Preliminary PUD and Plat July 7, 2011 th 96 and Dillon The 10.75 acre site will be developed in three phases as membership increases. The initial phase will consist of 15 courts with two 4 court bubbles for indoor play and an outdoor swimming pool. The existing 6,000 sq ft executive home on the property will be remodeled into a clubhouse facility and the primary entrance to the facilities will be where the north portion of Road B th intersects 96 Street. Phase II development will add additional outdoor tennis courts. Phase III development will mark a significant change in tennis operations. This phase includes construction of a 62,000 sq ft facility in the southeast corner of the site to house 6 indoor courts and new clubhouse facilities. This development will change the focus of operations from the initial clubhouse on the north side of the site to the new clubhouse on the south side making the th signaled intersection of Road B and 96 Street the primary entrance to the site. When fully developed, the Tennis Center will consist of 25 tennis courts (clay and hard surface), a center courts with permanent seating for exhibitions and tournaments and outdoor pool facilities. A total of 14 indoor courts will be available during the indoor season. The Tennis Center site will be fenced with controlled access through the clubhouse or by passkey. Located within the site will be a tennis academy that will be open to the general public. The academy will draw players, parents and coaches from the local area, regionally and nationally. The Tennis Center intends to market its programs nationally to include tennis programs for all ages and ability combined with other Colorado activities such as backpacking and skiing packages. Once the clubhouse facilities are move to the south side, the Tennis Center plans to remodel the old clubhouse for short term onsite housing for players, parents and coaches. Housing would be limited to those participating in Tennis Center activities. This activity would require a change in the zoning of the GDP. Planned onsite operations include tennis pro shop with retail sales, fitness center, locker rooms, spa with physical therapy services, childcare and restaurant facilities. Not all operations may be available in the initial clubhouse. The Tennis Center owns the Hewitt well which is a permitted well located at its south boundary that historically has been used to provide irrigation water for the site. The Hewitt well is a deep well that brings water from the abandoned coal mines below the area. The water has high sulfur content and is primarily suited for irrigation. The Tennis Center proposes to use this water source for site irrigation and as a geothermal source to heat and cool the proposed 62,000 sq ft indoor tennis facility and clubhouse. The layout of the site moving from the zoning approval to the preliminary plan and PUD has taken on a differing appearance, however the essential elements of transportation interconnections from parcel to parcel and perimeter access points, utility servicing, drainage and land dedication requirements remain unchanged and are carried forward in the current plan. The Tennis Center requests approval of the following variances to the standards and guidlelines to the CDDSG: 1.Building Height 35 ft approved for zones 2B & 2C (PCDZ) The Tennis Center requests variance to 40 ft for bubbles and permanent structure Page 2 of 10
