, SCU89-009 SUPPLEMENTAL REPORT PAGE -2- In an effort to address these issues, the School District is proposing to increase the rear setback to approximately t~elve feet, eight inches (12.7 ft.). This increased setback area (see Exhibit B) is to be gated at each end to prevent unauthorized entry. Additionally, in order to make this area as visually attractive as possible, the school is proposing to landscape the enclosure. It is the Commission's charge to determine ~hether or not the School District's amended proposal is an adequate means of satisfying neighborhood concerns. A variance ~ill still be required to allo~ the proposed t~elve foot, eight inch setback.
