Dear Members of the City of Boulder Planning Board
This letter is an effort by the Boulder Shelter for the Homeless Board to clarify input from the City
Code Workgroup and to further explain some of the Shelter's policies and operations. We offer
additional information in hopes to clarify misstatements that were made during the February 22
Planning Board meeting and to correct some misunderstandings.
WORKGROUP CLARIFICATIONS
Comoarine the oroaosed 75 caaacitv limit for overnieht shelters to the 121ike-sized cities
researched bv Clairon (Denver was not part this evaluationl.
Six of the 12 cities have no absolute cap. One city has a capacity limit of 400 persons and one has a
building size limitation. Another city has a limit of 55 persons for use-by-right, and with shelters of 56
persons or more, conditional use. Three cities have limits of 100, 75 and 19 persons.
Restrictions of locatine shelters near schools in the 12 cities researched bv Clarion.
None of the 12 cities have any restrictions as to locating shelters near schools.
Definitions of drv, dama, and wet shelters.
Dry shelters admit only individuals who registers 0.0% BAC from a Breathalyzer test.
Damp shelters allow individuals who may have consumed some alcohol but display no behavioral
problems.
Wet shelters handle inebriated persons and typically require special facilities and healthcare
professionals to treat such persons.
The Boulder Shelter for the Homeless is a damp shelter. The ARC is a wet shelter.
SHELTER OPERATIONS CLARIFICAITONS
The following are policies and procedures that are used by the Shelter. These procedures have been
developed over the past 18 years and reflect the Sl~elter's best practices.
Returnine alcohol to residents. The possession or consumption of alcohol is not allowed on Shelter
grounds. If such activity inappropriately occurs the result is a 90-day expulsion. However, given the
choice of denying admittance to persons wi[h alcohol, and thus requiring them to face life-threatening
weather conditions, and giving residents shelter for the night, residents are allowed to turn in their
alcohol at the door and reclaim it as they leave the Shelter. In an average month there will be one or
two such incidents. '
Returnina drues to residents. Any resident possessing illegal drugs on Shelter grounds will be
reported to the police. Possession or use of illegal drugs at the Shelter results in a 90-day ban.
Prescription medications must be tumed in for holding at the time of Shelter admittance. These
medications can only be accessed for dosages according to the container directions or for return when
the resident leaves the Shelter.
Re[urnine weapons to residents. Guns are not allowed on Shelter grounds under any circumstance.
The discovery of any gun will result in an immediate call to the police. All other instruments which
could be deemed to be offensive weapons-sticks, tools used for work, pocketknives, etc.-are
banned from possession while the owner is a resident at the Shelter. All of these items must be
checked in at admittance and are return when the resident leaves the Shelter.
Thank you for your time and concem.

Dear Peter, David and Pianning Board Members:
A couple of questions pertaining to the Attachment to the Staff Memorandum
dated 2/27/01. I don't need a response. If I'm misunderstanding something,
Peter or David can tell me tonight.
Item F: Regarding management plan alternatives. Section 9-3.4-25(b)(5)
pertains to management plans under Use Review onl y. If the requirement for
revised (future) management plans is included in this section, would it apply
only to Use Review? Wouldn't we want the provision for future meetings and
mgmt plan revisions to apply when the approval was Conditional Use as well?
Items E and F: Shouldn't these items apply to, and be listed under, the
changes to Day and Emergency Shelters as well?
If so, then my same question above, pertaining to Item F and Sec.
93.4-25(b)(5) , would also apply to Sec, 9-3.4-26(b)(5) and 9-3.4-27(b)(5)
because those also apply only to Use Review.
Thanks. See you tonight. Joan Trapp Bennett

