9.B. 1. REQUEST TO SPEAK FROM GEOFF PEARSA UL REGARDING <br />RE -OPENING VISTA MEADOWS GOLF COURSE <br />Geoff Pearsaul updated the Board on the status of the driving range and reported <br />that it had recently been mowed. He announced that a meeting was scheduled for October 10, <br />2007, to look at the golf course, the greens, and the possibilities of how to remodel it. He briefly <br />told of its past ownership and acknowledged that it is now on the market for over $3 million. <br />When asked if the driving range was open, he replied that it was, but questioned its legality <br />because he understood that the driving range should not be opened unless the golf course was as <br />well. <br />Community Development Director Robert Keating explained the operating <br />procedures in accordance with zoning and permitted uses. He informed Mr. Pearsaul and the <br />Board that Vista Meadows could not operate the driving range independent of the golf course <br />because it is considered as an "accessory use," meaning it has to be subordinate to, or associated <br />with the golf course being open. <br />Chairman Wheeler suggested looking at this in phases and wanted to give his <br />support and encouragement to resolve the problem. <br />Commissioner O'Bryan echoed Chairman Wheeler's sentiments. <br />Vice Chair Bowden asked when the 9 -hole course would be ready and Mr. Pearsaul <br />said it would open on November 1, 2007. She requested staff give Vista Meadows support and <br />exception so they could move forward; Director Keating agreed. <br />NO ACTION REQUIRED OR TAKEN <br />9.C.
