Hoyes and I have talked. Stoeppelwerth is working on the cales and you will receive a separate set of bridge plans. You had asked about the sidewalks on the cul-de-loops we would construct them just like section one. Also the right-of-way does not go around it but becomes common area with ingress/egress easement in concrete without curbing or sidewalks.

Get your Landscape Plan to S. Brewer as soon as possible. We need this approved by Scot before BZA? Yes before BZA May 24th' On the plat C200 sheet working with Utility for the dedication of right-of-way Brazos Drive and long Cherry Creek Boulevard this is similar to Section One to complete the curb without leaving this open patch of grass. Complete the short section of the bridge as well and curb it. The amenity area the most critical is landscape and that the parking meets the twentyffour feet (24') isle and nine by twenty (9 x 20) or ten by eighteen (10 x 18) spaces. The ordinance requires a minimum of 2,000 square feet pool area with two lifeguards and you show 1,458 square feet. Do we need to submit a variance if we want to change that? Yes. Get a Development Standards Variance application. Get that filed in the next few days. Do some research and take into account the pools in the area. Analysis: The pool and amenity area will be landscaped accordingly, and the structure will be built with unique materials, giving the neighborhood an aesthetic focal point. The petitioner has not responded with certain requests made by DOCS. Findings of Fact: SU l.) The Special Use in the Flood Plain District, Ordinance Z-160, Section 21.6 as amended does not apply and all prerequisites have been met by the Petitioner as verified by: The site plan does not show the property in a flood plain. 2.) The Special Use will be consistent with the Character and the Permitted Land Use of the Zoning District and Carmel/Clay Comprehensive Plan because: the Comprehensive Plan low-intensity residential area policy states that these areas should be served by and accessible to... parks or playgrounds and schools and bicycle and/or pedestrian trails... (Comp. Plan, pg.5-5). 3.) The Special Use is physically suitable for the land in question because: The pool house and pool are physically suitable for the site because it is in a common area, so that residents may enjoy an amenity in the neighborhood. 4.) s.) 6.) The Special Use will not be injuriously or adversely affect the adjacent land or property values because: The pool house and pool will increase or keep property values the same, since the proposed use is an amenity to the neighborhood. The Special Use will not adversely affect vehicular or pedestrian traffic flow, nor the adequate availability of water, sewage, or storm drainage facilities or police or fire protection because: The poolhouse and pool will not affect the availability of facilities. All utilities already exist. The Board has reviewed the requirements of the Ordinance Z-160, Section 21.3 (1-25) as they relate to this Special Use, and does not find that those criteria prevent the granting of the Special Use: The site plan has been reviewed, and the meets all requirements for a pool, poolhousc, and amenity area, except a commitment ora lifeguard and the pool being a minimum of 2000 square feet in area. Recommendation: The department recommends negative consideration of Docket No. 04040003 SU due to the lack of required pool size and letter addressing lifeguards.