1 would appreciate it if you could forward this email w Ihe Boulder Planning Board in time for their discussion on the proposed land use code for day
shelters. Thanksverymuch!
Dear Planning Board Members
Please accept this letter in support of the START Board's reques[ to adjust ~he Proposed Land Use Code for Day Sheltering. Boulder County
Community Corrections' Social Opportunity and SuppoM Program (SOSP) has worked very closely with the START program over the past few years. ~or
example, our stallsi[ on [he START Board and we have shared our Clubhouse space a[ 1301 Arapahoe for use by START clien~s. During this ~ime we
have learned to appreciate all that START does to assist Ihe local homeless population.
Unfortunateiy, START and SOS clients cannot use [he facility a[ the same [ime because of space limitations and different services. Also, because of
heary cold-season use of the facility, the summer months are used to recover and conduct maintenance -- we simply cannot accommodate the START
program year round. Finally, our SOS program will be using the facility for longer hours, making it more difficul[ Cor START clients and staff [o use ~he
building.
It is important tfiat START bcate a permanent, year round site to of@r Day Cen(er services for tfie Iocal homeless popuiation. The START Board's
curtent request to change the designation of a limiced residemial area (i.e., a location defined by Broadway, Spruce, Mapleron, nnd Folsom) to
conditional use would be incredibly helpful with these plans. During the time of o~irjoint operutions, we have observed no concems about the START
population from our neighbors. Also, START provides support services in its Day Center which helps homeless clients stabilize, reduces the chnnce they
ivill ac[ out in business and residential neighborhoods. The use of a large house near down[own provides a"normalized" emironment more difficult to
create in a commercial property. The more normalized the setting, the likelier ihat homeless clients will access it. The more the START program is
accessed, the greater likelihood that the program's supportive interventions can produce positive impacts. Day shelrering provides nutrition, temporary
relief from [he bad wea[her, access to services, and is an altemative to idleness. The outcome is inereased chances tha[ clien~s will act pro-socially while
visiting the effected business and residential neighborhoods.
I hope you give START's request very serious consideration. Approval of conditional use for day sheltering is clearly in ihe best interest of the local
homeiess population and the impacted retaiL commerciai, and residential neighborhoods. Please feel free ro give me a cali at 303/441-3665 if you have
any questions. Thanks for you time and attention.

Dear Mr. Durso,
I am writing in support of Boulder Montessori School's plans for expansion. My
children attended the school from 1994 until 1999. My husband and I can't say
enough about the quality of education provided by BMS. In order to continue to
maintain this high quality, small class size, build teacher benefits and give
more families the opportunity benifit from this first-class neighborhood school,
I believe it is imperative that BMS be allowed to expand. The future of our
children begins with schools like Boulder Montessori.
Thank you in advance for your consideration.

I am writing regarding the expansion of the Boulder Montessori pre-school on Redstone Road. I would
have liked to attend the planning meeting to voice my opinions in person, but I have a prior committment.
My two daughters are "graduates" of Boulder Montessori. Boulder Montessori is an excellent pre-school.
They have a warm, caring staff and a wonderful program. My daughters made friends at BMS that are still
their friends, 10 years later, The school is an asset to our south Boulder community. It is a valuable
resource to the families in the area.
It is my understanding that the residents of the condos and townhomes immediately adjacent to the
pre-school are opposed to the expansion. I would like to point out that the condos and townhomes tend to
be occupied by young singles. They do not have a need for Boulder Montessori services and are more
concerned about the impact of traffic and parking. My family has lived in this neighborhood for 20 years
and I believe BMS has little or no impact on parking and traffic. The benefits of their program far outweigh
the additional traffic.
Please approve the expansion request made by Boulder Montessori.

Re: Boulder Montessori School
Use Review Application # LUR2000-00003
Dear Mr. Durso
I am writing in support of the plan of the Boulder Montessori School ("BMS") to expand its
facility to accommodate new students. I am the parent of a preschool child who has attended
BMS since 1998. Soon, I hope to have another child attend the Toddler Program at BMS. I live in
the Devil's Thumb neighborhood, approximately one mile from BMS. Having a school in the
neighborhood has allowed me to walk with my child to and from the school many days. I am
aware of several other neighbors who in the past and now walk with their children to BMS.
Because of the current size of BMS and its resulting enrollment restrictions, I know there are
neighbors of mine who were not able to enroll their children in the BMS preschool. Consequently,
these neighbors drive their children across town to other preschool programs.
Although BMS draws children from across Boulder and neighboring towns like Louisville, I
support BMS's decision to expand its facility so that it might be able to accommodate even more
students from my neighborhood. if the expansion allowed more children in my neighborhood to
attend BMS it would help eliminate the traffic problems in Boulder and parents would be able to
walk their children to school.
BMS has made a large contribution to the community for over 25 years. I hope you will
support its plans for expansion. If I can be of further assistance in this process, please do not
hesitate to contact me.
Very truly yours,
Diana C. Fields

