[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will add:

- people I know who signed the anti-pool petition came away from the evening supportive of the idea, because they can see that DGS came up with several solutions that keep the open spaces while providing the amenities that all currently enjoy.

- now the anti-pool crowd is trying to make the argument that the proposed pool is too small, and there should be a full size pool that can host competitions and what

Actually,  I think you missed the point.  People were saying either (1) that the pool shown on the plans was unrealistically small...didn't show the full extent of what a pool complex requires,  once the concrete deck (which is several times the area of the water ), pool house,  chemical facility,  first aid etc are included. All of that needs to be in a secured enclosure with high fencing etc.  The pool shown on the plans looked more like a 'water feature' as a result. Or (2) those who were pro pool were critical because the pool shown was smaller than DPR had originally said would be built.

At least,  that is how I heard it.  But man that one guy trying to argue that we needed an outdoor pool so his daughters could have gender equity...what was up with that.  Whackor.
