EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Property Situation
The property is located west of Kimball Ave. between Kirkwood Blvd. and Highland St. with
the entrance being located near Kirkwood Blvd. and Blessed Way.
Development Details
The applicant is proposing a new two -story middle school with a football field on
25.25 acres.
QUESTIONS DISCUSSION
QUESTION: Which streets will be used for construction access? Will Kimball Ave.
or Highland St. be used?
RESPONSE: All construction traffic will use the State Hwy. 114 frontage road to
Blessed Way.
QUESTION: There are several ponds to the east of the school property. Are any
steps being taken to address safety issues?
RESPONSE: An eight foot (8') wood fence will extend along the eastern side of the
school property from Highland St. to Kirkwood Blvd.
QUESTION: What types of materials will be used on the exterior of the building?
RESPONSE: The materials will be consistent with the High School.
QUESTION: How will the people who live west of Carroll Ave. get to the school?
RESPONSE: They will travel east on State Hwy. 114 to Kimball Ave. and make a U-
turn to Blessed Way or they will turn left (north) on Kimball Ave. and
then left (west) on Kirkwood Blvd.
QUESTION: What will happen to the travel times on the surrounding roads?
RESPONSE: A Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) is being done. The results will be made
available upon completion of the study. Swing gates on the school
drives will allow traffic activity to be manipulated to obtain the best
flow.
COMMENT: If Kirkwood Blvd. would extend to Carroll Ave., it would allow more
flexibility for accessing the school, but there are no plans for that
connection to be made in the near future.
