As <br />early as 1991, staff discussed the following concerns about the Clear Lake Road site with the District. <br /> <br />· The site is located outside the urban growth boundary and city services are not available to <br />the property. <br /> <br />· New schools at the Clear Lake Road location would result in tremendous pressure for <br />expansion of the urban growth boundary toward the airport to allow for residential <br />development surrounding the school property. <br /> <br />· Encroachment of residential development toward the airport could jeopardize the <br />community's investment in the airport. For example, limitations on airport operations <br />could be imposed at some time in the future in response to residents' concerns about noise <br />or perceived safety issues. Residential development in the Clear Lake Road area could set <br />up an ongoing conflict between the new residents and the City as has occurred in similar <br />situations across the country. <br /> <br />New Sue Proposed/or Joint School/Park Development <br /> <br />In early 1996, an alternative school site, acceptable to the District, was identified by City staff. The site is <br />within the urban growth boundary, centrally located in an area that is planned for future low density <br />residential neighborhoods. The site is located on the south side of Barger Drive, between Greenhill Road <br />
