r <br />REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br />COUNCIL MEETINO <br />AUG 2 4 1998 <br />Date: August 19,1998 <br />Item No.: / 3 <br />Agenda Section: <br />Zoning Administrator’s ReportDepartment Approval: Administrator Approval: <br />Name: Michael P. Gaffron <br />Title: Senior Planning Coordinator <br />Kcm Description; Spring Hill - Request for Holding Tank; Rest Area Buildii.i RelocaUon <br />List of Exhibits <br />A- Letter from Tim Johnson <br />B - Site Plan <br />C - Septic layout <br />D - Construction Status Update from Tim Johnson <br />Resolution No. 3902 approving a CUP for Spring Hill Golf Club included the placement of a <br />concession stand / rest station "near the tunnel" (page 8 of 17). The approved site plan located it on <br />the north side of County Road 6, but subsequent discussions and septic testing resulted in a proposed <br />revised location on the south side of the road, where it would be near the available drainfield sites <br />and potentially screened from the roadway by existing trees. Staffs primary concern with this rest <br />station has been to have it located where it will not become a 'roadside attraction for non-golfers <br />who happen by. <br />Now that the tunnel is completed and fairways and cart paths established, it is more obvious that a <br />rest station constructed on the site south of the road will be very visible to traffic. Construction o <br />a drainfield system at the tested sites will result in more trees being removed. This site also has some <br />inherent problems for septic system maintenance, since tank pumpouts would require the pump truck <br />to park alongside County Road 6. <br />A better option which is supported by staff has been proposed by Spring Hill. This would place the <br />rest area building approximately 180' north of the right-of-way, northwest of the tunnel, and adjacent <br />to an interior cart path/service drive that could handle pump trucks accessing through t e <br />maintenance driveway from Tamarack Drive. This would eliminate any conflicts with pump ^cks <br />parked on County Road 6; would result in a location that is much less visible from the County oa , <br />and will not result in the loss of more trees on the south side of the road. The new location is where <br />staff originally envisioned the rest station. This site more than meets the 50 ’ property line setback <br />required by the Zoning Code for structures on a golf course. <br />Spring Hill is also requesting that this building be ser\ed by a holding tank system rather th^ a <br />septic system. The primary rationale is that it is intended to serve a seasonal use with relative y
