motion:
At its public hearing on July 19, 2001 the Planning Board Denied the request with the following
On a motion by M. Cowles, seconded by T. Krueger, the Planning Board denied Use and Site Review
#LUR2001-00039 (4-2; B. Pommer and T. Nielsen opposed the motion, and A. Gunter was absent) as
outlined in the staff memorandum dated July 19, 2001 (preparation date July 6, 2001) with the following
findings:
Based on the evidence presented to the Planning Board at the July 19, 2001 meeting, the
Planning Board finds that given the location of the platform tennis courts in relation to the
surrounding residential use, the applicant failed to demonstrate that the negative impacts upon the
adjacent residential neighborhood would be minimized.
2. Given the location in relation to the residential uses the applicant failed to demonstrate that the
platform tennis courts were reasonably compatible with the existing character of the surrounding
neighborood.
M. Cowles supported the motion because the proposed location of the platform tennis would not minimize
the negative impacts to the adjacent residential neighborhood because of the noise and would not be
reasonably compatible with the existing character of the surrounding area, and that the incursion into the
Olmstead pocket park should continue to be used for the enjoyment of the people. M. Ruzzin supported
the motion because he thought that programs had been added on the site and the circumstances had
changed with different impacts for the neighbors that surround the site. He also said that should there be a

need to expand the platform tennis, there would not be additional space at the North Boulder Recreation
Center to accommodate the expansion. B. Pommer did not support the motion because she agreed with
the staff in its recommendation that the proposal satisfies the use and site review criteria. T. Nielsen did
not support the motion because she said that the existence of the tennis courts creates a much larger
impact than the platform tennis courts do and that the platform tennis courts are a potential asset to the
neighborhood. She said that if people live in a neighborhood that has a recreation center, there is a certain
amount of impact that is accepted.
