New school site formula devised
(Brunswick) Times Record, November 30, 2006
(excerpt) Architects will score potential parcels from one to 10 in each of 23 categories, assigning double points for the categories the committee gives the most import: geographic location and size and shape of parcel, ideally 10 to 25 acres and rectangular.
The double-weighted categories combined the following to create the scoring rubric architects will use to select the top sites: alignment with state planning office standards; proximity to established residential neighborhoods; compliance with local zoning and planning ordinances; potential for building visibility from the roadside; relationship to abutting properties; vehicular congestion; amount of usable land; potential for two-road access; bus route compatibility; sidewalk accessibility; topography; and soil.
Other criteria include access to public sewer and water; three-phase power access; stormwater management; site development costs like ledge and foundation materials; off-site development costs like turning lanes and sidewalk development; solar orientation; road speed and frontage; energy efficiency potential; and access to natural features.