Dear Mr. Durso and Members of the Planning Board:
I heartily endorse the appl'rcation of Boulder Montessori School. I
live in the neighborhood where Boulder Montessori School is located and
both of my children attended the school.
Boulder Montessori School is an outstanding school that contributes
significantly to the community. The educational philosophy adopted by
Boulder Montessori School has enriched the lives of my children in many
ways. They received a sound educational foundation and love of learning
that has been a part of them throughout their education. The school
well serves the community by giving parents such an excellent option for
educating, nurturing and caring for their children. The school gives
back to the community in many other ways including the famous Boulder
Montessori Rhythm Band, training of Montessori teachers, raising money
for the Costa Rica rain forests, and in other ways introducing students
to their social responsibilities.
Expansion of the school will allow Boulder Montessori School to
better serve the community and its students. I recommend that you
approve their application.
Sincerely,

Subject: Comments on Boulder Montesorri School's Use Review Application
I am writing to express my family's support for Boulder Montessori School's request to add a thrid
preschool classroom. We believe that this proposal is a win-win situation for the school and the
neighborhood. This modest expansion will increase the long-term viability of the School. The additional
spaces for preschool kids will provide more opportunities for neighborhood residents to send their kids to
preschool locally. We do not believe that the proposal will bring any significant negative impacts to the
neighborhood, such as an increase of traffic to the neighborhood (given the large population of potential
kids within walkable distance, and the location of the school on the bus line).
My family currently lives in Lousiville. However, we lived on Silver Plume Lane for four years, about two
blocks from Boulder Montessori. The main reason we moved to Silver Plume was that it allowed us to
enroll our son Noah in Boulder Montessori and walk him to and from school and use the bus to commute
from there to and from work. We believe that having Boulder Montesorri in the Shanahan neighborhood is
an important contributor to the quality of life for families with kids living there.
We hope that the Planning Board will support the School's expansion, even if some neighborhood
residents would rather see no expansion. We feel that, in time, this expansion will work out well for
everyone. I can base this feeling on the fact that my family worked hard for eventual development of the
neighborhood park site next to Boulder Montessori for almost the whole time we lived there. We did not
feel it was right to make kids (ours included) travel one and one-half miles to the closest developed
neighborhood park. We also felt that it would be a positive benefit to the neighborhood and that the
concerns raised by some neighborhood residents would not materialize. Experience has shown that the
park is well utilized by walk-in neighborhood residents and that the concerns raised did not happenl
(increased vandalism and crime, increased traffic, decreased property values--huh?)
I think that it is natural for people to fear change, but in this case I believe that any fears of the proposed
modest expansion of Boulder Montesorri School will prove equally unfounded.
Thank you for the opportunity to provide input to the Planning Board.
if you have any questions, please feel free to call me.

Dear pon Durso,
i am writing you this letter on behalf of the proposed
expansion of Boulder Montessori School. My son is
currently attending BMS and 1 can say that there has
been no better place for my son to be while i am
attending to my other responsibilities. I have seen my
son's progress in his developmental skilis beyond his
age while at the same time building a community of
friends and supporters that will continue through the
years. BMS has been helping families support
themselves, and each other for some twenty years. By
allowing this expansion Boulder Montessori will be
able to extend it's hand toward fifteen more families
a year and give them the same growing opportunities
that I and my son have been able to enjoy and benefit
from for the last three years, and on into the rest of
our lives.
Thank you for taking the time to read this letter as
well as taking the time to consider how many lives
will be touched if your decision is to allow the
expansion.

