from R-1 Residential (MUSA) to Public/Quasi-Public and adopt Resolution #18-004 approving <br /> the Comprehensive Plan Amendment and Site Plan for Ramsey Elementary Campus 2. <br /> Councilmember LeTourneau asked for details on trail access and whether the trail to the east <br /> would connect to the broader system. <br /> Community Development Director Gladhill noted that as shown, the trail is for internal purposes <br /> as the City currently does not have a trail along CR 5. <br /> Councilmember LeTourneau stated that this will be a public/quasi-public space and wanted to <br /> ensure that there is an opportunity for better connection for the community through the trail <br /> system in the future. <br /> Councilmember Shryock stated that there is a trail along CR 5 by Brookfield that would travel to <br /> Variolite. She agreed that trail extensions to the south would be helpful. <br /> Councilmember Kuzma asked for details on safety and security. <br /> Steve Anderson, representing the applicant, stated that the buildings have a single point entry for <br /> the school buildings. He explained that all the entries are locked and there is a visitor entrance <br /> which allows a visitor to enter a vestibule where they can scan their identification which is then <br /> run through a verification system. He stated that this building would also be equipped with <br /> cameras. He noted that they are also reviewing additional equipment that could be used to <br /> promote safety and security throughout the building. <br /> Councilmember Kuzma stated that this planning process is the time to implement the materials <br /> necessary for safety and thanked the School District for taking that effort. <br /> Mr. Anderson stated that the School District continues to review the technology available to <br /> determine enhancements that can be made to the security systems. <br /> Councilmember Riley referenced the trail element and asked staff to weigh the greater good of a <br /> trail connection over additional landscaping to act as a buffer to one neighborhood. <br /> Councilmember Johns stated that the corridor along CR 5 should remain a priority for trails and <br /> connections. <br /> Community Development Director Gladhill stated that there is sufficient space and right-of-way <br /> along CR 5 for a trail connection and noted that there is language that could be added to a <br /> condition. <br /> Mayor Strommen agreed that the City should plan for the long-term. She noted that bussing kids <br /> long-term across a street may not continue to be feasible and therefore it is important to reserve <br /> that trail connection to ensure that can get kids safely to school. <br /> City Council/February 27,2018 <br /> Page 8 of 10 <br />
