running this direction again splitting the subject property outlined here in black. It's currently vacant of any structures. The applicant is requesting a Special Permit to develop a K to 12 charter school campus with dorm facilities and related uses on approximately 70 acres of land situated in the State Land Use Agricultural District. The request is for a new academic campus which will accommodate an elementary, intermediate, and high school and the common facilities that would support these programs. The subject property is divided by Edita Street and includes what is referred to as the "lower parcel" and the "upper parcel". All major school facilities will be located on the lower parcel. The applicant is proposing to design and construct the project in 9 phases. The entire project is projected to be completed within 16 to 25 years. The reason for the request is to consolidate their academic programs at a single location and provide facilities that support the goals and visions of the school. Here is an indication of the lower parcel site plan,where again all of the structures related to the school program would be built. And then the upper parcel site plan, which shows generally vacant of improvements, except for an elevated walkway that would traverse the entirety of the upper portion of the parcel. So again, this timeline comes from the remand. July 25, 2012, this Special Permit application was submitted to the Planning Department.
