ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES FOR APRIL 19,1999 (#2482 Spring Hilt Golf Club, continued) overnight guests of the golf club, Stoddard remarked that the City would not be in a position to regulate the use of the structure unless complaints are received. Schroeder stated the use of the structure is governed under Section 10.20, Subd. 3(G), which allows for domestic employees or their non-paying guests. Schroeder noted that this was a small structure and would not be able to house many occupants. Lindquist commented he does not have a problem with this application. Smith inquired whether the Planning Commission wanted to establish this structure as a guest house in the event that the golf course experiences more growth over the years. Johnson stated the Golf Club has provisions in its by-laws regulating the growth of the club, and that they are interested in providing some lodging for a caretaker. Smith stated she would like this issue to be revisited If the use of the caretaker house should change in the future. Gaffron stated the conditional use permit does give the City control over the use of the structure and requires the Applicant to come back if the use of the structure changes. Hawn commented from the audience that this house will not accommodate many guests. Stoddard stated in his view the standard language would be sufficient in this situation and that further restrictions are not necessary. Schroeder moved, Stoddard seconded, to recommend approval of Application #2482, Spring Hill Golf Club, 725 Sixth Avenue North, allowing a Guest House Conditional Use Permit as defined in Section 10.20, Subdivision 3(G), and further subject to the other conditions outlined in the April 14,1999 Planner's Report. VOTE: Ayes 4, Nays 1, Smith Opposed. Smith stated she was opposed to this application because she would like to see the provision included which would require the Planning Commission to review the conditional use permit before the use of the structure is changed.
