Gentlemen,
Thank you for taking the time on Tuesday to discuss our golf training facility at Spring
Hill Golf Club. As we discussed, the building has been classified as Group B- Business
which has provisions for sprinkling these buildings for fire protection. We would ask
that you consider Exemption 1306.0060 in the Minnesota State Building Code for our
building for a number of reasons.
Please consider the following:
1) The building does not have access to city water and wili be supplied by a well
which constitutes a large installation costs for a small, limited use building, a
provision in Minnesota Building Code Exemption 1306.0060.
2) The building is far in excess of the 60 feet of clearance from public ways or
yards spelled out in the Minnesota Building Code Exemption 1306.0060.
3) Our typical use will be 1-2 people in each of three teaching bays which all
have 14 foot garage doars out onto the practice facility. Rarely will they all
be in use at the same time. The building will be available for use Tuesday
through Sunday and typically be closed at 7-8:00 PM with no overnight use
(Please see attached use estimate that was submitted to the City Council).
4) No flammables or hazardous material will be stored in the building. All
normal storage and activities will be out of the existing clubhouse.
5) As Fire Chief Van Eyll stated, access from County Road 6 and our entrance to
the facility is good.
Please let me know if you have any further questions,
Tim Johnson

Spring Hill Golf Club
Golf Training Center
The Golf Training Center at Spring Hill Golf Club will be used in the winter from
November through April. The primary use will be for winter practice and golf lessons
from our Golf Professional staff. This will be a facility used exclusively by our
membership with no outside events or use planned.
Our estimate is that the building would have 30-40 people using it each week in the
winter with the majority of our use being on weekends. The building will be accessed by
appointment only during the week and open for the members during the day on
weekends. We will have no food service or amenities in the building. Each member will
have access through a security system.
During the months of May through October, the building will be open to members for
instruction and bathroom use but our estimate is that it will be used by less than 40
golfers each week during the golf season. The bathroom within the building is not
accessible from the golf course, strictly our practice areas so our use will be low.
The storage room planned in the building will be used to store golf balls and instruction
equipment only. All golf operation equipment used during the golf season will be stored
in the normal clubhouse area.
