S-07-13 The Collegian: Active Recreation Area Plan Summary Report of Active Recreation Component Parks, Recreation & Community Enhancement Committee Meeting on February 27, 2007 Page 2 of 4 10 of the Zoning Ordinance. The Plan indicates that 37,421 S.F. of land would be reserved as active recreation space. One area of Active Open Space is proposed as a swimming pool that will be surrounded by a terrace or deck located on the second floor courtyard on the south side of the complex. There is a walkway that goes from the north side of the courtyard back to the swimming pool. The walkway will be surrounded by trees (in raised planters) and is surrounded by green roof plantings. A multi purpose recreation room will be located on the second floor of the building. The plan also provides a shuffleboard court and a bocce ball court on the roof. The courts will be connected by a concrete walking path. The courts and walking path will be surrounded by a six (6) foot high ornamental fence. The rest of the roof will be planted with green roof plants. The majority of the roof will be inaccessible due to the ornamental fence. Staff has concerns over the amount of active recreation area, as it appears this plan does not meet the area requirements. The area of green plantings on the roof is not accessible. Active recreation areas shall be accessible to all residents within the development (Article 5 Section 10.151). Staff does not consider the green plantings on the roof as a part of the active recreation area as it is not accessible to the residents within the development. Staff recommends the applicant look into the process of making a cash in lieu of active recreation area, for a portion of the required active recreation area. This may be a route that the applicant may need to go if the plan does not meet the requirements for the amount of active recreation area. The acreage and square footage of the proposed active recreation areas (shuffleboard court, bocce court, the developed walking path, recreation room and the terrace) on the plan need to be identified. This will help determine the amount of land that meets the active recreation area and the amount that may be needed to proceed with the cash in lieu of scenario. This will require documentation to determine the cost per acre of the land that will then determine the amount of money that would be required for the cash in lieu process. This recreational component must be reviewed by the Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee for a recommendation prior to consideration of the Conditional Use Site Plan by Planning Commission. The following table provides information from the submitted Plan (dated 2/8/2007) for the Active Recreation Area to be constructed: Required Provided on Plan Active Recreation Area 275 S.F. per dwelling unit or Swimming pool, concrete (Article 5 §10.16) 0.5 acre, greater thereof walking path, Shuffleboard 136 DU = 37,400 S.F.
