• Limited impact to residents. The school orientation would remain essentially the same as the existing school, so the impact to the surrounding homes would be minimal
• Efficient use of fields. A school located on 135^th Street will offer more continuous fields for the kids and use of community
• Limited design constraints. Because no educational programs would need to be accommodated on site during construction, the design would not be constrained to an area left over from the existing building, and the planning team could pursue more 'ideal' solutions

• Increased cost to District. The District would likely pay over one million dollars to provide temporary facilities for its educational programs, and to move people and equipment
• Safety concerns. There has been some indication of future changes in traffic patterns that could turn 135^th into a major traffic arterial. Pick-up and drop-off activities for an elementary school are generally safer for the children when located on less traveled residential streets

• Financial savings to the District. If the school is located on 135^th, the District would need to pay over one million dollars to provide temporary teaching facilities and move people and equipment during construction
• Improved safety to children. It is anticipated that drop-off and pick-up activities occurring on 134^th street would be a safer alternative because of the limited traffic

• Increased traffic for residents on Isis, 134^th Street, and Glasgow. This issue to be studied by Traffic Consultant, but impact of an elementary school is generally small and limited to specific times of day. Residents have also expressed concerns about changing noise patterns effecting their property and impacts to existing views
• Less efficient playground. The building massing will be divided between the new buildings on 134^th and the existing library on 135^th. This will likely mean a playground that is a bit less continuous than what currently exists, and may not be able to accommodate as many full size organized sport fields
• Possible impact to Floor Plan. Because the site is a little smaller than the recently completed Juan de Anza school, and the existing Cabrillo school has such an odd orientation, the site utilization footprint for a new Cabrillo school located on 134^th may need to be designed around the existing school to maintain the educational programs during construction. Designing around the existing school will likely lead to more compromises to the 'ideal' school layout than if the entire site were open to construction.

• Greater separation of students between Dana and Burnett
• Capture of visible intersection at corner of 135^th and Aviation for weekend use (of facilities) by community could also generate income for District

• Central location of school generally offers an inefficient utilization of land and could lead to less field space provided for community use, and areas of field not visible from gym (listed as high priority at committee meeting)
• Possible phased construction of gymnasium, multi-purpose and/or parking could delay project completion and ultimately cost the District more money
• The construction of the school in close proximity to the existing school will have a greater impact on the existing educational programs during construction

• Reduced impact to educational programs during construction. (Construction will be farther away from occupied classrooms)
• Efficient use of space to maximize creation of community utilized field space

• Students will be entering and leaving school in close proximity to the existing Burnett School. (One of the committee members) expressed a strong feeling that the larger children will not coexist well with the small children, and that everything possible should be done to reduce the possibility of casual interaction
• There was some concern that the open fields could be viewed from Aviation and may invite an unusually high number of unwanted visitors to the site
