The existing site is currently being served by an existing well and septic system. WCC is proposing to extend water from the north side of the club house to the new building. This water service may also be extended to the east to serve the existing oasis structure. The proposed new maintenance building will also have a grinder station to pump the sanitary sewer out to the existing gravity sewer in Old Long Lake Road. The utilities being proposed will primarily be directionally bored to limit the amount of disturbance and disruption to the course. WCC has a summer staff of approximately 38 working from this facility. We are proposing 47 new parking stalls to accommodate the staff. The parking stalls for employees will primarily be on the north side of the trail with overflow parking on the south side. The remaining stalls will be available for visitors. 3. Neighborhood Involvement We originally planned as a 15,000 square foot, 2-story building, but with the neighbors' input the project was redesigned to build a 9,111 square foot, single-story structure with a height of 18 feet on the east side and 14 feet on the west side. The west wall also serves as a retaining wall to minimize height of the exposed building to around 7 feet. The access doors are located on the north and east walls to minimize the noise as the staff prepares the golf course for play each day. Summary Wayzata Country Club has worked closely with the neighbors and has incorporated their feedback in the building location, design and layout. The practical difficulties of placing this building on the site require a side yard setback variance for the south site and will require a setback variance from the DNR Luce Line trail.
