GolfCommission | 2005-03-16 | 3 | showing what the Complex can afford for debt service. There has not yet been a project manager assigned to the clubhouse project. Commissioner Wood displayed the layouts of the clubhouse that he prepared. The footprint for the Complex was taken from the aerial photo and a technical drawing of the Poplar Creek buildings were placed over the photo. Commissioner Wood then explained what the different areas of the buildings represent and how they would fit at the Complex. The design is two buildings separated by a breezeway. One building houses the Pro Shop and offices, the other has the restaurant and banquet facility. The banquet facility holds 169 patrons. The room can be divided into two rooms holding 106 and 53 patrons respectively. The banquet facility has a separate entrance. The total of both buildings is 11,800 square feet. Three different schemes were presented changing the placement of the buildings. In discussions with the General Manager and staff at Poplar Creek it was discovered that some areas of the design could be better. They stated that the bar area should be separated from the dining area, more storage is needed and the banquet facility should be larger. The purpose of buying the plans for an existing building is to save money on design services. The design services cost can run up to $600,000 and the purchasing of the plans would be far less than that, but if you make considerable changes to the plans it is not practical. Any changes to the plans come at a cost. The fact that the buildings have already been constructed makes it easier to estimate the cost then a design that is just on paper. 3-C Discussion on Practice Area for the Golf Complex Driving Range. The General Manager reported that over the past few months the Golf Commissioners have gone out to the Driving Range and the Mif Albright Course to visualize the potential plans for a new practice area. Commissioner Wood drew up a design and gave it to the Golf Commission last month. The plan is to use the first and ninth greens on the Mif Albright Course and redesign that course. A new tee would be placed east of the current 1st green, trees along the slough would be removed to open up the area and the 2nd green would become the 1st green. A new tee would be placed on #5 and that hole would be cut in half, the hole is currently 191 yards and represents the greatest hazard on the course. A new green would be placed on #9 also and that hole would be shortened. The area would be lit up at night by redirecting lights at the Driving Range and a synthetic putting green placed in the area. The area would be able to be open at night, which is a feature the competitors (Metropolitan and Monarch Bay) do not offer. The Acting City Manager has instructed the Golf Complex to move ahead with the plans and build the practice area. 4.