Dear Mr. Durso,
I am writing in support of Boulder Montessori School's application to
expand the present school construction to create a third preschool
classroom.
I have had a close association with Boulder Montessori School for the
past 20 years, in various capacities. I have been on the staff of the
Montessori Education Center of the Rockies, whose office is housed at
BMS, for 20 years, and was the Academic Director for 8 years. I have
been a field supervisor for many practicum students there over the years
and as such have observed all the classrooms many times. I have also
given workshops for both staft and parertts, and both my son and my
daughter have worked as assistants in the toddler program.
Since its founding, the school has made an outstanding contribution to
Boulder families. Its high quality Montessori program (accredited by
both the American Montessori Society and the National Association for
the Education of Young Children) is implemented by exceptionally stable
staff which is truly committed to the education of young children as a
parent-educator partnership. It has always had a policy of serving
families from diverse backgrounds, both ethnic and socio-economic, and
working to meet the needs of working parents. Parents reciprocate not
only by participating in school activities, but also by contributing
their time and talents to the ongoing development of their children's
environment. Many of its special features, such as the landscaping with
native plants and the well-designed playground, reflect parent labor.
Traditions such as the annual Rain Forest dinner (to raise money for the
Children's Cloud Forest in Costa Rica) and the family campouts,
create a great deal of loyalty to the school. I have known many BMS
"graduates" who not only visit frequently, but have also gone back there
to work.
Another strength of the school is the Montessori toddler program, of
which there are very few in Colorado. Over the years its environmental
design has become a model which attracts observers from all over the
country. Within its welcoming and inclusive atmosphere, the highly
trained staff also helps young parents to understand and interact with
their children more effectively,
On the national level, Boulder Montessori School has also been
instrumental in the training of Montessori teachers at both the
infant/toddler and preschool levels over the past twenty years. It
served as a training site for MECR during the summer until just a few
years ago, when the number of students became too large for the
facility. It continues to serve as an observation and practicum site
for the training program which has a national reputation for the quality
of its graduates.
Within the Montessori community, BMS is highly respected for its quality
and maturity. Many younger schools in Colorado seek adv'rce from its
staff inembers and benefit from their experience on both educational and
administrative concerns.
Because of its quality, Boulder Montessori has now outgrown its
facility. The projected expansion will enable the school to serve more
families from its long waiting list (my 16-month-old granddaughter has
been on the toddler wait list practically since birth). An additional
classroom will reduce class size to 25 students, a more desirable number
for preschoolers. It will also help to improve the school's financial
standing in order to fund necessities such as teacher benefits, building
maintenance, and playground renovation.
Please enable Boulder Montessori School's continued growth and
development as an outstanding institution recognized for its service to
children, families, and teachers, not only locally but nationally as
well. Should you require any further information, please feel free to
call on me.

Dear Mr. Durso,
My name is Joe Morrone and I work for a company named Employmenr Link as a consultant. We provide
employment services to people with disabilities. A year ago, the Boulder Montessori School hired two of
our consumers. Since then, I have gotten to know Karen Olson and all of her staff. To say that it has been
a positive experience would be a gross understatement. The Boulder Montessori School, of course,
provides a great education to its students but is also a mainstay within our community. They teach their
students more than just math, reading and writing. They teach understanding, forgivness, humility and
honesty. The pertect example is the fact that the Boulder Montessori School hired and continues to
employ two of our consumers as dishwashers. They, of course, are giving our consumers a great
opportunity but they are also teaching their students that everyone is different and thaYs ok. The kids learn
that everyone is equal and if given the right opportunties, everyone can be a success. The Boulder
Montessori School is also a valuable asset to the community as a whole. They instill strong values in their
students and foster a family atompshere. The world would be a much better place to live if more people.

Dear Mr. Durso,
I am writing in support of the proposed expansion of the Boulder
Montessori Schoot (BMS) at 3300 Redstone Road. The expansion will
allow BMS to accommodate more students from the neighborhood with a
negligible effect on the surrounding residences. There is a real
demand for high quality preschools in Boulder as evidenced by the

nurturing and learning environment at the school. BMS provided our children with a wonderful start in their
early years, and many of the same staff inembers are still affiliated with the school. That kind of continuity
is hard to find in any preschools, and we would like to see BMS continue and flourish in its current
location. We believe that BMS' application to expand and increase enrollment will greatly benefit the
school with only minimal impacts on surrounding neighbors. There is plenty of room in the playground
area for the proposed expansion of the activity roomllunch room into the covered sandbox. Surrounded
by the school's playground, a park on one side and open space across the street, ihis should not create
any additional impacts on the neighbors. The increase in enrollment also would have a minimal effect on
surrounding property owners, but would be of substantial importance to the school. It would put the school
on a secure financial footing and allow it to accommodate more families in smaller classes.
Please note our support for this project, and let us know if you have any questions. Hope you and Kris are
well.

