<br />Member Egli asked for details on grading and retention ponds. The flat area of roof and driveways will have runoff and will
<br />need to be managed either by sheet drainage and/or drainage to the course itself.
<br />
<br />Public Questions:
<br />
<br />Marjorie Sucoff, Midland Hills Road, asked for details of the square footage; currently there are 29,000 s.f., the proposal is
<br />37,000 s.t..
<br />
<br />Ward Shendell asked for details regarding patios along the north and east side of the new building.
<br />
<br />Ed Sukoff asked for details of the need for a swimming pool/cabana and parking lot. An addition to the building of less
<br />than 10% would not require an amendment. He recommended that future improvements be discussed at this meeting.
<br />
<br />Joe Olson asked for details of the size and location of the building and future improvements. Mr. Olson asked for details of
<br />the difference in building footprints; 17,000 s.f. versus 32,000 s.f.. There was general discussion regarding the site. Can
<br />the city attach conditions? (yes).
<br />
<br />Ray Harrington, 1990 Midland Hills, stated when the Club House was built in 1963 there was a concern about the impact
<br />of chlorine in the pool on asthma conditions of nearby residents. Could the building design be reversed to put the pool on
<br />the west?
<br />
<br />Cathy Coughan, 1961 Midland Hills, expressed concern about future improvements. She described the neighborhood
<br />meeting held on January 9, 2000. The neighbors prepared a letter, dated January 12, 2000, explaining their concerns (23
<br />residential properties), as attached to these minutes.
<br />
<br />Christine Rogers, Draper Avenue, expressed concerns about parties, noise, car alarms, placement of the pool, size of the
<br />building, banquet room for parties and weddings. She recommended reversing the building to put the pool on the west
<br />side. The loading areas are a concern. The architect described the enclosed loading area.
<br />
<br />John Rogers, Draper Avenue, expressed concern regarding the banquet area adjacent to the residential neighborhood.
<br />
<br />G.B. Morris, Draper Avenue, said the Country Club is a noise generator from the patio and parking lot. The banquet hall
<br />will be 160 feet closer to the residents. The future plans are a concern; all future amendments "must" involve the
<br />neighborhood (rather than wording "may"). The trees and berms should be constructed now.
<br />
<br />Joe Olson, Draper Avenue, expressed concern about swimming pool and noise. The building is double the banquet space
<br />and will create problems. The current patio noise goes to the north and northeast, now it will be aimed to the east. He
<br />recommended moving the building or redesigning it. He recommended sending the design back to the architect and staff.
<br />He suggested a neighborhood meeting be held.
<br />
<br />Ed Sukhoff recommended that: 1) a new ordinance prohibiting patio and open cash bar; 2) a new ordinance regarding
<br />distance and obstacles for a pool, 3) all screening must be complete at the time of planting.
<br />
<br />Ward Shendell, N. Rosewood Lane, expressed concern with the noise and the difficulty to discuss with neighbors.
<br />
<br />Mrs. Sukhoff noted that delivery was on the west side, now proposed on the southeast; she recommended denial of the
<br />proposal.
<br />
<br />K. Jane Chow, Rosewood Lane, expressed concern regarding noise and the need for more screening.
<br />
<br />There being no further public comment, Chair Klausing closed the hearing and described the issues.
<br />
<br />Member Rhody requested final landscape plans; a plan for future expansion; impacts of relocated truck dock; positioning
<br />of patio for reduced impact on resident; and, further that this matter be continued for one month.
<br />
<br />Motion: Member Rhody moved, seconded by Member Wilke, to continue the request by Midland Hills Country Club for a
<br />Conditional Use Permit to allow the construction of a 32,325 square foot clubhouse on the site of the existing 1959
<br />clubhouse, to the Planning Commission's meeting of February 9, 2000, and at that time, the applicant have available the
<br />final landscape plans, a plan for future expansion, impacts of relocating the truck dock, and, the positioning of the patio to
<br />reduce the impact on residents.
