Dear Mr. Parsons:
We have the following comments on the above mentioned Staff Report. Please pass these
on to City Council.
Item 1.6.6. -The Owner would like City Council to allow partial use of the new Driving
Range prior to completion of the Subdivision without bonding for the subdivision
improvements. The reason for the request is the driving is currently existing and is
integral to the existing golf course. We simply need to move the driving range to
complete the new subdivision and it would be an improvement not required as part of the
development of a subdivision.
There appears to be a City requirement for a roadway or graveled access drive or road
over existing or new sewer lines. We will not be able to comply with this requirement
where the proposed new sewer line from the Jayker Subdivision crosses the existing golf
course. We request City Council provide relief from this City requirement. We are
willing to work with Public Works on an acceptable solution.
Because of time constraints the Owner is willing to start processing the Development
Agreement in a format approved by the City. The reason for this request is to make sure
the Driving Range has grass growing during the 2012 growing season, Please have City
Council provide direction on the processing of the Development Agreement.
In order for the project to move forward this year the Owner is requesting a suspension of
the Rules of Order and asking if City Council to complete all three reading of the
Annexation and Rezone request in one reading.
Please call if you have questions.
Sincerely,
Larson Archit is
