Candyce Burnett stated that they verified that the postings on-site were still at the location. Jennifer Moore, representing the applicant. addressed the concerns raised by Roy Nierman. She stated, while the school being two-storied is not common, it is allowed, and they have done extensive research as to how to make it work successfully. The number of staff and parking spaces is correct, they did the calculations according to estimates and they will have an overage of parking spaces. Additionally, the trees that they will be removing are smaller trees that are blocking the frontage of the site and some trees will be removed because they will be destabilized after the grading to meet ADA guidelines is done. They will be replanting a variety of trees which will be used for educational purposes. • Chairman Macias asked the applicant if the enrollment numbers were actual or projected.
