The applicants' property is located along the fairway of one of <br /> the holes at the Pinewood Golf Course. The applicants are requesting the net to <br /> prevent golf balls from being hit into their yard, causing damage to their house <br /> and presenting a safety hazard.The applicants have requested the owner of the <br /> golf course to put up net and he was not receptive to the idea. Staff <br /> recommends approval based on the findings in the staff report and with the <br /> condition the net be removed during winter months. <br /> Chair Anderson opened the public hearing.

Scott indicated if golf course had been laid out differently, <br /> there would not be a need for the net. <br /> Commissioner Mesich indicated he could not support Finding No.4. regarding <br /> special conditions, since the applicant knew he was purchasing a home on a <br /> golf course. Commissioner Thompson questioned whether or not the city can <br /> anticipate similar requests from property owners on this golf course. <br />
