[quote=Anonymous]Can someone explain the tennis court location for the pool to me?  As I understand it, the proposal is to take just one tennis court (the SW corner one, closest to the 37th and Quebec intersection) for the swimming pool.  A "DC DPR-standard" sized pool, plus the structure for toilets, changing rooms and mechanical, as well as the fenced deck and area around the pool, will fit entirely within the footprint of one tennis court.   I was over at Hearst two days ago, and I'm still having a really difficult time envisioning this.  So would the pool adjoin the fence of the remaining two tennis courts?  Or would the pool house be placed there?  It's hard to see how this all fits in a tennis court, unless the pool is really small, the pool house is really small, and the deck area is really small.  If the pool is wedged between the tennis courts and the pool house, it will feel really narrow and hemmed in.  If the pool is against the south slope and the west slope, it will feel like being at the bottom of a bathtub.  Either way, the site will be shaded basically all of the time.  Perhaps someone who has seen the schematic plan with proposed dimensions can shed some light (no pun intended) on the pool site.  Anyone?[/quote]
