PLANNING ANALYSIS
Lenner is the developer of the Summerlyn single family residential development. The
private pool and building were identified on the Summerlyn 2nd Addition final plat plans.
The requirement for a conditional use permit for the pool and recreation building was listed
as a condition of the Summerlyn 2nd Addition final plat approved in spring 2014. Lennar
has constructed similar private pools and buildings in the Prairie Lakes development north
of 185th Street and west of Interstate 35 on Lake Forest Drive at Kingsway Path and in The
Greenway (Trevar) development west of Ipava Avenue on Ireton Way, north of Inndale
Drive.
Setbacks. The Zoning Ordinance requires that all private recreation buildings be set back
double that required by the zoning district but not more than 30 feet. The site plan shows
that the swimming pool will be set back 30 feet from the Icicle Avenue and Hillcrest
Avenue rights-of-way and more than the required 20 feet from adjacent residential
property boundaries. The pool deck is to be set back 12 feet from the north (rear) property
line.
Pedestrian Access. A five foot wide concrete public sidewalk shall be constructed in the
Hillcrest Avenue boulevard between the corner of Icicle Avenue and the main sidewalk
entrance to the recreation building. The proposed westerly access will include a private
sidewalk that will extend from the street to the pool house building to allow access for
maintenance equipment servicing the property facilities.
Building. The building will be 1,576 square feet in area and 14 feet tall. The building will
include the swimming pool mechanical equipment and storage area, restrooms, gathering
room with a kitchen, television and fireplace and a portico connecting the gathering room
to the main men’s and women’s restrooms. The building will be sided with
batten/boarding siding and decorative stone, with stucco on the east side and an asphalt
shingle roof.
The swimming pool will be five feet deep surrounded by a concrete deck. The facility will
be owned and maintained by the home owners association for the single family lots in the
Summerlyn development and subsequent additions thereto for use only by those
residents.
2
Landscaping. The landscaping that is proposed to provide screening of the private
recreation lot from view of the single family lots to the north and west will include
evergreen trees and shrubs in addition to shade and ornamental trees.
A six foot wrought iron style fence is proposed to surround and secure the pool area.
Section 11-21-5.G of the Zoning Ordinance requires that access to the pool be secured
with a self-closing and latching gate.
Lighting. A building mounted motion detecting security light is proposed on the north
(pool) side of the building. No other lighting is shown on the site or on the building. All
lighting must be downcast and may not shine onto adjacent properties.
RECOMMENDATION
Planning Department staff recommends approval of the Summerlyn conditional use
permit subject to the following stipulations:
1. The site plan and building shall be developed in accordance with Zoning Ordinance
requirements and as approved by the City Council.
2. A five foot wide concrete public sidewalk shall be constructed in the street
boulevard between the corner of Icicle Avenue and the easterly private sidewalk
into the recreation building.
3. All site lighting shall be in compliance with Zoning Ordinance requirements.
4. A building permit is required prior to commencing construction.
Findings of fact for attached for your consideration.
