Mr. John Downey, General Manager of Wayzata Country Club, was present for this natter, as was Mr. Ronald Lauer. Assistant Planning and Zoning Administrator Gaffron reported that he had received information verifying that Wayzata Country Club does have the right to cross the properties to the east to access North Ferndale Road. The Country Club also verified by letter that they are a party to the application. A revised conceptual site plan was also provided showing the house location. Also, a general grading plan was submitted and the Cltv Engineer, after reviewing the plan, has Indicated that an additional swale will be necessary. Gaffron reminded the Planning Commission and public that the house plan was only conceptual, not actual.

Gaffron stated that they would have to rely upon the conditions set forth in the resolution of approval and filed with the chain of title that specifically states that the City Engineer must approve the final plan.

Kelley cosunented that such a plan had not been presented to the Planning Commission.

Based on staff's observations, the City Engineer has revised his recommendation and so informed the Applicant's Engineer. Kelley said that it was very important that the Planning Commission and public have the opportunity to see what is being proposed. Planning Commissioner Cohen expressed his concern over the easement the Golf Course has to access North Ferndale Road. Gaffron said that there is a 16-1/2' easement on either side of the Country Club's north property line that is granted to the
