216 reasonable exceptions have been made and the ordinance is one way to protect neighborhoods and youth. Ms. Richards said she has been hearing from individuals and neighborhood associations supporting the curfew, and has decided to support the ordinance as an expression of solidarity with the neighborhoods. Ms. Richards asked that the Police use the curfew responsibly and implement it fairly, and asked neighborhoods to cooperate with the Police. Ms. Slaughter said her concern is with young children unsupervised late at night. Ms. Slaughter said she realizes that this is a serious ordinance, and thinks the evaluation will be an important process. The ordinance entitled "AN ORDINANCE TO _~VIEND AND REORDAIN SECTION 17-7 OF CHAPTER 17 OF THE CHARLOTTESVILLE CITY CODE, 1990, AS AMENDED, RELATING TO A GENERAL CURFEW FOR MINORS," as amended, which was offered at the December 2nd meeting, was approved by the following vote. Ayes: Ms. Daugherty, Ms. Richards, Ms. Slaughter, Mr. Toscano. Noes: Mr. Cox. RESOLUTION: SPECIAL PERMIT FOR ST. ANNE'S Mr. Huja explained that the resolution would amend the special permit for St. Anne's to allow them to add a building and 39 parking spaces. Mr. Huja said St. Anne's has agreed to entrance/exit changes, screening of lights, and a new parking struct~are. Mr. Cox recommended that a fence and lockable gate be constructed to prevent students from being dropped off on Tw~man Road. Mr. Cox said that he feels the connector road is an important concession made by the school. Ms. Slaughter suggested that the internal road be in place at the time of completion of the construction, and asked St. Anne's to notify the Council when they have notified parents about the drop oflTpick up rules. Mr. Cox said he does not want to restrict St. Anne's growth, but wants only to control the traffic. Restricting construction trucks to St. Anne's property was discussed, and it was agreed that an exception would be made for large trucks that are not able to navigate the small road into St. Anne's and would be allowed to use Twyman Road. Mr. O'Connell said he feels that the truck access can be dealt with during the building permit phase. Mr. Toscano recommended that the requirement to lock the parking lot be deleted if the school agrees to solve problems if they occur. Mr. Craig Brown, Deputy City Attorney, said a condition could be added requiring St. Anne's to take steps to eliminate unauthorized use of their parking lot. It was agreed that the restriction on the number of students would be eliminated, but the restriction on the traffic count not exceeding 10% will remain. On motion by Mr. Toscano, seconded by Ms. Daugherty, the resolution granting a special permit for St. Anne's Belfield School was unanimously approved by Council.
