Lagano, AICP <br />Senior Planner <br />Planning Services Division <br />P.O. Box 707 <br />Concord, NC 28026-0707 <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Lagano: <br /> <br /> We have reviewed the preliminary plat for Rocky Meadows Subdivision located on Rocky River <br />Road near the Rocky River. This site is located in the Rocky River Elementary School, J. N. Fries Middle <br />School, and Central Cabarms High School attendance areas. Rocky River Elementagt School h,ss a core <br />capacity of 1000 with an enrollment of 899. We will propose moving approximately 80 students to the new <br />Harrisburg replacement school when it opens in the 2000-01 school year. This is to make space available <br />for the students moving into residences that have already been approved in the Rocky River auendance <br />area. J. N. Fries Middle School and Central Caharrus High School have been capped since June 30, 1998. <br />The core capacity at J. N. Fries is 839 with an enrollment of 1238. Central Cabarrus has a core capadty of <br />1500 with an enrollment of 1523. New middle and high school students in this area are being capped to <br />Concord MAddle and High School. <br /> <br /> The Rocky Meadows Subdivision will generate approximately 85 students. While this will not <br />adversely impact the capacity at Rocky River, it will certainly add to our growth issues when you consider <br />the total approved lots in this attendance area that have not been built out. The completion <br />of a new high school on Pitts School Road within the next two years will resolve the issue of high school <br />capacity. However, the middle school situation is very critical at the present time. Therefore, we <br />respectively request the Planning and Zoning Commission deny this subdivision antil adequate facilities are <br />in place to accommodate the growth generated by these new homes. <br /> <br /> Thank you for allowing us to review new subdivisions and to provide you with updated <br />intbrmation concerning the capacity and enrollment of die above mentioned school& <br /> <br />Transportation Director <br /> <br />RCK <br /> <br />cc: <br /> <br />Dr. Harold Winkler <br />Mrs. Jessie Blackwelder <br />Mr. Leonard Campbell <br /> <br />An Equal <br />Opportunity Employer <br /> <br /> <br />
