CITY COUNCIL MEETING, APRIL 6, 1982 -3- 5. CIMARRON GOLF COURSE,CUP - Continued Audience Comments:. ( --Bruce Wagner - 106 Cimarron - has lived in Cimarron seven years; has had $400 out-of-pocket expenses for broken windows and has no satisfaction from Cimarron management. The proposed netting design will not be adequate. --Stephen Palfe - 134 Cimarron - noted two names on the Olson. petition were out of state at the time the petition went around; and two names were signed before the residents were asked to sign. These residents declined to sign the petition and the names were deleted, This type of action is wrong. Laverne Maehren - 132 Cimarron - lives across from the golf course - likes to sleep later on weekends, but is disturbed by mowing noise at 5 a.m. - balls come into the yard - has had broken window, but, has never turned in a complaint - car has been hit while driving in the park. --Betty Bell - 94 Cimarron - has samecomplaint about noise during the early hours. Why does the grass need cutting each day? --Charles Clausen - 63 Cimarron - main concern is the liability for damage from the golf course - feels there will be continued damage even with the mesh netting - would like the Council to address the damage and see that Mr. Taylor is responsible for it. Does not feel the Olson petition is valid. Has found golf balls in his yard even though he lives a considerable distance from the course. Grass is cut on the ballfield at 5:30 a.m. --Steven Taylor - over the 10 years that the course has been in operation there has been one noise complaint - this was from Stephen Palfe, 134 Cimarron. Questioned Mr. Clausen's claim that he has golf balls from the course in his yard - this would be a distance of 400 yards on a 3-hole course. The petition that was submitted was drafted by Birger Olson, expressing his views and the views of residents around the golf course who had an opinion on the matter. --Mayor Eder - commented on the joint meeting with Cimarron and recommended that the CUP be renewed this year provided: ,.1. All mowing be started at the fartherest perimeter of the course. 2. Tee 8 be realigned. 3. A plan be submitted showing the location of the protective barriers. 4. An accurate record of all claims and their disposition be kept with a copy of same sent to the City. 5. Mowing of the interior play area be done late in the morning. --Whittaker - explained the noise ordinance and how the City handles checking these levels. --Mottaz - if Cimarron or anyone wants to cut their grass before 7:30 a.m they should prove to the City that they do not exceed the noise level regulation. --Fraser - language on noise should be changed to require compliance with the present ordinance; but language on damage responsibility is appropriate and should remain as written. Believes Cimarron management has the burden of responsibility.
