This access road has been <br />the most difficult issue for staff and the Park and Recreation Commission. <br />Various locations and width of the road were proposed prior to the <br />compromise location now shown on the site plan. The compromise location <br />has a perpendicular connection to the park drive so as to appear as a <br />secondary road and not part of the park road. Also, the access drive is located <br />in the lowest possible elevations between existing hills and crosses the <br />driving range. For safety reasons, the golf course will extend a net across the <br />range to minimize conflict between vehicles and balls. For security reasons, <br />the access road will be gated and locked when the golf course is closed and a <br />sign posted stating, "golf course employees only." <br /> <br />Grading and Drainage <br /> <br />To accommodate the building, yard and drive, significant grading will occur. <br />The grade will be lowered (cut) roughly 9 feet on the west end of the <br />maintenance yard and raised (fill) roughly 5 feet on the east end of the <br />maintenance yard. <br /> <br />The access drive will necessitate some filling near the park drive and some <br />cut over the driving range. <br /> <br />. Golf Ball Netting <br /> <br />As part of the compromise, the Country Club will install ball netting between <br />the driving range and the park. The netting will significantly reduce the <br />number of balls on park property and will provide greater safety and lessen <br />the potential damage to property. <br /> <br />Greens and Tees <br /> <br />As part of the Country Club Master Plan, the golf course proposes to expand <br />the driving range tee to the north and add a practice chipping green and tees <br />The proposed driving range tee will direct golf balls away from the park and <br />will accommodate a greater number of golfers. The practice chipping tees <br />will be located near Elk Lake Road on park property proposed to be <br />exchanged. <br /> <br />Park Issues <br /> <br />As part of the Park and Recreation Commission's Park of the Month process, <br />a concept plan for Woodland Trails Park was prepared which identifies a <br />future picnic shelter on the hilltop just east of the parking lot and adjacent <br />. the golf course. The Country Club's proposed maintenance building will be <br /> <br />f:\shrdoc\planning\stevewen\ccmmo\cu99-23.doc <br />
