I have included the appropriate plats which I am referencing. These plats are 23 <br />all contained in Attachment D which has been entered into the record. Phase I, page 12 deals 24 <br />with the dedication of open space around Strouds Creek which is also referred to as Nancy Hill 25 <br />Creek. These names become synomous depending on which plat you are looking at. This 26 <br />includes the dedication of an open space pedestrian and non-motorized vehicle easement which 27 <br />is required per Condition 27 of the approved recorded special use permit. The plat which is on 28 <br />page 3 includes 5.260 acres of area. Phase IV is referred to on Plat Book 103, page 63 and 64. 29 <br />We have the dedication of open space for the development of trails and pedestrian access points. 30 <br />There are 4.98 acres as denoted on this plat. We also have on Phase IV the dedication of active 31 <br />recreation space between lots 107 and 106. This is the top lot Mr. Buck was referring to earlier. 32 <br />This is .292 acres for the plat and in Phase IV we have the dedication of active recreation space 33 <br />specifically in an open grass play area according to the plat that is on Plat Book 103 page 64, 34 <br />page 5 of this document, it is 5.4 acres. Moving to the Braddock Park multi-family portion of the 35 <br />special use permit, is on pages 6 through 12 which also includes the site plan approved by the 36 <br />planning staff. We have 2.381 acres per the approved plat and on the next page we have the 37 <br />Phase II a recreation area (located in the single-family portion of the project). This is the area 38 <br />including a pool, club house, parking, basketball court, tennis court, playground and gazebo and 39 <br />also includes dedication of open space around Strouds Creek aka Nancy Hill Creek development 40 <br />of a trail system and includes the imposition of an open space pedestrian non-motorized vehicular 41 <br />easement per Condition 27 of the recorded SUP. There is a total according to the plat and we 42 <br />have provided you on pages 13 through the end of the document, three plats that represent this 43 <br />property a total of 16.127 acres of land area reserved for rec purposes. Note that on the plat 44 <br />contained on page 14, we have a note indicating there are 7.06 acres reserved for active 45 <br />recreation and 9.905 acres reserved for passive recreation. Adding all these together there is a 46 <br />total of 15 acres of active recreation and a total of 19 acres of passive recreation of this project. 47 <br />This figure, I should add does not include sidewalks that are not captured in these various 48 <br />recorded documents. There are foot paths and sidewalks throughout the project not referenced 49 <br />here. I would like to remind the board, the regulations in place at the time the special use was 50 <br />approved most notably those establishing the requirements for the provision of rec amenities 51
