Narrative Midland Hills Country Club is a golf club, located at 2001 Fulham Street, Roseville, MN in the county of Ramsey, on a 161 acre parcel of land. The main clubhouse consists of 26,235 square feet of which the upper floor was remodeled in the spring of 1988. At the present time there is a small maintenance building (built in 1960) which consists of 4000 square feet and is located on Lake Street. It is proposed that an addition be constructed to the North East of the present building adding an additional 6000 square feet. Times have changed since 1960. Additional requirements by the EPA and OSHA have guided the Greens Conmittee in their proposal in upgrading the work environment for employees by the addition of a new work area in the form of a maintenance building. The land and buildings are being used for recreational and social purposes. With over 20,000 trees and shrubs and 161 acres of maintained open space the environment is extremely pleasing to neighbors and visitors to the area. The Roseville High School golf team along with the University of Minnesota golf team have access to the golf course without any charge. Midland Hills is the property owner of all properties surrounding the section of Ryan Ave. which it is requesting to be vacated and desires to upgrade ~ts maintenance facility both for the safety and comfort of its employees. Midland Hills is a golf club which was formed in 1903 and incorporated in 1917. The basic nature of the business is fostering the game of golf and providing a social atmosphere for its members and gathering place for many of the civic and fraternal organizations of the area. During the peak season there are approximately 175 employees at Midland Hills generating a large payroll of which most would be spent in the Roseville area as this is where the employees, including caddies are drawn from. No additional parking place need to be added as the purpose of the proposed building is to house equipment and vehicles eliminating much of the outdoor storage. With the new addition, the drainage around both the old and new buildings will be dramatically improved. In recent years vandalism has increased substantially. It is felt that containment of equipment will promote vandalism reduction. There are no roof top or mechanical units that will be exposed. The building will be set back into a hillside and landscaped making it pleasant to view. In so many ways the maintenance building addition as proposed will add much more to the overall looks of the area along with increasing the protection of the environment.
