Continental Blvd. Site Plan Amendment for Storm Shelter To Whom It May Concern: The Novus Academy respectfully submits this request for a site plan amendment to allow for the construction of a required storm shelter in a designated area within our existing parking lot, rather than within the current school building. Our school is deeply committed to the safety and well-being of our students, faculty, and visitors. As part of that commitment—and in alignment with applicable safety requirements—we have thoroughly explored all options for incorporating a compliant storm shelter within the existing structure. Over the past several months, we have engaged in an extensive due diligence process involving our architect, structural engineer, general contractors, and financial partners. This collaborative effort included structural assessments, cost analysis, and feasibility studies specific to retrofitting a storm shelter within the current building footprint. Through this process, it has become clear that constructing a storm shelter within the existing building is not feasible. The primary constraints include structural limitations of the current facility, the significant disruption such construction would cause to daily school operations, and the substantial financial burden associated with retrofitting the building to meet storm shelter requirements. Even with creative design approaches, these combined factors make an internal solution impractical. As a result, our team has identified an alternative solution that fully meets safety requirements while remaining feasible and responsible: the construction of a standalone storm shelter of approximately 2,000 square feet, located behind the existing building within our current parking lot. The proposed location will require the use of 13 existing parking spaces. 817-488-4555 | 2250 E. Continental Blvd. | Southlake, TX 76092 Learning Differently. Together. TheNovusAcademy.org Page 2 This placement has been carefully evaluated to ensure that it: • Maintains safe and efficient access for students and staff during emergency situations • Minimizes disruption to ongoing school operations during construction • Preserves overall traffic flow and functionality of the site • Represents a fiscally responsible approach that supports the long-term sustainability of our institution We have also assessed parking capacity and site circulation to confirm that the removal of these 13 spaces will not negatively impact daily operations or safety. The Novus Academy serves students with diverse learning needs, many of whom benefit greatly from consistency, routine, and a stable environment. Avoiding major structural disruption to the existing building is not only a logistical consideration—it is an educational and emotional priority for our students. We respectfully request the Commission’s support in approving this site plan amendment so that we may proceed with a solution that upholds both safety standards and the integrity of our learning environment. Thank you for your time, consideration, and continued support of The Novus Academy and the families we serve. Sincerely, Amy Richard Head of School 817-488-4555 | 2250 E.

THE NOVUS ACADEMY Traffic Impact Analysis Title of Plan 2250 E. Continental Blvd./The Novus Academy Case Number THRESHOLD WORKSHEET Driveway Ordinance No. 634 requires that a Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) be submitted with development applications (zoning, concept plan, site plan, etc.) if the proposed development exceeds one or more of the three threshold criteria listed below. No development applications will be accepted unless accompanied by a TIA. For those projects that do not exceed any of the three criteria, a TIA Threshold Worksheet must be submitted and approved by the City Engineer in lieu of the required TIA prior to submittal of the development application. Please describe in detail your evaluation of each criteria listed below. Additional sheets may be attached if necessary. Criteria#1:The development exceeds parking 100 spaces average per driveway. N/A. For the upcoming school year, the current projections are that 40 families and 17 staff vehicles will enter/exit the property during days of operation. These vehicles will enter and exit the property at staggered times. Families will enter and exit briefly for student drop-offs and pick-ups, and minimal parking will be needed for staff vehicles. Criteria#2:Anv driveway in the development is projected to serve 1000 or more vehicles per day.* N/A. As described in #1 above, all driveways are projected to serve less than 60 vehicles per day. Criteria#3:Any driveway in the development is proiected to serve 100 ingress vehicles or more in the design hour. N/A. As described in #1 above, all driveways are projected to serve less than 60 vehicles per day at staggered times. *Unless approved otherwise,trip generation rates should be based on the most recent edition of the Institute of Transportation Engineers(ITE) Trip Generation Manual. I hereby certify that this project does not exceed any of the three threshold criteria shown above and therefore the development would not warrant a TIA in accordance with Section 3.4 of the Driveway Ordinance No. 634 of the City of Southlake.
