There being no comments from the public, Chairman Minton closed the public hearing. . Commissioner Kuester expressed concern regarding pedestrians crossing Waco - some type of warning or road markings may be appropriate. Mr. Maurer responded that the City would be responsible to stripe pavement however, Mr. Krause would be responsible for putting up signs on golf course property warning pedestrians of traffic. Also, Street Superintendent Phil Hals and Police Chief Tom Zerwas should be informed of this request and asked for their input. Commissioner Eberley questions that if landscaping requirements are waived for this use, would that set a precedent for future "temporary uses?" Steve Ach explained that his use is an accessory facility to the golf course and that the golf course, as a whole, meets the current landscaping requirements per City code.
