B C

PLAN A

Like gym connection to open play space

Like the playfield and playground proximity

Like the variety of outdoor space: playground, playfield, wooded area

Too much parking / Like that you have adequate parking

Limited space for community circle

Green space next to the drop-off is important

Like that proximity of classroom wing and cafeteria/gym

WHAT WE HEARD | PREFERRED SITE OPTION

WHAT WE HEARDNeed for garden space

Create larger field space

Fields located next to preserved tree areas

Reduce parking

No bus parking

Playground near fields and away from street

Preserve healthy canopy trees

INCREASING PLAY AREA

Additional Site Development: 52,272 GSF | 1.2 acres

Estimated Cost Value $750,000-$1,000,000

TALLEY STREET | SITE ANALYSIS

CITY OF DECATUR TREE ORDINANCERequires 45% tree canopy coverage of the site (± 2.88 acres of the site).

Our goal is to fully comply with the coverage (not pay into the tree bank).

We are proposing to protect approximately ±1.2 acres of woods.

The rest of the canopy coverage will be met with new trees on site.

More encroachment into tree save areas will necessitate trees being paid into the tree bank (up to 75% of the required canopy can be paid off).

Paying into the tree bank greatly diminishes the site’s ecology, wildlife habitat, beauty, educational opportunities and increasing stormwater volume and runoff.
