STAFF PRESENTATION

Ms. Miller gave an overview and presented slides showing the current platting and proposed platting.  She stated the applicant is requesting replat to make one lot for the expansion of First Serve Tennis.  She noted that there were two previous UPR’s at this location for Sport to Sport and Dance City, although the portion of the property proposed for outdoor tennis courts had been shown as open space on these UPR’s.  A new UPR was necessary to include the new recreational use.  Ms. Miller noted that the City had a previous provision that right-of-way would be dedicated for the extension of Olympic Drive to the city park to the north when the property was replatted.  Ms. Miller said the applicant has agreed to dedicate right of way and remove the unnecessary easements; there will be one easement on north side of the property.  Ms. Miller said no lighting provisions were requested.  Staff recommends approval of the final plat and UPR.
