The Thanksgiving shotgun will be 8:00 on the north and 9:00 on the south. Tournaments are up about $30,000 over last year to date. Chair Sullwold asked that future reports on rounds include a comparison to prior year rounds. Chair Sullwold reported that an AWGC member mentioned difficulty seeing the parking lot lines, causing parking blockages. Commissioner Scates stated that in the lease agreement, the City is responsible for correcting it as it is right now, and then Greenway is responsible after. John Vest stated that some repair work had been done a while ago, but that the lot needs to be repaved. Bob Wood stated that the drainage would have to be addressed before repaving. Bob Wood read a letter to the Golf Commission regarding the City's replacement of the pump at the entrance to the Golf Complex and the inadequacy of remediation efforts to hide this area. His letter is attached. Chair Sullwold stated that when Public Works made its presentation to the Golf Commission, the discussion was limited to the plants that would replace what had been removed to allow the work to proceed, and that the plans for the scope of the work itself had already been approved and were in process. There was discussion whether this was before or after the Park Street trees had been removed. 4-B Beautification Program and Junior Golf Club by Mrs. Norma Arnerich Betsy Gammell stated that two memorial benches for the women's golf club have been placed on the courses, one on Fry #7 and one on Clark #2. 4-D Golf Complex Restaurant Report, Jim's on the Course Demetri Geanekos stated that new televisions have been installed, and they are building a new tray outside to hold the condiments.

It drives another ugly stake into any chance to have a decent "front door" to the Municipal Golf Complex. I understand that a drawing was previously shown to the Golf Commission, showing how flowering ivy and some other plant material, adjacent to the new 6 ft. high fence, would shield views of the new extensive piping and utility equipment from the vehicle/pedestrian entrance to the Golf Complex. I'm concerned that the ivy will not fill in between the new fence vertical pickets (open spaces between pickets are 4" wide) of a sufficient density that will yield the desired effect of completely screening off views into the Pump Station. There are two 20 ft. wide sliding gates, one onto Island Drive and the other directly onto Clubhouse Memorial Road. In time, if ivy grows effectively on a significant portion of the stationary portion of that fence, that ivy may interfere with the passage of the gates as they slide open past the adjacent 20-ft. of stationary fencing. What then? A new solid, cement plaster coated, concrete block 8-ft. high wall, surrounding a smaller enclosed Pump Station area, with a single access gate, would have been visually preferable to what is out there now. I thought that this pump station was going to be a relatively passive use, as it has been for decades in the past. Now it has now taken over much more land than it ever occupied before and I fear that Public Works will eventually park vehicles and equipment in there on a regular basis otherwise why the need for such an elaborate drive-thru arrangement? Recently, a large area has been paved, supporting that suspicion. Have you seen it at pre-dawn or at night? They must plan on performing outdoor open-heart surgery there! There are two high intensity discharge (HID), high pressure… | GolfCommission/2012-11-13.pdf |
GolfCommission/2012-11-13.pdf,5 | GolfCommission | 2012-11-13 | 5 | Did the Planning Board ever look at this project, or did the Public Works engineers even invite the Planning Board to pre-review the designs? The City Charter lists in Article XIV, Sec. 14- 1 of the Planning Board's Powers and Duties, quote: "It shall have power to investigate and recommend plans for the future development, improvement and beautification of the City, including the location and improvement of public buildings and works (bold emphasis is mine) I appreciate that the new Waste Water Pump (Sewage Lift) Station was a necessary and crucial solution to an infrastructure problem and the dictates of the EPA. Thanks to the engineers and contractors for finally getting it done to satisfy those dual technical requirements. But sadly, the current result badly misses opportunities to pay even minimal respect to the Golf Complex entry. All in all, although it is no doubt a fine sewage pumping engineering solution, I believe that Harbor Bay Isle Associates/Ron Cowan could have coupled it with a far more sensitive and attractive Golf Complex entry design than this. Why did the Golf Commission and/or other City agencies not take the time to consider more thoroughly how this project would negatively affect the aesthetics of the entry to our Golf Complex? Would any one of them ever consider trashing the appearance of the front door of their own house like this? Yes, this is the front door of our venerable 328-acre parkland! Would any other significant California city with any pride, treat the entry to such a prized possession so shabbily? In a few weeks l'll try to submit some suggestions, visually, on how this current construction can be hidden better from visitors to our Golf Complex, without compromising reasonable requirements of the Public Works Dept. and the EPA.
