<br />TO: <br />FROM: <br />SUBJECT: <br />DATE: <br /> <br />PHILLIP COLLINS, SENIOR PLANNER <br />ROBERT KLUTTZ <br />THE WOODS AT WINECOFF REVIEW <br />JANUARY 27, 2005 <br /> <br />We have completed our review of the preliminary subdivision plat for The Woods at <br />Winecofflocated off Winecoff School Road. This proposed preliminary plat will consist <br />of99 lots. We would anticipate 59 students being added to the schools serving this area. <br /> <br />Those schools are Winecoff Elementary School, Northwest Cabarrus Middle School, and <br />Northwest Cabarrus High School. Winecoff Elementary School has exceeded 110% of <br />core capacity with the maximum number of mobile units on campus as permitted by the <br />Fire Marshall. Northwest Cabarrus Middle School and Northwest Cabarrus High School <br />are projected to exceed core capacity within two years with new growth from the number <br />of residential lots that have already been approved in their attendance areas. Hopefully, <br />with the opening ofthe new high school in 2007 or 2008 southeast of Harrisburg we will <br />be able to shift some students from Northwest Cabarrus to Jay M. Robinsop.. Plans for a <br />new middle school that could relieve Northwest Cabarrus is further out in the Fifteen- <br />Year Facility Plan and will require another source of funding. <br /> <br />In summary, the schools being planned for the west side of the county in the recently <br />approved bond are for projected growth from already approved lots, not new <br />subdivisions. The opening ofthese schools is two or three years out depending on land <br />acquisition and construction schedules. In any event it is obvious that we will be <br />operating in extremely overcrowded conditions for several years. <br /> <br />Thanks for giving us the opportunity to make comments regarding the impact of <br />residential growth on our schools. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br />Robert Kluttz <br />Planning Services <br /> <br />r- I <br />
