2. [32.5.6a] Zoning. Under Zoning, please indicate that ZMA- 1996 -008 applies to TMP
09100- 00 -00- 00200. [The approval excludes the portion of the property between the

add Entrance Corridors and Airport Impact Area under Zoning. Please indicate that TMP
09100- 00- 00 -002AO is zoned R -1. Please list out the conditions of approval for ZMA-
1996 -008, which are:
o 1. Preservation of a minimum 100 foot tree buffer, together with a fence at least
eight feet in height on the school side of the buffer along the border of the
townhouse portion of the Willow Lake Subdivision;
o 2. Installation of Best Management Practices to include constructed wetlands to
filter the runoff from paved surfaces;
o 3. Create wetlands in the margin of the lake to mitigate the filiing of the
wetlands;
o 4. Retain the six fields relocating one practice field to the area on the southwest
side of the lake (competition fields may be increased to three in number);
o 5. Relocate the football field to preserve the natural drainage, unless mitigation is
conducted by installation of a forebay and wetlands in the end of the lake to
filter runoff, (Although not included in the motion, the record will confirm that
the football field will not have to be relocated because the Board agreed, by
consensus, to the expensed of the mitigation techniques)
(Condition #2 best management practices appear to still apply to the current project)
3. [32.5.6a] Date and Description of Latest Revision. Add a date and description of latest
revision with each resubmittal.
4. [32.5.6a] Adjacent Parcel Information: Provide the owner, zoning, tax map and parcel
number and present use of adjacent parcels.
5. [32.5.6b] Maximum Amount of Paved Parking and Vehicular Circulation Areas. Provide
the maximum amount of paved parking and vehicular circulation areas.
6. [4.12] Parking Calculations. No parking study is needed. However, on sheet C 1.0,

7. [4.12] Parking Calculations. On all other sheets besides sheet CLO, label the type of
current parking (ADA, staff, visitor, and student).
8. [Existing Conditions] Show existing conditions as they are existing. Field review
indicates the following:
o In the row of parking, immediately across from the gravel student parking lot, in
which 11 parking spaces are shown, there are 10.
o Indicate that the area in the corner of the paved lot and gravel lot close to where the
FDC water valve shown is currently a "No Parking Area."
o Some of the existing parking spaces being counted are not parking spaces, but striped
for ADA spaces. Revise the parking calculations to reflect these existing conditions.
o For example, the 3rd space depicted, counting from the end of the row of parking
spaces immediately adjacent to the gravel student parking lot, is currently striped.
o For example, in the row of parking close to the Monticello HS building next to
where the bike rack is shown, and immediately in front of the concrete walkway,
4 staff, 1 police, and 2 ADA parking spaces currently exist. The 2 ADA parking
spaces are shown on the plan as 4 spaces. See also: [4.12.4b]
o Revise the existing parking space count on sheet C1.0, which is 138 rather than 141.
o Indicate that the first 2 and 4t parking spaces next to the row of 5 trees, and closest to

verify that they are full cut -off, and a photometric plan. The proposal currently indicates
3 light poles being re- located, but only 2 appear to be shown on the existing conditions
plan. Please revise.
