Property is located on the north side of Route 651 (Free State Road)
adjacent to the Southern Railway just east of Hunnington Road and
Northfields Subdivision.
Character of Area
An existing swim club is situated on the property (parcel 160A).
The other two parcels to be developed are vacant (parcels 160B
and 16oC). Several dwellings exist to the immediate west with
modest dwellings existing some 300 yards to the east, along with
1 dwelling to the immediate south. The Southern Railway track is
situated along the entire westerly edge of this property.
Staff Comment
The staff would note that a pool and limited facilities now exist
at this location. The proposed expansion will include a basket-
ball court, one additional pool, and four tennis courts, along
with related picnic area and parking facilities. Swimming and
tennis courts and related facilities are permitted in an R-2
Residential zone with a special permit. This facility existed
prior to the effective date of the ordinance, however, this is
termed expansion of a non -conforming use and needs proper approval
to do so. This facility is located in an R-2 Residential Zone.
and is adjacent to an R-1 Residential zone. A good percentage of
these residents, it is anticipated, will belong to the expanded
club. Due to the proximity of the railroad to the portion of
R-2 Residential land, it is recommended by the Staff that this
use be allowed to expand to fulfill the anticipated additional
membership.
