9 <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> June 19, 2002 <br /> Page 2 <br /> Issue 1 — Request that developer meet "end of 2002" deadline for pool and <br /> clubhouse availability ' <br /> The SUP Condition #27 (see attached) sets forth the recreation requirements which are <br /> primarily active and passive dedications do not specify the requirement of a clubhouse. <br /> The pool fence is noted under 27g and would be built later as part of the multi-family <br /> project (Phase 2b) but has been approved by staff to be moved up in the project to a <br /> site within Phase 2a where the approximately 15 acres of recreation land is centrally <br /> located. A concept site plan for the active recreation area has been informally <br /> submitted. There is not a requirement for a clubhouse and no timeframe on building the <br /> pool except that it must occur before Phase III single family. <br /> The county cannot force but only prompt the developer to proceed in sequence to build <br /> the pool in Phase 2 within the time period for the 2nd — 25% of units/2 %2 year period <br /> which extends to January, 2005. <br /> Issue 2—Request that type and number of multi-housing units be identified <br /> The quantity of multi-family units is a maximum 216 units. The density is approximately <br /> 7.5 dwelling units an acre on approximately 29 acres. There is no site plan for this area <br /> at this time, only a concept plan (see Concept Plan 1) submitted in 1986 which roughly <br /> reflects a town home product. The SUP does not dictate bedroom number or price <br /> range, nor can our site plan requirements. Staff has informally discussed the need to <br /> have a mix of 'reasonable cost' housing which can more easily occur in a town home <br /> product. <br /> Issue 3 — Request that the clubhouse and pool be of solid construction <br /> The SUP does not mention the type of pool construction. During the building permit <br /> stage, staff would ensure the design meets state standards which offer a variety of <br /> acceptable construction methods. The.construction design is a product of initial cost <br /> and long-term maintenance and is the developer's choice unless included in approved <br /> Homeowners Association documents. <br /> Issue 4— Request that no membership be sold outside our community <br /> The only zoning limitation on outside pool memberships that the county can regulate is <br /> the threshold between a private community pool and a commercial public pool. That <br /> threshold is liberal for private pool purposes because a membership system can invoke <br /> the private pool guidelines. The ratio of internal to external memberships is not written <br /> into the code but a reasonable standard could be 80% internal. From a Health <br /> Department standpoint, whether there is any ratio of internal to external is a moot <br /> subject, any'collective use' is determined to be a public pool health standard. <br /> The county (through letter #1) explained the process to make amendment to the SUP <br /> conditions but also noted that other planning areas of current interest would likely be <br /> folded into a current day reanalysis and processing through the Board of <br /> Commissioners. <br /> a:%admin laakAoortasDUinkldiurtongrome&19.02Wa <br />
