15 <br />topography. Staff determined that to keep more trees and character <br />the trails might deviate from time to time on the 5% slope requirement. <br />Pool Capacity: Pool capacity is not a Special Use Permit regulated condition. <br />c) Phased Sequencing -Condition 37 of Special Use Permit. <br />Staff Comment:See response to #1. <br />d) Path Easements -The required paths will be completed prior to the <br />developers leaving the project. <br />Concerns Regarding Churton Grove Phase /V (please refer to Mr. Buck's <br />correspondence) <br />Phase IV will have an all-purpose field constructed at the northwest corner of the site. <br />Its purpose is to provide a suitable field sport recreation area for residents and their <br />guests. <br />1. Site Suitability of Proposed Recreation Parcel <br />a. Transmission utility easement on all purpose field site---The section of the <br />ordinance with regard to utility easements is not applicable to the <br />Development. <br />b. Wetlands ---The wetlands on this site are not in the active recreation area. <br />Again, the site can have wetlands, but the recreation area is not allowed to <br />disturb the wetlands. <br />c. Parking --- The parking on this site is the most that can be accommodated. <br />The streets have been built to accommodate on-street parking. <br />d. Soccer Field Size --- The field is not a soccer field; it is an all-purpose field. <br />2. Acreage of Proposed Recreation Parcel <br />a. Site Suitability ---The acreages are valid. As stated earlier, the walking trails <br />have not been included in the active recreation area, nor has the active <br />recreation that will be constructed as a part of the second section of the town <br />home project. The active recreation acreage will be well in excess of that <br />specified in the SUP. <br />b. Condition 27a and 27b will be met when Phase 4 and the next section of the <br />town homes are recorded. <br />3. Lack of Connecting Paths <br />a. There will be sidewalks constructed in Phase 4. There is no SUP or <br />ordinance requirement that mandates a 30-40-foot width path to connect two <br />recreation areas especially when sidewalks and trails will be built as the <br />project progresses. <br />b. The sidewalk and trail system proposed is logical. Sidewalks are set back <br />from the edge of the street by three feet just like the rest of the project. <br />4. Required Cross Walk Locations on East and West Hatterleigh <br />
