Storch stated part of the problem is the fact that Woodhill Countr>‘ Club has made promises to the neighbors in the past which have then been thrown out. Storch indicated the neighbors were initially told this road would only be temporary. Storch stated in her view there is no guarantee that Woodhill Country Club will live up to their promises and that their quality of life is *1 gradually being diminished. Hawn moved, Nygard seconded, to recommend approval of Application #2589, Woodhill Country Club, 200 Woodhill Road, granting of a Conditional Use Permit to Permit the Expansion of the Barn to Accommodate a Kitchen, Storage Area, Bathrooms and Coat Room, contingent upon the installation of a punch card system o.. the gate to document the time that gate is being closed at the appropriate times. Jackson expressed concerns that this system may not work 100 percent of the time due to the weather. Hawn stated a box of some type could be constructed around it to protect it from the elements. Storch stated this solution is better than nothing and would provide a document show ing when the gate is being closed.
