Consideration of Site Plan Review for Addition to Club House, Chomonix Golf Course, 646 Sandpiper Drive, Mary Kay Wyland - Ms. Wyland stated that Anoka County is requesting a site plan review to allow the construction of a 40 foot by 45 foot banquet room addition to the west side of the existing Chomonix Golf Course club house and a 15 foot by 38 foot office/mechanical room on the east side of the club house. The existing building is approximately 45 feet by 75 feet. The banquet room will be designed to accommodate post - tournament events during playing season and ski related events and community uses during the off-season. No cooking facilities are planned at this time, however, serving space for foods that are pre -prepared will be provided. There was some discussion concerning the provision of a full restaurant but County staff determined that was not possible at this time. The banquet facility will not be rented to the public during the golf season. This facility will only be available during the winter months. The property is Zoned Public/Semi-Public (PSP) and a golf course is listed as a permitted use. According to the City's Zoning Ordinance "...all site and building plans for multiple family, commercial, industrial or public/semi-public uses shall require review by the Planning and Zoning Board and approval by the City Council". Staff has determined that the site plan review meets the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. The proposed addition will be aesthetically compatible with the existing buildings on the golf course. The proposed expansion will match the existing architectural design of the present club house. No additional parking space will be required nor will the existing parking area be disturbed with the planned expansion. Parking space requirements including handicapped parking already meet the Zoning Ordinance. The City Engineer has reviewed the development proposal and has indicated no objections to the request. The County has indicated that existing plantings will be moved and replaced following construction. Staff has requested that a landscape plan be prepared. It will be reviewed and approved by the City Forester. Ms. Wyland stated there are numerous different locations for a septic system repair or relocation. The applicant has indicated lighting will be minimal and similar to lighting used in the past. The lighting plan will be subject to approval by staff. The Planning and Zoning Board recommended approval with six (6) votes for approval and one abstained. Council Member Neal moved to approve the Chomonix Golf Course, 646 Sandpiper Drive, Site Plan Review, based on the following conditions: 8
