CityCouncil | 2011-07-12 | 4 | Vice Mayor Bonta requested specifics of why the design would be better. Mr. Linn stated the course would not feel as wide open; character and quality would be added to make play an interesting experience. Councilmember Johnson inquired about the difference in play on the South Course and North Course. John Vest, KemperSports On-Site Manager, responded the South Course is down; KemperSports has been running promotions, which increased play; most tournaments want to play the North Course. In response to Councilmember Johnson's inquiry about the price of the two courses, Mr. Vest responded the price is the same. Councilmember Johnson requested the numbers of rounds for each course, to which Mr. Vest responded currently through June, the North Course rounds are 19,180; the Clark [South] Course is 18,106. In response to Councilmember Johnson's request for the same information for last fiscal year, Mr. Vest stated for the South Course there were 40,280 rounds for FY 2009-10 and 38,376 rounds for FY 2010-11; for the North Course for FY 2009-10, there were 55,175 rounds and 47,683 rounds for FY 2010-11. Councilmember deHaan inquired whether Mr. Linn's firm designs driving ranges, to which Mr. Linn responded in the affirmative. Councilmember deHaan inquired how close are driving ranges to residential; to which Mr. Linn responded ranges are unique in that fencing usually deals with distance issues; stated higher fences are built to deal with distance. Councilmember deHaan inquired how high the fence would have to be, to which Mr. Linn responded the fence at the Metropolitan is more standard, with heights up to 120 to 150 feet. Councilmember deHaan inquired about lighting for the driving range, to which Mr. Linn responded the matter, depends on the operator. In response to Councilmember deHaan's inquiry about the impacts of lights on homes, Mr. Linn stated lights could be an issue with residences so designers work to steer lights away from residences. Councilmember deHaan inquired whether there would be issues with adjacent residential, to which Mr. Linn responded the range is currently lit; for the new homes, the use would be existing and known.
