site. This provides a graphic representation of the distance from each site to surrounding, existing and potential neighborhoods.