February 28, 2001
Dear Mr. Durso:
I am writing in support of the application of Boulder Montessori School
to increase their enrollment by 15 students. My daughter was a member of
the first class at Boulder Montessori and my wife on the first parent board
some 28 years ago. We have followed the institution ever since, as we have
iived in the Table Mesa neighborhood, just down Lehigh St. for ail of our 33
years in the community.
Boulder Montessori is an an incredible gift to the Boulder and Table Mesa
communities and this small expansion will assist in its continuing to
provide high quality pre-school education for the hundreds of South Boulder
families. This small expansion will also assist in providing not only more
needed piaces, but in providing livable salaries for poorly paid staff
members,
For many years, I have sent my future teachers from the University of
Colorado to visit and observe in this unique institution, as it is one of
the best of its kind in the United States. I believe we should do
everything we can as a community to support its efforts to provide quality
settings for our precious children.

Dear pon,
I am writing to voice my support for the expansion of the
Boulder Montessori School (BMS) to provide increased enrollment
while reducing current class sizes. The expansion project
is referred to as "Use Review application number LUR2000-00003."
I currently have my daughter enrolled at BMS. She will
continue to attend for the next academic year as well. Our
daughter thoroughly enjoys her time at BMS and has had only
positive experiences. It is a very nurturing and secure
environment. We feel very fortunate to have the opportunity
to take advantage of the wonderful services provided by BMS.
We hope to have our younger son attend BMS and we are currently
on a wait list to have him join BMS in the future.
My personal feeling is that institutions such as BMS play an
important role in our communities. They offer enriching, safe
learning and daycare options for famiiies within the community.
I truly hope that the City of Boulder Planning Board will
approve the proposed expansion of Boulder Montessori School.
I give my full support to the proposed expansion with the
hope that BMS can continue to be a successful service within
our community well into the future.

Dear Mr. Durso,
W ith respect to Use Review LUR2000-00003
I write to you concerning the application made to you by
Boulder Montessori School, to expand the function and facilities
of their school.
My wife and I are parents of a former student of the school, and
I served a term as President of the Board of the school, and we
have both served as fund-raisers. All of this was some time ago,
during the time that the school moved to its current location,
and became established there, in the late 1970's. Those were
somewhat precarious times for the school, but the necessary
investments were made by the school, its staff, and its parents,
in the quality of the school, and the education of the children.
In the time since, the school has become a well-recognized
institution of Boulder, and Colorado, and of the entire Rocky
Mountains region, It is something of a model of what such a schoo!
should, and must, be. It has served Boulder more than well, and
has done everything that is possible to do to be a good citizen and
neighbor in its area. It has become somewhat legendary in its
training of new teachers, as well as offering the best of
foundations in education for children.
This new proposal, considering all that has gone before, is
modest, is in keeping with the character of the school, adds to
its service to the community, and it is well with the capability
of the school management to accomplish with no additional impact
on the neighborhood.
In the roles mentioned above, and as residents and ratepayers in
Boulder for the last 25 years, my wife and I wish to be counted
amongst the supporters of this application.
Yours sincerely,

Dear Mr. Curso
As a Boulder Montessori parent (both ot my boys have been students here) I want to express my support
for their plans to expand their facilities. You are aware of the specifications of their proposal, I assume -
One of the important features of the plan is that class size would actually be reduced as a consequence of
the expansion, certainly a valuable component of the plan for parents. As a parent who lives in the
neighborhood, and who has referred several of my friends to BMS, I think it is important that more children
would be served, and more teacher attention would be facilitated by this plan.
I might add that I think BMS has, over the years, proved to be a great neighbor, and it is hard to imagine
that would change.
Thank you for your support of the expansion.

