Does a community pool count as a basic serivce? If yes, can it count as it's own category, or would it fall under "community center" or "fitness center"? (Our project already has community center and fitness center covered.)
Thanks!

Unless you could justify putting it under the "park" category, I don't think you could count it as a basic service in addition to the community center and the fitness center. (You could still list it to show the LEED Reviewer you really have a lot of items, but I would number it with something higher than 10 so it doesn't get mixed in and call attention in a sentence or two that you have more than the required number of basic services.)
Alternatively, have you looked at pursuing the v4 version of the credit? LT Surrounding Density and Diverse Uses is listed on the "approved credit substitutions" (http://www.usgbc.org/articles/use-v4-credits-your-v2009-project).
