My wife Sherrie and I live at 312 Mapleton Ct. Our back yard is adjacent to the swimming pool and bath house facility under proposal in the project. We are very pleased to hear that the swimming pool will be eliminated. Over the past six years we have experienced. many problems with the operation of the pool and with the general conditions surrounding it. Our neighborhood will definately be safer and more enjoyable without it. We are also very concerned about the future development of the property now occupied by the pool and hope to have some input as to what will be done there. We proposed a solution to the Albion Way Homeowner's Association which would help to eliminate some of the trash and weeds on the west side of the cul-de-sac on Albion Way. Our suggestion wag to move our fence to the east approximately ten feet closer to the sidewalk. This would clean up a great deal of trash and weeds along the west side of the street. This idea was presented and apparently rejected by some members of the HOA because it would supposedly block "the view". "The view" they have now is not a very pretty one. Over the past six years there has been very little to no maintenance and upkeep of this property. We are concerned.that if this property is turned over to the HOA, how and who will be responsible for maintenance and use of the area along our fence and the existing pool area. We would like our wishes and concerns to be considered by the Planning and Zoning Board and/or City Council as we are directly affected by what will happen with this property. Thank you in advance for your attention and consideration in this matter. Pd herrie Quinn 312 Mapleton Ct.

Major Amendment to South Glen PUD, Second Filing, Final - #110-79B December 16, 1999 P & Z Meeting Page 4 pool be eliminated. These lots would be accessed from Albion Way. This request to eliminate the swimming pool and bath house does not include the request for approval of the lots. A request for approval of a Project Development Plan for the 3 single family lots must be submitted separately at a later date. This request would be evaluated against the applicable criteria in the LUC. The entire South Glen PUD, Second Filing contains 4.2 acres, of which 2.51 acres are open space in the project. The open space, including the swimming pool facility, currently equals 60% of the project. With the elimination of the swimming pool facility and the inclusion of the 3 single family lots (should they be approved at a later date) the open space area in the Second Filing would be decreased from 2.51 acres to 2.12 acres, or 51 % of the total of 4.2 acres. Section 118-83.K Substantive Design Standards of the Subdivision of Land Ordinance (the ordinance in effect at time of approval of the South Glen PUD, Second Filing) required that open space (including recreational facilities or structures) in any project comprise at least 30% of the total gross area of a residential PUD. Even with the elimination of the swimming pool facility the open space in this development would exceed the minimum requirement. FINDINGS OF FACT/CONCLUSIONS: In evaluating the request for the Major Amendment to the South Glen PUD, Second Filing (to eliminate the existing swimming pool and bath house facility at the east end of the Second Filing), staff makes the following Findings of Fact: 1. The proposal has been evaluated against the criteria as set forth in Section 2.2.10(B) Major Amendments of the Land Use Code (LUC). 2. The elimination of the swimming pool and bath house does not violate any of the requirements set forth in Article 3 — General Development Standards nor Division 4.4 — Low Density Mixed -Use Neighborhood District in Article 4 — Districts in the LUC. 3. The elimination of the swimming pool (open space) facility would not put the project out of compliance with Section 118-83.K of the Subdivision of Land (the ordinance in effect at the time of approval of the South Glen PUD, Second Filing). Major Amendment to South Glen PUD, Second Filing, Final - #110-79B December 16, 1999 P & Z Meeting Page 3 3. Pertinent Land Use Code Criteria: The elimination of the swimming pool and bath house does not violate any of the requirements set forth in Article 3 — General Development Standards nor Division 4.4 — Low Density Mixed -Use Neighborhood District in Article 4 — Districts in the LUC. In fact, the entire South Glen PUD, Second Filing is located within 800' — 1,000' of the existing City -owned Troutman Park (a 20 acre neighborhood park) to the south and west. Section 4.4(D)(7) of the LUC requires that either a neighborhood parts or a privately owned park, that is at least 1 acre in size, shall be located within a maximum of 113 mile (1,760) of at least 90% of the dwellings in a development project as measured along street frontage. The entire South Glen PUD, Second Filing project (100% of the 40 dwelling units) is within 1,000' of Troutman Park. 4. Applicant's Request: This request for a major amendment to the South Glen PUD, Second Filing is to eliminate an existing swimming pool that has become a nuisance to the existing development. The swimming pool is currently not in use, as a result of vandalism that has occurred over the past few years. Currently the swimming pool poses a potential danger to children that may be playing in the area. The developer has informed the residents of this apartment complex of the potential elimination of the swimming pool and there has not been any negative response. Also, the developer's intent is to replace the existing swimming pool facility with 3 single family lots that would front on Albion Way. The proposed lots are intended to be Habitat for Humanity houses, of which there are a few existing on Albion Way. A Project Development Plan will be submitted at a later date for the proposed 3 lots. 5. Staff Evaluation: The request to eliminate the existing swimming pool and bath house facility does not violate any requirements as set forth in Article 3 or Article 4 of the LUC. Although this would constitute the loss of a previously approved recreational amenity, after inspection of the facility it has been determined that the condition of the swimming pool and bath house presents a public health and safety hazard to the neighborhood. The facility is neither properly maintained nor adequately secured to prevent access, especially by small children. The expressed intent by the developer is to provide 3 single family lots, similar to those in the South Glen PUD, Fourth Filing, on the property should the swimming Major Amendment to South Glen PUD, Second Filing, Final - #110-79B December 16, 1999 P & Z Meeting Page 2 COMMENTS: 1.
