It is well written and answered many of my questions. I appreciate <br /> how much time staff, the applicant, and several neighbors have put into this application. <br /> I am still opposed to the Community Center if the residents of the Valley Trail Homeowners' Association are to <br /> pay for its maintenance. I do think dues would be a burden for many in the neighborhood. There are no <br /> required dues in Valley Trails as there is nothing commonly owned. <br /> Exhibit F of the staff report shows what is scheduled for the Valley Trails park. It calls for 1 full basketball <br /> court. If this court is unfunded, I would suggest that funding this court be considered instead of the Community <br /> Center. <br /> Regarding the 1 full basketball court, it is already anticipated that the City would maintain this 1 full basketball <br /> court(since it is in an official park plan), so there would be no monetary impact on the existing neighborhood if <br /> it were installed. Currently,the basketball court in the park is only a 1/2 half court and it is sloped a bit like a <br /> driveway which makes it okay for standing still and shooting hoops, but not great for a game. <br /> Thank you again for letting me comment. <br /> Take Care, <br /> Robin Giffin <br /> ®Platt Court <br />
