Agenda HEARING - Conditional Use for Cherry Lane Recreation, Inc. Temporary Club House
5
Wallace Lovan was present to request a Conditional Use Permit fora temporary
club house, dba Cherry Lane Recreaction, Inc.
Hinrichs: "Hearing is now opened for Conditional Use."
Lovan: "Since October, 1978 we have been in a home in Cherry Lane Village and
using this home as a club house. The realtor out there is no longer representing
Nu-Pacific Corp. and we have been given our notice to move from the Clubhouse.
I am here asking fora temporary club house until such time as a road is built back
approximately 1000 feet - to the north where the final club house site will be.
I would propose putting this temporary structure on Mr. (Jim) Fuller's property
which would be north, adjacent to the parking lot. It will be serviced by water,
sewer and power - even though it is on private ground."
Sharp: "How long would you anticipate before you would put in a permanent type
club house?"
Lovan: "I would assume anywhere from two to five years. The future development of
the land and the economy -
Sharp: "I am in favor of approval, but it would seem to me that one of the items we
should do is put a reasonable time limit on it - after something happens - for this
to be taken care of."
Mitchell: "bJould you object to a lid of five years?"
Lovan: "I would from this standpoint - In five years there may not be a road
driven back there where the final club house would be. The only time we could build
a permanent club house is when there would be facilities to service one. Right now
there is no power, no sewer or water within 1000 feet."
Sharp: "What I'm getting at Wally is that, would it be reasonable to say one year -
two years - beyond when the second nine is built or one year - two years - beyond
when the road is built. Would that be reasonable?"
Lovan: "When they lay the last piece of asphalt on that road - the house will be
there. The revenue just from the driving range alone would offset any house that
I would have. It would set right to the west of the driving range."
Hinrichs read a letter. presented to the Commission from the Cherry Lane Village
Homeowners Association, Inc. stating that they see the Cherry Lane Golf Course as
an asset to their development and community. The letter endorsed the conditional
use permit fora temporary club house. (Letter on file with these minutes)
(Tape on File)
Tom Eddy questioned landscaping.
Lovan: "Right at this point I have more invested out there than anyone else except
the developers. It is something that is going to have to be done with dignity -
I am working up a real fine clientele and I want to hold this clientele. I propose
a down-close to the ground, shrubs around it - there could be some type of porch
overhang which would blend in. Right now we are using a 2500 sq. ft. home - we are
using a little less than 700 sq. ft. - the rest of it is strictly wasted. This
(Temporary Club house) would give us more room - we are outgrowing the little club-
house we are using now. I would hope to be in the new facilities by the 15th of
April."

Agenda
6 Ted Hepper - Input Regarding Retirement Units
Ted Hepper presented vicinity map designating zoning and a concept plan.
Hepper stated that the lot is presently zoned for multiple units - the south 40 feet
is zoned Commercial.
Hepper: "This is not a PJursing Home - it is for the elderly people to stay, before
they go into a nursing home. They need help - they need somebody to do their
cooking, their laundry." This is just one home, one level, six bedroom, not to exceed
nine people. "We do have State Codes but when there is more than nine people it's a
different category."
Mitchell: "They are putting these in residential areas."
Hepper read from the Restrictive and Protective Covenants pertaining this lot.
Tedi Subdivision: 2. All other lots are to residential or to be used for multiple
units by combining several lots or portion of lots; not to exceed more than 2
stories in height or more than 8 multiple units per building."
It was the feeling of the Commission that this would be in a location where this
would not cause a disturbance.
There was discussion concerning the demand for such units.
Each Commission member stated that they do not have any particular problem with
this proposal.

7 Cecil Cherry and Son - Input Regarding Laundromat
Kim Cherry spoke to the Planning & Zoning Commission requesting input as to their
feeling toward placement of a laundromat in the Cherry business complex located
309 blest Cherry Lane. Cherry stated that the present zoning is limited office
with a Conditional Use, one office space~•in the middle of the building is vacant,
that they have exhausted ways to lease this. They have done considerable research
and are very serious with putting a laundromat with the intent of keeping attractive.
Eventually they do plan on completing the approved professional complex.
They had talked with the people around this area and they felt it was ideally located,
that there is adequate parking. Cherry stated this laundromat would be ~. first
class as they intend to keep their business complex a first class area.
Sharp was concerned about the 1'•retail type" traffic .and felt he would have a hard
time voting in favor of the laundromat of locating anywhere but a shopping center.
Cecil Cherry used the laundromat in ~Jampa and at a similar business complex as an
example and stated that a doctor or beauty shop has a much and sometimes more
parking spaces and traffic than the laundromat. He had not had any problems with
the laundromat during the several years it's been there.
Lee ~4itchell went on record as having no objection to the laundromat.
Bob Spencer felt they would have a harder selling professional offices with a
laundromat in there. Cherry disagreed, stating that tennants would prefer have the
office next door occupied rather than vacant - no matter what.
This would be a controlled, managed situation and to the approval of all tennants.
Hinrichs pointed out Conditional Uses are subject to review on a annual basis.
