Kimball Avenue. Development Details • The applicant is requesting approval of a site plan that proposes classroom additions and renovations to the existing dual school campus. Two (2) portable classroom buildings currently exist at the southwest corner of Eubanks Intermediate School; these portables will be removed and sold. The site plan proposes an addition on the south end of Eubanks Intermediate School that is two -story, 13,520 square feet, and twelve (12) new classrooms. The proposed addition to Dawson Middle School is on the north end, two -story, 8,823 square feet, six (6) new classrooms plus the expansion of two (2) science labs. The architecture proposed consist of the same materials that exist today, making the proposed additions appear seamless upon completion. The site plan also indicates the installation of swing gates at the west side of the campus to aid in controlling AM /PM traffic flow. The applicant stated that this is the last SPIN meeting regarding the 2009 Bond Program projects. QUESTIONS / CONCERNS • Is this the last addition? o We anticipate that this will accommodate any future growth. • The expansion shown on the original site plan did not show much landscaping? o The landscaping will likely occur once construction is complete. Will the portables be removed as soon as school's out? o They are planned to be removed about a month or so after school starts to ensure there are no problems. Also, the selling process of school property takes time. • Will there be an elevator in the new addition for handicapped students? o No; elevators already exist. The new additions will not increase footage to a distance that would require additional elevators.
