Ms. Laura Fox, 1507 Plover Avenue, spoke regarding item 5c, the rezoning of
property for use by the school. She stated that they are in favor of the school using
the additional property for extending the drop off lanes, but expressed concern
with additional traffic. She stated that there should not be any additional vehicular

and that there be a buffer maintained along Hale Road as well.
Mr. Eddie Twilly, HOA representative for Back Bay Village, spoke regarding item 5c,
the rezoning of property on Hale Road. He expressed concern with the potential

stipulated that the property would revert back to its previous residential zoning if
not utilized by the school.
Mr. Lee Gastley, Seamon, Whiteside, and Associates, stated that they met with
residents from surrounding community regarding the school rezoning request. He
