Cameron,
Try the following logic and let's talk tomorrow if we can.
When I read Division 4.4(D)(3)Neighborhood Centers., I see that we meet
section (a)thru(e)as follows:
(a) 90% of the dwellings are within 3/4 of a mile of the proposed
neighborhood center.
(b) The neighborhood center is planned as an integral part of the
surrounding residential neighborhood.
(c) The neighborhood center contains two of the listed uses:
(1) a neighborhood recreation facility
(2) a publicly -owned pavilion proposed to be located along the bike trail
in close proximity to the recreation center
(d) The neighborhood center is integrated with the surrounding residential
area and is readily accessible by streets and sidewalks.
(e) What additional outdoor space is appropriate when you already have a
neighborhood park and you have a neighborhood pool with adjacent outdoor
space for picnicking and other outdoor recreation activity. We suggest
that the proposed 2400-foot bike trail running diagonally thru the project
providing direct bike access to the neighborhood center is a good
alternative.
We are requesting that a Modification to allow the proposed bike trail and
it's associated easement to fulfill the requirement for (e) Outdoor spaces,
because it is publicly accessible, leads to and is connected to the
neighborhood center, and provides the opportunity for an additional
recreational activity associated with the center and the neighborhood park.
Looking back at other neighborhood centers that have been accepted, such as
a fire station and a church at Westchase, I believe the Maple Hill
Neighborhood Center with a pool, picnic facilities, pavilion, a bike trail
and a neighborhood park accomplishes the goal of providing a neighborhood
social interaction and focal point extremely well, at least equal too or
better than what could technically meet the standard.
Let me know what you think
Linda
