Section 3.0— Project Description As shown on Figure 2.2-3, the proposed classroom building location currently consists of a paved area, landscaping including trees and small shrubs, and an outdoor play area, which would all be removed and/or relocated to accommodate the proposed classroom building. An existing pump station is located immediately south of the proposed classroom building location. The pump station is surrounded by a six-foot solid wood fence on all sides with a driveway onto the cul-de-sac at the end of Egret Lane providing access. The pump station, including the surrounding fence, would not be affected by the proposed project. 3.2.2 Kindergarten Classroom The proposed one-story modular Kindergarten classroom would be located in line with the existing classrooms buildings along the northeastern boundary of the project site (refer to Figure 3.2-1). The classroom would be approximately 1,500 sf in size and would have a maximum height of approximately 15 feet. The proposed location of the classroom currently contains the Kindergarten play area, which would be relocated to accommodate the proposed classroom building. The existing Kindergarten play area is an approximately 1,800 sf area covered with a rubberized play surface and a play structure. The play area would be relocated onto the existing asphalt play area that is located between the existing school buildings and the northern site boundary (refer to Figure 3.2- 1). 3.3.3 Other Additions, Improvements and Modifications The proposed project includes other various additions and improvements to the project site, both on the Sandpiper Community Center/Sandpiper Park property and the Sandpiper Elementary School campus. The locations of the proposed additions and improvements are shown on Figure 3.2-1. Additions to the community center and park include an outdoor seating and gathering area located south of the existing Sandpiper Park play field and bike racks and a new public restroom that would be approximately 500 sf in size and located adjacent to the proposed two-story school building. Additionally, the outdoor play area adjacent the existing community center building would be reconfigured to accommodate the proposed two-story classroom building, and the community center parking lot would be expanded by six parking spaces. The reconfigured outdoor play area would be the same size as the existing outdoor play area. Improvements to the elementary school include modernizing the existing music/science building, converting an existing classroom into a workroom and offices, and re -striping the northern asphalt play area to include two basketball courts. The proposed project would also relocate the existing trash enclosure away from the adjacent residences to the school parking lot, resulting in the net loss of one parking space. The loss of the parking space in the school parking lot would offset by the six additional parking spaces in the community center parking lot.
