[quote=Anonymous]The bigger issue is the MS/HS.  APS has been notorious for not taking into account housing that is in the process of coming online.  They don't connect with the county well on what's 2-5yrs downstream.

We are a McKinley family, so I can only give an example from here, although I'm sure there are plenty of others county-wide.  When the Fisher House affordable housing was being renovated APS was refusing to plan for space for kids that they knew would be moving in 2yrs later.  They used only data based on children currently in the planning units, even as they knew a certain number of family-sized apartments were being built.

APS is asking us to do the hard work for them.  If you know there is a site that a developer is in the process of purchasing and it isn't on their spreadsheet, give them that data.  The Febrey Lothrop property is another good example.  Within 5yrs there could be dozens of SFH homes on that lot.  It needs to be in the back of their heads that those children will need to go to school somewhere, likely Ashlawn or Cardinal.

Look around your community and if you think they've missed something, get it in front of them.[/quote]