These comments are regarding Review # LUR2000-00003
I was one of the founding parents for Boulder Montessori School and have
personally received many benefits from the school. Not only did two of my
children go there when it was a pre-school at Mt. Calvary Lutheran church,
but also I did my Montessori Internship at this site. For the past 25
years I have owned and operated Sunshine House Montessori School in
Boulder. Most of my staff have been trained at MECR, the training program
situated in the current BMS building. Not only did BMS give my children an
excellent start in their academic life but also provided me with the
incentive to become a Montessori directress and begin my own school in
Boulder.
I highly respect the decisions that BMS has made to meet the changing needs
of the community. BMS offers full day care and toddler programs as well as
continuing to host teacher training programs for infanUtoddler, preschool
and elementary Montessori schools. Their impact is widespread as well as
local.
I strongly hope that you will unanimously approve the modest expansion of BMS.
Their goals of smalier class sizes and an expanded kitchen/lunch space are
both admirable and necessary.

Dear Mr. Durso:
I understand that the Planning Board will soon be considering a request from Boulder
Montessori School to expand its building and update its playground. Being the mother
of two, I can't think of a better addition to our neighborhood.
My husband and I moved to Tincup Circle five years ago. While the homes are lovely
here in south Boulder, yards are usually small. We spend a great of time playing with
our daughters (ages 3 and 5) in area parks so that they have room to run and
something to climb on, other than our living room furniture. The staff at Boulder
Montessori School has always made it known that neighborhood children were
welcome on their playground whenever classes weren't in session. Our older
daughter, Alex, is now a student at Boulder Montessori, but even before she was
enrolled there, we loved the school's playground. The school also allows the
neighborhood to use its building for activities such as issuing RTD Eco-passes.
I've been a mediator in Boulder and Jefferson counties for six years, so I understand
the importance of compromise and being a good neighbor. I can understand that the
condo owners around the school might be concerned about having more students in
the building and, possibly, more noise coming from the playground. After all, these
are their homes and they deserve solitude and peace. However, students from
Boulder Montessori are on the playground at limited times during the day, not all day.
Also, they are not at school in the evenings, on holidays or on weekends, when most
people are at home. But kids - all kids, whether Montessori students or not - need an
opportunity to run and jump and squeal and laugh. IYs part of growing up. Being able
to do those things on Boulder Montessori's playground has been wonderful and fun
experience for children in this area for more than 20 years. As the parent of a child
currently at the school, I would be very support of exploring reasonable noise
abatement solutions (planting trees, building a fence along the north side of the
playground, etc.) if that would make condo owners more comfortable. As I said, we all
should strive to be good neighbors.
Boulder Montessori is a valuable part of our neighborhood. Many children meet there
as toddlers, move into the public school system together and are fast friends for years.
The staff does a magnificent job of exciting children about lifelong learning. And the
school has generously shared its building for neighborhood activities. IYs my hope
that we can expand the school and improve the playground so that more children will have the
opportunity to begin their years of learning with the rich expel'lence found at Boulder
Montessori School.
Thank you. I appreciate your and the board members' consideration.

Expansion of Boulder Montessori School
I seek your advocacy on behalf of BMS. We live in the neighborhood, and our

IPs really a great school and a resource for the community. They provide
scholarships for low-income families--including a couple that receive care @

Anyway, they have a long waiting list and expansion would help shorten it.
I have kids, so I am biased. I know children can be noisy on a playground,

Dear Mr. Durso,
I would like to take a moment and encourage you to accept the expansion of
the Boulder Montessori School(BMS). My daughter has been a student at BMS
for almost 2 years. Prior to BMS we were at two other Boulder Child Care
facilities, one was extremely poor and the other satisfactory. In our
almost 2 years at BMS, the school has exceeded any of our preconceived
expectations for a child care facility and school. The school has become
part of our family. My daughter is aware of her community, the environment,
learning spanish, yoga and trusts her teachers and classmates. My daughter
is thriving in this unique and extremely wonderfui school. In addition, my
son will enter BMS this summer. Where I send my children is one of the most
important decision I can make and I trust and respect Boulder Montessori
Schooi. I see a real value in having a school like this in Boulder and
would like to offer this experience to other families in the area. I think
this is the type of school that makes Boulder the unique and wonderful place
that it is. Thank you for your time.

