® • • Planning & Zoning Meeting Minutes of 11-02-89 Page 4 of 6 C. The La Porte Independent School District is requesting a Special Conditional Use Permit to allow the expansion of the Lomax Elementary School. The proposed expansion is to consist of an approximately 14,700 square foot addition which is intended to accommodate ten (10) new classrooms, restroom facilities as well as a mechanical room and janitor's closet. The same conditions and standards apply to this request as apply to the Rizzuto and Bayshore Elementary School expansion request. Subject to compliance with the conditions, the pre- requisite requirements of the Zoning Ordinance are met by the request. The proposed Lomax Elementary School Expansion is therefore eligible to be considered for a Special Conditional Use Permit. The same conclusion and options apply to this request as to the Rizzuto and Bayshore request. Mr. Edward C. Cook, 608 Fairfield, Shoreacres, was the only person speaking in opposition to the Bayshore Elementary School expansion. Mr. Cook was not in opposition to the expansion, but was concerned with the location, which would bring the building within one foot of his back fence, closing S it off like a brick wall. His greatest concern was the possibility of vandalism, plus things that go on at the school. Mr. Cook stated that on the east side of the school there is about 8-10 acres that could be used for the expansion and this would not close anyone in. He was wondering if it would be possible for the expansion to be done on this side instead of right next to him. 4) CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING Mrs. Graves closed the Public Hearing at 7:32 PM. 5) CONSIDER RECOMMENDATION REGARDING SPECIAL CONDITIONAL IISE PERMIT 8CU89-008. After brief discussion by the Commission a motion was made by Eugene Edmonds to recommend the Special Conditional Use Permit and seconded by Jack Gresham. All were in favor and the motion passed. The recommendation will go to City Council. 6) CONSIDER RECOMMENDATION REGARDING SPECIAL CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 8CU89-009. After discussion on the input by Mr. Edward Cook, a motion was made by Inge Browder in the form of a recommendation to table this item until the Mr. Hayes of the La Porte School District could meet with the architect and restudy placement for the expansion, possibly putting the expansion on the east.
