I have also met and spoken with the <br />applicant, Mr. Roger Dale Stephens. <br />Two issues of the proposal are of interest to our department: <br />1- provision of open space -- The proposed location of <br />this area is appropriate and the amount exceeds the minimum <br />required. <br />2. provision of required recreation area -- The <br />proposed location of this area is appropriate and the amount <br />exceeds the minimum required. The developer proposes to <br />improve this area with the amenities listed below. I have <br />provided ray recommendation concerning each. <br />(a) one (1) tennis court -- This offers an excellent <br />recreation opportunity for the residents. I have forwarded <br />tennis court lay --out information to Mr. Stephens. <br />(b) a picnic area -- I recommend a small shelter (20 x 20 ) <br />with a minimum of four (4) tables and an additional 4 tables <br />scattered throughout the wooded area. One trash receptacle <br />should be provided for every two (2) of these tables, not <br />associated with the shelter, <br />(c) children's swings -- I recommend a minimum of three (3) <br />children's swings and one (1) children's sliding beard be <br />incorporated with a small sandbox to compose a play area. <br />This play area need not be fenced, in that it is buffered and <br />far removed from vehicular traffic. I have agreed to assist <br />Mr. Stephens in appropriately locating this play area within <br />the recreation area. <br />(d) pedestrian paths -- These paths are located <br />appropriately. I would recommend that the streets in the <br />planned development be clearly marked to show those points of <br />intersection with a pedestrian path (signs and painted cross- <br />walks) in that numbers of children will be "running the <br />Playground" across these streets. <br />Offices located at 300 W.
