RE: SP 2006-00038, Montessori Community School - Amendment (Signs # 49 & 50)
Tax Map 78 Parcels 12A and 12A1
Dear Mr. Deputy:
On March 14, 2007, the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors took action on SP -2006-00038,
Montessori Community School Amendment, to amend an existing special use permit for a private school
to allow for replacement of modular trailers with permanent buildings for 40,700 square feet of total
building area on a 6.71 acre site on Tax Map 78 Parcels 12A and 12A1 in the Rivanna Magisterial
District. This special use permit was approved based on the following conditions:
Maximum enrollment shall be three hundred (300) students;
The site shall be developed in general accord with the plan entitled "Montessori Pantops
Mountain Community School Sheets SPOT -SP -03", prepared by Neal R. Deputy, Architecture &
Master Planning, last revised January 16, 2007;
Fencing shall be provided at a minimum around the perimeter of the Central Lawn, Lower
Elementary Playground, and Children's House Playground, or at other locations as required by
the County to ensure safety of children adjacent to Route 250 and Rolkin Road. Final design of
the fence shall be subject to review and approval by the Architectural Review Board. However, to
address safety concerns, the fence details shall include:
■ At least forty-eight (48) inches tall;
■ No more than a two (2) inch gap under the fence;
■ Openings shall be small enough that a four (4) inch sphere will not pass
through;
■ No ornamental indentations that can be used as a ladder;
■ Maximum mesh size for chain link fences is two and one-quarter (2-1/4)
inches; and
■ Maximum mesh size for diagonal lattice fences is one and three-quarter (1-3/4)
inches.
Please be advised that although the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors took action on the
project noted above, no uses on the property as approved above may lawfully begin until all
applicable approvals have been received and conditions have been met. This includes:
compliance with conditions of the SPECIAL USE PERMIT;
approval of and compliance with a SITE PLAN; and
approval of a ZONING COMPLIANCE CLEARANCE.
In the event that the use, structure or activity for which this special use permit is issued is not commenced
within twenty-four (24) months from the date of Board approval, it shall be deemed abandoned and the
permit terminated. The term "commenced" means "construction of any structure necessary to the use of
the permit."
If you have questions or comments regarding the above -noted action, please do not hesitate to contact
Sherri Proctor at 296-5832.
