Jason Patrow, 16209 Sapphire Street, commented that he is an engineering project manager with <br /> 15 years of experience. He commented that the noise study is not just related to the stadium,field, <br /> and other items of note and believed that the rooftop mechanical equipment should also be included <br /> in the study. He commented that the field lights are 80 feet tall but noted that the field is also eight <br /> to ten feet higher than the properties to the north. He stated that recessing the field into the ground <br /> creates an amphitheater effect. He commented that removal of the trees will have an impact on <br /> the light and sound spilling onto neighboring properties. He did not believe there is adequate <br /> spacing for all the buses to que. He did not believe the retention pond was designed appropriately <br /> and provided his supporting information on his opinion. He commented that there are too many <br /> things being squeezed into a site. He commented that removal of the trees around the wetland <br /> would also change the dynamic of the wetland as shaded areas would then be exposed to sun. He <br /> commented that if there is an overflow the polluted water from the basin would enter the wetland <br /> and cause damage. He stated that the flooding in the area is already a concern but is manageable <br /> by the residents. He commented that discharging the water from the retention pond would not <br /> occur at the same rate as it would discharging through the soil. He stated that the elevated water <br /> from this site would compromise the drain field of the septic system for the neighbor to the north <br /> and could also impact the drinking water. He commented that the traffic study was completed for <br /> one day prior to Easter break, which is not accurate. He stated that he does have a concern with j <br /> one access from 161St and the congestion that would bring to the residents in that area. <br /> i <br /> Danielle Holder, 7826 161St Avenue NW, stated that she has submitted written comments. She <br /> stated that this plan is overdone for the site. She noted that everything is being designed to <br /> minimum standards. She stated that the noise study was advised at the last meeting and has not <br /> been done yet. She asked how far the other schools of this nature are to residential homes. She <br /> stated that the trees are being removed and there will not be much to buffer that sound. She asked <br /> that the Commission table the request to meet higher standards. She noted that this site is already <br /> designed to the fullest capacity using minimum standards. She mentioned the cross easement with <br /> the church and stated that perhaps the pickup and drop off occur in the church parking lot to prevent <br /> stacking on 16t". She asked the Commission to hold the request until the noise study and other <br /> elements can be completed to ensure that the residents will be protected. <br /> Jeffrey Lubarski, 7826 161St Avenue NW, asked the Commission to table the request tonight until <br /> the plat is completed and does not have contingencies. He believed that the neighborhood should <br /> have the ability to comment on the final plat before this moves forward. He commented that the <br /> school proposes one entrance and exit on 161", which is a narrow residential street. He believed <br /> that there should be a secondary or primary exit/entrance on Variolite. He stated that if only one <br /> entrance/exit is proposed on 161 st,his property is no longer viable as a residential property, and he <br /> should be allowed to covert it to commercial property. <br /> Amanda Patrow, 16209 Sapphire Street NW, commented that she has had concerns from the <br /> beginning and does not feel the project should move forward due to water runoff,noise, light and <br /> traffic. She commented that the traffic study was completed only one day when school was in <br /> session. She did not believe the study should be used and should be redone. She commented that <br /> the numbers provided in the staff report equate to a total of 489 vehicles that would all use <br /> Variolite, Armstrong, and 161" Avenue. She stated that her neighborhood only has one road to <br /> get in and out,which is Variolite. She asked what would happen if emergency vehicles needed to <br /> Planning Commission/May 26,2022 <br /> Page 10 of 20 <br />
