Jackson stated the gate is <br />locked with a padlock, which prevents someone from opening the gate once it is closed. <br />♦ <br />The manager of Woodhill Country Club indicated since they have been monitoring the gate, not one <br />car has left through the gate after 8:00 p.m. <br />Storch acknowledged that the Club has gotten better with locking the gate but only after a number of <br />complaints. <br />HawTi stated she would like to have the parties work together in order to resolve this issue, noting <br />in her opinion this is a reasonable and appropriate application. Hawn stated the City docs have an <br />obligation to Mrs. Storch to tr>' to resolve this issue in some way. <br />Smith commented in her opinion this application dees create the presumption that the road may be <br />used a little more than current!), but if a current problem exists with the road, then action on this <br />application may suggest that the City is not taking an\ steps to resolve the issues relating to the road <br />but may be adding to them. Smith stated that a solution may be as simple as requiring a few extra <br />performance standards before action by the City Council. Smith remarked that perhaps the Applicant <br />could suggest some additional steps that could be taken in order to insure proper closure of the gate. <br />Nygard commented he understands the concerns of the neighborhood, but that this application is not <br />directly related to the problems surrounding the use of the road. Nyi; fd stated if traffic is going <br />down this road the wrong way, the simplicst solution would be to install stop gates on the road where <br />they puncture someone’s tire if thc\’ arc going the wrong way down the road. <br />Nygard stated he would feel more comfortable voting on this issue if some conditions w ere added <br />regarding use of the road. Nygard suggested that a punch card system be utilized which would show <br />the exact time the gate is closed every night. <br />Hawn stated the Planning Commission needs to give some direction to Woodhill Countiy Club on <br />PACE 17 <br />ti.L- <br />j/Mk 7f» .
