INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
TO: JOYCE CAI
FROM: LIUTENANT SPENCER
DATE: 1/26/06
SUBJECT: MIRASOL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
A review of the proposed Mirasol Elementary School has been completed with the following
comments:
➢ The site plan does not indicate traffic calming on Ibiza Drive.
➢ The centralized crosswalk should be a raised walkway. Having a raised crosswalk allows
pedestrian traffic to be better seen by motor vehicle drivers. It also serves as a traffic
calming measure.
➢ The crosswalk should be extended across the drive aisle of the south parking lot into the
north parking lot. Extending the crosswalk allows for pedestrian traffic to have a
centralized walkway across both parking lots.
➢ The landscape median that runs parallel to the student drop off /pick up area needs to be
planted in such a way to create a solid vegetative hedge wall. Doing so will make it
restrictive and impractical for pedestrian traffic to use the landscape median as a shortcut
pathway— encouraging persons' to traverse on the centralized walkway. To maintain
driver site line visibility the hedge should always be maintained at maximum height of
24".

Memo to File
From: Mark Hendrickson, City Forester
Subject: CUMJ- 06- 03 -04, Elementary School at Mirasol
Date: April 17, 2006
I have reviewed the landscape plan based on the information provided at the April 12,
2006 meeting with representatives of the School District. At that meeting, it was my
understanding that landscaping should follow CPTED principals, cost savings through
good landscape design, and important issues can be pointed out for discussion. The
following are my comments:
• The western buffer is not adequate to screen the residential community from the
school. Please install the amount of landscaping that is being proposed with the
high school's northern buffer at a minimum along the western buffer of the
elementary school.
• I recommend that you do not use Laurel Oaks to save maintenance cost.
• The proposed Oak trees in the long narrow median of the bus loop should be
located along the north side of the staff parking area in the 90' wide parkway
buffer for the best function of the tree as a buffer. This would save on pruning
costs in the long run as the tree grows into the loop road and parking area.
Suggest the median be planted with small accent palms.
• CPTED would require you to fence off the western buffer and eastern buffer
area.
• Timber Trace Elementary and Walkins Middle School share a bus loop. Can
this be done here to better use the land area and save resources?
• Recommend no cell towers. How tall is the I.T.V. tower?
• Wheel stops are tripping hazards. Recommend using a grassed divider and
curbing. This is less pervious area and less maintenance.
• The site needs irrigation plan.
