final narrative also states that the children would participate in 2 off-site field trips per week and <br />occasional outings to Orloff Park while participating in the seasonal camps. <br />The subject tenant suite contains a large open space for the martial arts/activity area, a separate <br />break/computer room, a front office waiting room, bathrooms, and astorage/office area. <br />Pictures of these can be found in Exhibit A.2. As proposed in the applicant's final written <br />narrative, the martial arts classes would include up to 20 students ages 5 to 12 and up to 10 <br />students ages 16 and older. The children's program will operate Monday through Friday from <br />11:30 a.m. to 6:15 p.m. while the adult program (students 16 and older) will operate Monday <br />and Thursday evenings from 6:45 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. and Tuesdays from 7:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. <br />The following outlines each of the programs activities: <br />After School Program Transportation (ages 5-12): The applicant will provide two <br />onsite vehicles, a 14-passenger van and a 7-passenger Dodge Durango, that will go to <br />local elementary and middle schools to pick up children and take them to the Academy. <br />The applicant has provided pictures of the vehicles in Exhibit A.2 under appendix F. The <br />pick-up times will begin at 11:30 a.m. for kindergartners and 2:30 p.m. for all other <br />children in the program. In order to transport these students, the applicant is not required <br />to hold an additional class license from the DMV and the applicant has also provided <br />verification of vehicle registration in Exhibit A.2 under appendix G. <br />Kindergarten Program: Kindergarteners will arrive at the Academy at approximately <br />12:15 p.m. and will be escorted into the Academy from the van and/or Dodge Durango. <br />Upon entering the facility, the children are "checked in" on an attendance sheet that the <br />applicant uses for accounting purposes, please see Exhibit E. After putting on their <br />uniforms, the children are then given a 30-minute break where they can eat lunch (which <br />they bring from home), do homework, play or relax. After the break, the students <br />participate in various martial arts games and activities. The applicant has included book <br />excerpts of martial arts games in Exhibit A.2 under appendix D. This portion of the <br />program typically runs from 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. Upon finishing this session, the <br />students are given another 30-minute break where they can play on the gymnastic <br />equipment or relax in the break area. During this break, Mr. Pfund's one employee <br />arrives to take over the program while Mr. Pfund prepares for the 2:30 p.m. pick-up of <br />the remaining children from elementary/middle schools. <br />During the 2:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. portion of the program, the kindergarteners participate <br />in an organized martial arts class where they practice leadership, agility, and balance by <br />studying martial arts techniques. This is done by talking about the message of the month <br />(e.g., character, integrity, and balance) and then giving them instructions on how they can <br />apply these messages to their daily lives. The kindergarteners also participate in a self- <br />defense segment and a martial arts tumbling and gymnastics segment during this hour. <br />Upon finishing this session the other students are arriving and both groups are given a 30- <br />minute break and snack time. <br />PCUP-200, Tri-Valley Martial Arts Academy Planning Commission <br />Page 6 of 16 <br />
