Residents of the PUD will have sufficient usable recreation area and open <br />space that is convenient and safely accessible. <br /> <br />The February 28, 2018 Staff Report discusses Criteria 8 on Page 36 of 62. (Of note is that the <br />Staff Report devotes only 4 sentences to this Criteria.) <br /> <br />The Committee presents its discussion of Criteria 8 on Pages 85 through 91 of the March 7, 2018 <br />Response Document, with additional testimony presented below: <br /> <br />The Staff Report indicates that fficient usable <br />recreation area and open space in compliance with the above standard.(Emphasis added.) <br /> <br />The Staff Report immediately continues with hed by Tracts B, C, <br />and D on the flatter portion of the site will provide the opportunity for relatively easy access for <br />passive <br />(Emphasis added.) <br /> <br />The Committee points out the following: <br /> <br />The Response Comm <br />D on Pages 88 and 89. In summary, the areas, while located in the generally flatter area of the <br />project, are NOT, in and of themselves, flat. <br /> <br />Tract C at approximately 1,140 SF and an approximate slope of 35% is the steepest and the <br />smallest. As a point of reference, 1,200 SF is the size of a generous 3-car garage. Tract C is the <br />green area to the right in the picture below. It is located at the intersection of Capital Drive and <br />Cupola Drive in the corner of Lot 21. <br /> <br />See screenshot below taken from Site Plan L 3.1. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Page 1 <br /> <br />
