Mountaintop Montessori is proposing replacement of our existing approved black stained
wooden rail garden fence that runs roughly parallel to 250 on the top of the hill attached
behind Building #443 (LE2), Rolkin Road on plat 78-12A. (See photo above.) There will be
no changes to the existing location of the fencing.

We are proposing to replace the existing wooden rail fence with a deer fence that will
surround the School's vegetable gardens. The new deer/critter fencing will be 8' in height.
The fencing material will be 2"x4" grid wire hardware cloth with a tighter spaced wire
hardware cloth running along the bottom 18" of the fencing and buried beneath the ground
to repel the digging critters. The fencing posts will be unfinished cedar posts with their bark
remaining; the post spacing will be between 8'-10'.
We believe that this new fencing will be all but invisible from the 250 Entrance Corridor.
The cedar posts are widely spaced and should blend into the existing tree cover on the
hillside facing 250, and the thin wires of the deer/critter fencing will be all but invisible from
that distance.
B. Site Plan
The location of the previously approved fence is indicted on the drawing below.

(Example of unfinished cedar post deer fencing, except this photo shows plastic mesh instead of hardware cloth)
This first photograph shows what the fence posts will look like, however, it shows a plastic
deer fencing material that is floppy and fragile. Instead, we will be using a 2"x2" wire
hardware cloth. See photo below for a close up photograph of this material.
