parking lot at the front of the property does not have catch basins or storm sewers, which are required by code. He suggested that the existing storm sewer be extended through the swale to help it drain. Mr. O'Malley stated that the two independent government entities should work together to come to a solution regarding this proposal. Mr. Henderson said the grade slopes toward the swale on the west side of the property and away from adjacent properties. He believed that there are no issues of water from the school's property going onto neighboring property. He did not believe that extending the pipe to the swale as suggested would have much impact. He stated the schools do not intend to make any changes to the swale area because they believe the swale works. He reviewed the traffic statistics provided regarding current and proposed use. The amount of staff and visitor cars would be similar, parent and student traffic would go to zero, and the amount of buses would increase from 10 to 37. Mr. Schumann stated that the swale seeins to have been filled in since he moved to Butternut Ridge in 1999. Mr. Henderson stated that when the school was built the swale went around the property but when the playground was installed the swale was changed. Other than that, he was unaware of changes being made by the district to the swale. Mr. Schumann clarified that the detention basin would not be connected to the swale. The yard drains that drain a portion of the property will be removed and water from the renovated area will drain into the basin. The 12 inch sewer ties into the 18 inch pipe along I-480. Mr. Urbanick stated that the current drainage design is per city code and the storm water areas proposed to be changed will run into the new storm water management system. The current swale and proposed basin will come together and drain into the pipe along I-480. He stated that the capacity of the swale would be freed up by having the parking lot drain into the new storm water management system. Mr. DiFranco suggested extending the existing 12 inch pipe under the swale. He was concerned over the cross- section of the swale since no records exist to see what was done when the existing parking lot was put in. Mr. Urbanick stated that they will do a study to make sure the swale is functioning properly and would make any changes necessary to make it work correctly. Mr. DiFranco stated that the code requires swales to be able to withstand a ten-year storm. Ms. Nader pointed out that the area south of the parking lot will have a catch basin that will be routed into the basin. Mr. Rerko mentioned that the 12 inch pipe could be clogged due to a low slope. He suggested that the end of the swale be moved away from the neighbor's property. Mr. Urbaniclc said it will be evaluated and done to the City Engineer's satisfaction. Mr. Malone appreciated the fact that the contractor added trees to reduce light and noise pollution along the driveway. He also pointed out that two letters were received from neighbors, Mr. Ulewicz and Mr. Rodriguez, and they are part of the record. Mr. Rerko pointed out that the projected bus pattern shows that no buses would be in service after 5 p.m. Douglas Baldi, neighbor, stated that he does not object to the administration building but objects to the bus storage use. He believed it would negatively impact the historic district. He pointed out that the street is narrow and difficult for buses to maneuver in. He questioned the quantity of buses and when they would be coming and going. Tim Ulewicz, neighbor, stated that the conditional use would affect the neighbors. He pointed out that the playground will be removed, even though a lot of lcids use it. He stated that the coming and going of buses would be multiplied by the many times they have field trips and sports. Mr. Leigh stated that the bus schedule presented is the current schedule from the middle school but does not include sports or
