Mr. Rafferty returned to the meeting at 9:07 p.m. • Ms. Lane left the meeting at 9:09 p.m. Chair Schaps invited applicant to make comment. • John Christensen, Superintendent Centennial School District, stated they did have a meeting with some staff members last week regarding the recommendations /concerns, and the bus issue would come in on an angle and they would curve their wheels to the left and the buses would not back up. The car traffic would be kept separate from the bus traffic. He stated they had no problem with the recommendations, but the lighting would not have as much lighting as the middle school because it was an elementary school. He stated they would like to keep the area open where they wanted drainage as green space for a play area. Mr. Corson asked about the tree preservation plan and if they were agreeable to that. Mr. Christensen stated they were agreeable. Paul Snyder, Lead Architect, stated with respect to the recommendation to add some infiltration, the small children did not need much space for a play area, and that was why they wanted to avoid creating an infiltration area where it was proposed. Mr. Zych asked if it would be possible to add a second story to the gym. Mr. Snyder stated that would probably not be possible because of their budget. Mr. Rafferty asked about the location of the schools being located so close together and why the gym was the farthest away from the middle school, while the kindergarten and first grade rooms were the closest. Mr. Snyder stated they were separate buildings as well as totally enclosed buildings, which would lead to their separateness.
