foot sight line distance
requirement, due to intersections
at 100 and 150 feet.
Right of way fails to meet County
70 foot standard.

requirements potentially
compromised by site restrictions.
No sidewalks to school

the school
o Relative complexity of sitework
raises reasonable risk that bids will
exceed budget, requiring:
Additional funds
Additional compromises
Additional time

As designed, the proposed BCC MS #2 delivers a less efficient building (more costly to operate),
with teaching spaces and athletic fields deleted or reduced from MCPS standards,
with less expansion capabilityfor the same cost.
