r <br />TO; <br />FROM: <br />DATE; <br />Chair Lindquist and Orono Planning Commission Members <br />Ron Moorse, City Administrator <br />Michael P. Gaffron, Senior Planning Coordinator <br />February 12, 1998 <br />SUBJECT; #2338 Lakeview Golf Course, 405 North Arm Drive - Conditional Use Permit - <br />Public Hearing <br />Zoning District: RR-IB, Single Family Rural Residential, 2 acre, unsewered. <br />Application: Request for conditional use permit for land alteration in excess of 500 cubic yards for <br />two separate areas of the golf course. The first is expansion of tees and creation of a pond for hole <br />#18, near the northeasterly side of the golf course. Second is expansion of tees and creation of a <br />pond near the center of the course between the 4th green and 5th tee generally. Both projects are part <br />of the Lakeview Golf master plan which the City first reviewed in 1995. <br />List of Exhibits <br />A - Application <br />B - Plat Map <br />C - Property Owners List <br />D - Survey <br />E - Grading Plans for Both Projects <br />F - Overall Master Plan <br />G - Enlargement of Master Plan Sections <br />H - City Engineer ’s Comments <br />Discussion <br />In the decade prior to 1995, applicant had requested a number of conditional use permits for land <br />alterations within the golf course property. As part of the most recent request in 1995, applicant <br />provided a course improvement master plan which involved numerous individual projects. <br />Applicant has intended to accomplish these improvements over a number of years, and the currently <br />proposed improvements are the next in what we expect to be a continuing series of requests as the <br />master plan is brought nearer to completion. <br />The current proposal includes expansion of tees for the 5th and 18th holes, with concurrent <br />excavation in adjacent low lands. This adjacency results in an efficient land alteration process; <br />materials from creation of the ponds can be used to create the tee boxes, resulting in a balancing of <br />e.\cavation work on the site and little (if any) importation/exportation of fill. <br />The golf course operates as a conditional use in the RR-IB zone, and continues to be a good <br />neighbor to the surrounding area.
