Concerns:
+ This program called for the the entry to the playground to be visible from the school.Do I need to orientate the school's entrance toward the entrance to the playground?
+ The playground called for 6800 sf. I got up to 6800.5 sf.
+ Will the monument block the visibilityof the Day Care entrance of Bentley Ave.?

Please comment. Don't hold back!!. Thanks again.

A couple quick comments but not exhaustive by any means:
* The HC parking looks like it is outside the 90' from the Daycare entry
* The playground is o be shaded from the sun
* Not sure if the front of the daycare is the view side to the monument
those are my thoughts, maybe someone else will chime in.
