Mr. David motioned to recommend approval to city council phase III of 26012-PO10-1; Pre -k — 5 <br />School, Lorain Road with the conditions that the traffic study be approved by the city engineer <br />and that the variances are approved by the BZBA.; seconded by Mr. Peeples. <br />During the board member's discussion, one member strongly advocated for a six-foot board -on- <br />board fence to be installed along the firehouse perimeter down Coe to Palm and across insisting <br />it's essential for resident safety. Another member proposed a partial fence, emphasizing the <br />aesthetics of the school. The discussion also touched on the responsibility of the of the school <br />district regarding the fence installation. Some members favored maximizing green space. During <br />the continued discussion, suggestions included a mix of greenery and fencing along property <br />lines to balance aesthetics and privacy. Some proposed involving a landscape architect to assess <br />the perimeter and create a cohesive plan. Concerns were raised about the proposed solution's <br />adequacy and the responsibility of individual homeowners for property upkeep. There was a lack <br />of consensus on the recommended approach, leading to discussions about the broadness of <br />proposed motions and the need for further deliberation to reach agreement. After more <br />discussion, the board sought feedback from the school board regarding a compromise plan <br />involving additional fencing and landscaping. Concerns were raised about the significant cost <br />implications and the need for further analysis. The board emphasized the impact on residents and <br />proposed a compromise solution to address aesthetics and traffic concerns. However, the school <br />district expressed reservations about the proposed compromise, citing logistical challenges and <br />cost implications. The board agreed to table the discussion while further consultation and <br />analysis were conducted. <br />Mr. David motioned to table phase III and the conditional use permit pending the special meeting <br />to convene on Monday May 6, 2024 from 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.; seconded by Mr. Peeples.
