Wayzata Country Club <br />Event lawn structure Project Narrative <br />City of Orono CUP Amendment <br /> <br />Respected members of the City of Orono Planning Commission: <br /> <br /> <br />In June of 2025 Wayzata Country Club hired Keep The Faith Contracting Inc. to design and build <br />a structure on the Club’s event lawn. This will be a multi-purpose facility that will serve our Club <br />members in a variety of ways, most notably: <br /> <br />● The Club hosts many outdoor events for our members and this structure will provide <br />restrooms, outdoor seating, a bar for beverage service, and limited food offerings. It will <br />not be possible to provide food and beverage service from the main Clubhouse to our <br />event lawn so the proposed structure will be a key amenity to serve our members. <br />● Part of our golf course renovation project was the construction of a large putting course <br />that is adjacent to our event lawn. The proposed structure will provide a facility to serve <br />our members while they enjoy the putting course and restrooms to use instead of <br />having to walk all the way back to the Clubhouse. <br />● This facility will also act as a “halfway house” for our golfers as it will be in close <br />proximity to the 9th green and this will allow members to get food and beverages and <br />use the restrooms before heading to the back nine. <br /> <br /> <br />We understand that Club use is located within the RR-1B, 2-acre One-Family Residential District <br />and is permitted through a Conditional Use Permit (CUP). Improvements and changes to the <br />site and use must be addressed through the CUP process. The CUP requires an amendment to <br />permit and approve this project. Please consider the attached information and contact us with <br />any questions. <br /> <br />We have enjoyed a wonderful relationship with the City of Orono and our neighbors around the <br />golf course and are confident that this structure will not only be a great new amenity for our <br />members but also something that is in keeping with the high standards of both WCC and the <br />City of Orono. <br /> <br />Thank you very much. <br /> <br /> <br />Sam Lemke Chris Gerardi <br />Founder & President GM/COO <br />Keeping The Faith Contracting Wayzata Country Club <br />208
