Site Plan Chairman Snyder asked for staff report for Site Plan for Northland School
Northland School of of Performing Arts, 3000 NW 50 St. Brent Miles stated that Dennis Rogers
Performing Arts on behalf of Northland School of Performing Arts, had made application for

dance activities. The property is zoned C -1 and music and dance are both
permitted uses. Brent stated that many meetings had been held with Dennis
Rogers and Dennis Tuck to ensure compliance of all issues.
The site plan currently indicates 58 parking spaces. According to Municipal
Code 420.020.G.3, addressing the calculations of spaces per student over the
age of 16, only eight spaces would be required. Staff does not feel that number
to be adequate and has agreed to lessen the number of spaces to 36 which would
include 2 ADA spaces.
The site plan indicates a 24 -foot drive isle serving two 90- degree double stacked
parking rows. and a 22 -foot drive isle serving one 90- degree parking row. A
proposed 15 foot wide drive isle is indicated as fire apparatus access road and
staff recommends 20 foot wide. There is a one -way drive for dropping off at the
southern entrance that is 12 foot and this is adequate width.
The landscaping plan has provided 15 shade trees and 31 ornamental trees with
a diameter of 1.5" caliper. Staff recommends 2 to 2.5" caliper. A residential
neighborhood, Gatewoods, on the north and west property lines, also makes
this project require a buffer screen with a 6 to 8 foot high vinyl fence or masonry
wall or a live planted screen consisting of berms and live plants. Staff
recommends a live plant screen rather than a fence.
The site plan indicates the project will have Lithonia KAD double shoebox
lighting and will need to direct light downward to avoid light seepage.
Building materials will consist of masonry and stucco. Color schemes will
be presented at a later date.
The applicant has submitted a master signage plan that indicates two monument
signs located at the eastem 50 Street entrance and a wall mounted sign on the
building.
Staff recommends approval with the following recommendations:
number of parking spaces, stormwater runoff calculations, width of drive on
west side from 15 to 20 foot, larger diameter of trees, live planting screen for
buffer zone, lighting plan with calculations, color schemes and building
materials submitted and submittal of revised master signage plan.
Dennis Rogers, Northland School of Performing Arts, 3000 NW 50 St.,
stated he was very pleased working with City Staff to accomplish this
project.

they would be wall pack lights and lighting would be at least 50 foot
back off 50 Street.

there was not one in close proximity because the building was not sprinkled.
