Woodhill Country Club operates under a <br />CUP granted by the City on September 13,1968. <br />4. <br />5. <br />The text of the 1968 CUP does not expressly address (either by way of limitation or <br />authorization) the use or location of any driveway on or access to the Property. <br />Subsequent CUP approvals have been granted to Woodhill Country Club for <br />con.struction of tennis courts in 1973, construction of a maintenance facility in 1988, <br />and construction of a pumphouse in 1998. <br />6. The western driveway of the Woodhill Country Club abuts the platted right-of-way <br />of Woodhill Avenue. <br />7. <br />8. <br />9. <br />Ihc Club's main entrance is on Woodhill Road. Woodhill Road serves an existing <br />neighborhood of eleven private homes. Traffic from Woodhill Road crosses the <br />railroad tracks and enters onto County Road 1 *>. <br />Development of the Woodhill Ridge subdivision occurred in the late 1980’s and the <br />Woodhill Avenue access was not used for regular vehicular use during or since that <br />development occurred. <br />The tralTic levels on Count)' Road 15 make access to the Club difficult, particularly <br />from the west and north, due tc the need to make left turns across heavy tralfic onto <br />County Road 15 and from County Road 15 to Woodhill Road. <br />Pace 2 of 8
