From: Amelia McCulley, Zoning Administrator
Date: November 27, 2012
Subject: S.P. 2012 -30 The Peabody School
I have reviewed the initial submittal of this application. These comments were shared in a meeting
held today with the applicant. Please consider the following comments:
Parents are currently parking on the grassy edge of Stoney Ridge Road at least during the
morning drop -off times. This activity is not permitted by the current site plan nor is it allowed in
association with a public road that is not designed and constructed for on- street parking. This
activity appears to result from a lack of parking and /or adequate circulation on -site. This
problem will need to be resolved before we can support this request for expansion. Aside from
the current special use permit application, this situation will need to be remedied. We
understand that you are planning various actions to appropriately respond to our concerns.
2. Please submit a parking study to address required parking for the existing use and proposed
expansion. Please include information as to number of faculty and staff in your submittal. As
we discussed, we can consider many different approaches to provide adequate parking,
including off -site parking, shuttle services and phased -in improvements.
From Zoning Ordinance Section 4.12.6: Schools: The number of proposed spaces shall be
shown in a parking study submitted by the school division (public schools) or the school
(private schools). The number of required spaces shall be determined by the zoning
administrator. In making the determination, the administrator shall consider the
recommendations in the parking study, traffic generation figures either known to the
industry or estimated by the Institute of Transportation Engineers, peak parking demands,
and other relevant information. (Amended 2 -5 -03)
3. Please revise the plan to include the following:
a. The number of parking spaces currently shown are 33, not 29 as noted;
b. The latest rezoning action for this property is ZMA 96 -21, not ZMA 95 -19 as noted.
