CITY COUNCIL MEETING, APRIL 6, 1982 -2- 5. CIMARRON GOLF COURSE CUP -Continued Mr, Taylor confirmed that the purpose of meeting with the Council was to consider the draft resolution for the golf course CUP. He then addressed the question of noise. --Taylor - 1,000 ft limitation means no :mowing can be done on the course - does not feel the noise problem exists, but, if it does it has been overstated - restriction is not justified and a discrimination is being imposed against Cimarron management beyond the now existing noise ordinance. --Fraser - would support modifying the limitiation to require that the established ordinance be followed. --Taylor - read the public statements,on noise, presented Jan. 19. by Don Moe and Betty Bell, then, referred the Council to Birger Olson's petition from residents adjacent to the course. Do not feel that Mrs. Bell and Mr., Moe represent the people at Cimarron nor are their views representative of the people who live at Cimarron. This has been demonstrated by the Olson petition. Request that the permit be isSu_,d.without the noise provision. --Eder - asked about changes discussed with Mr. Taylor to improve one "T" and the damage claim question. --Taylor - cannot endorse a liability contingency. Proposed the following action for handling damages and requested the Council to endorse such action on a one year trial basis: 1. Cimarron will keep accurate records of damages and the disposition of same. Records will be available for Council review at year end. All claims will be considered on an individual basis and pay justified claims. 2. Will put up signs on the "T's" of holes that can affect . residences along the holes stating "No Trespassing", that golfers are responsible for damage and if damage is caused it must be reported to the office or the homeowner. 3. Barriers will be constructed to prevent damage trees and netting 4. Tee $ will be realigned. 5. Golf carts will also carry notification of golfers responsibility. A meeting is schedule with the 16-18 homes along the course to discuss the frequency of damage and present preventative alternatives and get th6&r feelings, after which a course of action will be determined. Mr. Taylor answered questions from the audience on handling claims; ' definition of a "justified claim Cimarron's liability for damage and damage to vehicles driving: -.within the park Individuals who do not feel they have been properly handled can bring their situation to the Council's attention. AUDIENCE COMMENTS: Don Moe - 61 Cimarron - Does not live on course; but has a ball diamond behind his house that is mowed regularly - during the summer this is mowed anytime --from 5:30 a.m. on. Not awakened from the noise off the golf course; but because of the mowing of the common areas - which is anytime after the golf course is mowed. Noise is not so much muffler noise as is pulling 6r8 mowers behind a tractor - metal on metal noise cannot be muffled. Have an ordinance - hope it is followed. Would have signed the Olson petition the way it is written. Paralled the Councils position on protecting the interests of the people who live around the gun club, including the residents of Cimarron, -on noise control. Request they assume the same postion to .eradicate the noise problem from the golf course for the residents of Cimarron.
