CUP - Cimarron Golf Course - Stephen Taylor and Mike Ahrens were present to address the complaints on noise and liability for damage to private residences around the golf course, raised by the homeowners. Noise - Mr. -,Ahrens - it is common practice for courses to do maintenance of the course prior to 7:30 a.m. Based on the MPCA standards their equipment is within the allowable sound decibles for the type of equipment used. He outlined the procedure they use for mowing - starting at the furthest point of the course, away from the home, and working towards the homes after the hours indicated in the ordinance (7:30 a.m.). They...begin work at sunrise. They endeavor to keep the decible sound,set by the ordinance, to within the perimeter of the golf course. Have had only one complaint raised by a nearby resident. --Mottaz - loudness is not the concern; but, the nuisance effect of the noise. Suggested modifying the equipment to further muffle the sound. Mr. Ahrens said this would be looked into. ---Ahrens - Not practical to let golfers on later other alternative would be to,mow:while people are golfing.
