I did the best I could using my trusty old Photoshop software to overlay the two illustrations on a photo of the area. I think the sizing is pretty close to the actual limit lines, but the Mary Star illustration was a bit tougher to place. The illustration appears below.
A big problem was introduced at the last committee meeting when the site plans were released to the committee and the public. ( Thanks again B.D.C. for posting the application, photos, and maps on the WWW. Look for another post with the URL). If you look at the southern boundaries for the Ponte Vista site and the Mary Star site, you will see the problem of the access road coming from Western Avenue not meeting the access to the parking lot for Mary Star. You will see the road end in a straight fashion, while the Mary Star access road is curved but the corner necessary to have the two surfaces meet, isn't drawn in. Design teams are working on that problem.
On the Mary Star High School illustration you see an access to Taper Avenue. That is currently being used for construction and may be used until the access road through the Ponte Vista site, from Western Avenue is built. Once the access to Western Avenue is finished, the Taper access will be closed off and gated, according to my sources.
Mary Star of the Sea High School is being built for a student population of 600. The students, parents, faculty, and staff of the school are intended to only have Western Avenue as the only access to the school.
This school is currently under construction. There is a Web site for the campus which also includes a page concerning the application process beginning on November 27, 2006 for new student enrollment when the campus opens in the Fall of 2007.
