SPORI'S CUJB, 4155 Sports Club, 4155 No. I.exin;Jton Avenue, Dennis Foster. LEXnlGION, FOSI'ER Bergly explained this matter was initially reviewed by Planning Commission in October 1990, and continusd due to several issues that were unresolved at the tiJne of sul:xnission of the application. He advised this is the fourth revision of the initial report regarding this matter and all of the issues outlined by staff have been resolved. The Planner reviewed the four actions for consideration at this time, as outlined in his report, and recanrnended for approval by the Planning Commission at their regular meeting held 12-5-90. Bergly advised Item 2.B.2. should be amended; noted that one of the tennis court buildings contains six (6) tennis courts and one contains ten (10) tennis courts. CouncilInernber Mahowald expressed concern relative to the fact that the Planning Commission members were obviously split in the decision to recommend approval of this application. Planner Bergly explained the members voting in opposition did not favor the structural elements of the permanent buildings and the concentration of development on the east portion of the site, which conflicts with the intent of the open/green space requirements in the zoning code. He stated that although the southerly access drive will have turf over the roadway surface, there will not be any plantings along that area to soften the buildings iran the adjacent site and . the entire west portion of the site must remain urrleveloped to meet the open space requirement. CouncilInernber Malone questioned if the storm water drainage system, proposed along the south property line, will effectively divert all drainage to the rear of the site. Engineer Maurer explained the system will divert all drainage from the parking lot and the rooftop of the b..1i.lcling which drains to the parking lot. He stated there will be drainage fram approximately half of the south air-supported structure which will drain overland to a small swale, westerly to the ponding area. Maurer also advised he has had discussion with Mr. Nordlurrl, the property owner to the south, relative to drainage concerns and the main issue was drainage at the east end of the site. The Engineer explained that the storm water from the east portion of the site should be effectively diverted into the catch basin, however, some drainage fram the south structure may pass over the rear/westerly portion of the adjacent site and Mr. Nordlurrl did not appear concerned about this area. There was discussion relative to an outlet for the ponding area at the rear of the site. . Dennis Foster, applicant, stated the pond is a designated wetland area and there is an outlet which drains urrler Highway I-694 into Valentine lilke. Public Works SUperintendent Winkel stated there is a weir on the north side of County Road F, which is routinely maintained.
