[quote=Anonymous]Re Discovery fields/trailers:

Discovery is located on the Williamsburg parcel owned by Arlington Public Schools, and the county board approved construction of Discovery on that parcel per Use Permit U-3372-13-1. The portion of the parcel approved for the use permit is the portion where APS built the school, the playgrounds and the parking lot; those were the only portions APS was authorized to develop for use by Discovery. Because the project would eliminate a soccer field (where they put in the parking lot), the county board extracted a compromise from APS at the time that the CB would approve the use permit for Discovery only if the remaining field space could be upgraded with turf and other amenities and if that space would remain available for joint use by APS and the county. Discovery students may use those open fields during the school day, but APS cannot put trailers on those fields or do anything else to interfere with their use by the county.

There's a lot of good information in this document about the development of Discovery: http://arlington.granicus.com/MetaViewer.php?view_id=2&clip_id=2651&meta_id=113029. It is rather lengthy, though, so I will direct you to page 29 for information about the Joint Use Agreement between APS and the County on the fields. Also see pages 75-77, where development and maintenance of the fields for joint use is a mandatory condition of the ongoing use permit.[/quote]
