Memo to Planning Commission/CU 99-23 July 13, 1999 Page 3 • Access Road The Country Club proposes to construct a 22 foot wide access road to the proposed maintenance building across park property to the park entrance drive. The road will be paved from the park road to the top of the hill to minimize gravel run-off onto the park road and the between the top of the hill and the maintenance shed will be Class V gravel. This access road has been the most difficult issue for staff and the Park and Recreation Commission. Various locations and width of the road were proposed prior to the compromise location now shown on the site plan. The compromise location has a perpendicular connection to the park drive so as to appear as a secondary road and not part of the park road. Also, the access drive is located in the lowest possible elevations between existing hills and crosses the driving range. For safety reasons, the golf course will extend a net across the range to minimize conflict between vehicles and balls. For security reasons, the access road will be gated and locked when the golf course is closed and a sign posted stating, "golf course employees only." Grading and Drainage To accommodate the building, yard and drive, significant grading will occur. The grade will be lowered (cut) roughly 9 feet on the west end of the • maintenance yard and raised (fill) roughly 5 feet on the east end of the maintenance yard. The access drive will necessitate some filling near the park drive and some cut over the driving range. Golf Ball Netting As part of the compromise, the Country Club will install ball netting between the driving range and the park. The netting will significantly reduce the number of balls on park property and will provide greater safety and lessen the potential damage to property. Greens and Tees As part of the Country Club Master Plan, the golf course proposes to expand the driving range tee to the north and add a practice chipping green and tees The proposed driving range tee will direct golf balls away from the park and will accommodate a greater number of golfers. The practice chipping tees will be located near Elk Lake Road on park property proposed to be exchanged. • \\elkriver\sys\shrdoc\planning\stevewen\pcmmo\cu99-23.doc