Dear Mr. Durso
I am writing in support of Boulder Montessori School's application to
expand their school enrollment by 15 students and the size of their
building to accommodate a third preschooi classroom. Our daughter Mia
spent three wonderful years at this school, which far exceeded my
expectations for an early learning experience thanks to the warm,
supportive environment provided by the teachers and the school's
wonderful setting. Mia thrived in the intimate environment and
beautiful outdoor setting facing the Flatrions and open countryside.
The school's student-centered learning experience was the perfect mix
of independent exploration and gentle guidance. Unlike her earlier
daycare experiences in Boulder, she was always eager to be with her
friends and teachers. When we enrolled her at another
well-established school for more advanced instruction, the separation
was very difficult. In fact the difficulty of choosing between two
excellent schools caused me to send Mia back for one last year at BMS
before she began kindergarten at Bixby this year.
The staff and physical setting are well suited to their proposed
expansion. It will help to keep the costs down: BMS has a
well-deserved reputation in the Boulder community for being the very
best school of its class--but it is also one of the most expensive.
It makes good sense to increase the size of the school in a way that
simultaneously permits the class size to go down. And it is a
wonderful way to stabilize tuition rates and expand the diversity of
the program without calling on the parents for extra donations every
time they turn around--as so many other private schools do. If you
are familiar with the school and its setting, you already know that
its playground is very large--certainly large enough to accommodate
the expansion they request without detriment to the playground,
garden, and outdoor eating area.
Thank you for your consideration of this worthy project

I am writing this letter in support of the Boulder Montessori School expansion project.
Boulder Montessori has been providing quality early childhood programs for the past 25
years. The school and the director, Kazen Olson, are well respected in the Boulder
Community.
As a member of the Montessori Community for the past 25 years and a resident of
Boulder for the past 18 years,l can attest to the tremendous interest in Montessori
education and to the success of this educational method. I currently serve as the assistant
principal at Community Montessori School, a focus school in the Boulder Valley School
District. When the proposal for this school was being considered in 1994, surveys were
conducted to determine need for addirional Montessori classes in this area. At that time 8
out of 10 Montessori schools surveyed had waitlists of one year or more. In fact, two of
the schools were undergoing expansion projects to attempt to meet the needs of the
community. From my current observations there is still more demand than supply. Since
our inception in 1995 we are finding that we still have twice as many applicants as we
have spaces. Boulder Montessori and other Montessori schools in the area continue to
have waitlisfs as well.
Recent research on brain development has demonstrated the crucial need for early
childhood enrichment. Montessori education has been an internationally effective
method of early childhood education for the past 100 years. As an established model for
early childhood education we strongly support the expansion of quality Montessori
programs in the area. If I can be of additional assistance please do not hesitate to contact
me.

Boulder Montessori 8chool Expansion
Dear Mc Durso:
The Ruh Family would Iike to express its strong support for the expansion of Boulder
Montessori School. We researched a number of schools in the community before
enrolling our daughter in the toddler program more than a year ago. We recognized that
Boulder Montessori had a strong history of serving the community with an expert staff
located in a special place atop Shanahan Ridge. The expansion of Boulder Montessori to
create a third preschool classroom and larger activity/lunch room would greatly enhance
the school's offerings and make other projects and benefits possible.
The opportunity to serve more children including our daughter who will be moving into
the preschool program in the coming year is encouraging. Having a third classroom to
accommodate more children and at the same time reduce the number per classroom is a
highly desirable. That goal speaks to the yuality and ongoing vision of Boulder
Montessori to provide an environment to best serve the children as they "learn what they
live." It also supparts the staff in hauing positive, interactive expe•-~ences with the
children.
We have observed that the school is committed to continuous improvement of its
programs and staff. To see the facility expand as a future investment would strengthen
the mission of the school and its service to the community. The school can also count on
our support in any efforts to raise support for the entire expansion to make it a success.

