Russell,
Thank you for sharing these plans. lt's very helpful
We would like to see two adjustments
1. The6'wall on thesouthern bordershould be higher-perhapsS'. our sen ior community to the south is
perched on a hill with an elevation 12-15' higher than the proposed school. Furthermore, three of the
houses directly south of the school playground are two-story homes with 2nd floor master bedrooms
directly facing the proposed playground. The angles suggest that a 6' wall would be an insufficient
blockage of playground noise. An 8' may also be inadequate, but would surely be better.
2. The entire southern border should have tree plantings, not just the southwest corner. According to the
plans there is a gap between the corner plantings and the next tree to the east, and the area in front of
that gap is specifically designated as an "active play" area. lt is fair to assume there will be considerable
play noise. Plantangs should be planned with the intent to mitigate such noise from the senior
community immediately to the south.
ln addition, as we discussed earlier, the school should have rules in place to avoid active play in morning hours,
and to the extent that the playground is used during such times it should be limited to the northern half.
Thank you for your consideration
Regards,
Regina and Dave Wood

Good afternoon-
have attached the plans for the Montessori School project per our phone conversation. As you will see on the
plans, the applicant is proposinB a 6-foot-high block wall along the perimeter ofthe site and 3 large (24" box)
trees ln the southwest corner. According to the plans, the trees have an average width of 15-30 feet (see
excerpt below). Furthermore, I have reached out to the property owner and have inquired about the proposed
playground hours. Once I hear from them, I will forward the response.
