Title
PUBLIC HEARING - Appl. #PL2017-102 - SPECIAL USE PERMIT for swimming pool lights - 4140 NE Dick Howser Dr; Lakewood Property Owners Association, applicant.
Body
Issue/Request:
The applicant requests a special use permit for outdoor swimming pool lighting located at 4140 NE Dick Howser Dr. The property is the location of the Lakewood Property Owners Association’s East Lake community pool. The applicants have filed a final development plan (#PL2017-101) for the demolition of the current pool facility and construction of a new pool and bath house. The new pool will include a larger deck area and have a “zero entry” pool design.
To provide night time security lighting across the width and length of the deck, the applicant is requesting an SUP for 20’ tall light poles. The poles will use the same LED lamps and be the same height as the poles currently used in the existing parking lot. The proposed lighting levels will be near zero at the property line.
The applicant requests the special use permit be granted for an indefinite time period. Staff recommends 10 years as it is consistent with the time period typically granted to other special use permits for the lighting of outdoor recreational facilities.
Recommendation
Recommendation: Staff recommends APPROVAL of the special use permit, subject to the following:
1. The special use permit shall be granted for a period of 10 years.