I am writing in regards to the Use Review Application # LUR2000-00003 for Boulder

my story and suppart for this application.
Boulder Montessori School has been an important part of my life sntce it's opening in
1973. I still have many vivid memories of my three years of pre-school there. I continue to visit
the school. I have watched it grow and move from a church basement to a building of its very
own. By then my mother had begun to working as a teacher and is still there.
Not only is there real family at this school for me but a sunogate family as well. As a
teenager, I volunteered 'm the classroom and then eventually worked as an assistant and teacher.
The peopla there foster growth and learning in tha children as well as in the families and staff
members. There is a peaceful and productive community of students, families and staffthat
return year after year to show support for this great school.
This community also continues to grow and the environment for the children must grow
with it. Additional space is needed to allow for smaller class sizes and the important daily care
and education of children. I fixlly support the expansion of Boulder Montessori School so thaf
they may give the children and their families a beautiful and long-lasting space for education and
life.
Having taught at a number of other schools I can say that Boalder Montessari has a
unique and beautifu[ facility. It's consideration for the children that use the space everyday is very
special. I know that what they chose to build wiA be uniquely adapted to the needs of the
clutdren, families and staff. An addition, it will allow far greater enjoyment of tha views of the
adjacent Open Space and nearby Foothills.
There is no other school like Boulder Montessori SchooL It has been valuable in my life
and without a doubt in many others' as well. Please allow this school to grow and change with
the needs of the community and the children. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Jennifer S. West

Dear Mr, purso,
Februnry 28, 2001
I am writing to express my belief in the importance of Boulder Montessori School; what it
currently gives to the community and whqt it hopes to keep giving.
First I am writing as a parent of two children at this school. It gives me great joy to see
my children in such a nurturing and vibrant environment. BMS touches their lives in a way
that will effect them in years to come. The teachers and staff genuinely care about
each child and help to build up their self esteem and their excitement about learning. I
hope you will seriously look at the request to expand BMS so that more children can be
nurtured in this way.
I am also a scholarship recipient. I couldn't afford n Montessori educntion for my
children without earning a scholarship for their tuition. BMS is dedicnted to helping ALL
families benefit from this environment, which is so important in the context of a fairly
wealthy surrounding city.
Before T had children, I was also on staff at BMS and enjoyed the time as an nssistant
teacher. When my first child was born I stnrted working in the Montessori Education
:,;. Center. So I have seen this wonderful school from many different angles and I believe
strongly that BMS will continue to give to the surrounding community by providing
enrichment and openness.
Thank you for listening.
Sincerely, (~~>l ~, ^ ~

To Whom It May Concern
I am wriring this letter to urge the Planning Board to approve the proposed expansion of
Boulder Montessori School, BMS, Use Review Application Number LUR2000-00003.
As a resident of Table Mesa and a working mother of two, I find the physical building
and educational setting provided by BMS deserving of expansion.
In this day and age of the limited availability of high quality day care options, BMS
provides the community with a valuable resource. Not only does the school provide a
safe, nurturing day care setting, but it also prepares our youngest community members
for entry into the Boulder Valley educational system. My daughter Ha1ey has attended
BMS since last fall, and has flourished in the supportive academic environment provided
by the school's teachers and staf£ I hope to enroll me son for the fall 2002 term.
Expanding the existin~ facility would help BMS prepare more studenYs to attend local
elementary schools.
Boulder Montessari provides a service that is in great demand heit in Table Mesa. t
personally have three neighbors who are currently on the waiting list, hoping to get their
child enrolled for next fall. Expansion of this facility would be a step in the right
direction. IY would alleviate the concern facing so many working parents - the quast for
high quality day care in South Boulder. Therefore, I strongly urge the Planning Board to
expand upon success, and approve af the Boulder Montessori addition.
Sincerely,
/_~ji .

Dear Mr. Durso,
We are writing in support of the expanded enrollment and the creation of a third
preschool classroom at Boulder Montessori School. Bob and I have sent our four
children to the school from 1980 through 1995. This school has provided a wonderful
place to begin their education. The staff is excellent and adding another classroom will
allow more children to take advantage of the school. The natural surroundings are a
perfect place for a preschool.
This school provides an important service to the neighborhood. There are not many
quality preschools in this section of town. It creates a sense of community as
neighborhood parents meet one another for fhe first fime, and join in conversations about
local issues and child rearing.
As an employee of Boulder Montessori School I have to comment on the stable and well
trained staff that have been part of this community for thirty years. Adding this classroom
will allow the school to have a lower class size and to stabilize its budget. This non-
profit school was started as a service to area parents and stilt serves that function today.
Clearly it would be an advantage to the neighborhood and the school to allow this small
expansion.
Sincerely,
'~a~ -- ~i+~ ~nc~vy.
Bob and Amy Condon
