J U L 2 5 M9 !BOOK 77 r {, .391 <br />John Fleming, chief executive officer of River Harbor, Inc., <br />spoke from his seat in the audience and advised that Grand Harbor <br />wants it out of the plan, but at this moment, it is still in. <br />Commissioner Scurlock felt that in terms of a transient <br />nature, the hotel would have more of an impact than any other <br />element. <br />Chairman Wheeler noted that the Minutes of that meeting show <br />that the developer was talking about 2200 units including the <br />hotel or motel. <br />Commissioner Bird understood the need for interim <br />memberships, and pointed out that the annual memberships will <br />have to go through the standard application approval process. He <br />felt this would be acceptable as long as they are handled in such <br />a way that it does provide a private membership and that it is <br />not one of these shams where you walk up to the door as a <br />stranger and for $1.00 they sell you a membership card. <br />Commissioner Bird noted another limiting factor is that the Beach <br />Club dining room is being designed with a maximum seating <br />capacity of 75, which is relatively small. <br />Attorney Brandenburg felt it is fair to say that the project <br />has gone through some troubled times, but it is now under new <br />management and they want very much to be good neighbors to the <br />county. They are going to have to come back to the county in the <br />future, and he could guarantee that they are not going to do <br />anything with this membership package that would interfere with <br />their relationship with the county. <br />Mr. Fleming explained that there is a full golf/tennis <br />membership, which is about $1,500 a year; a sportsman's <br />membership, which allows golf and tennis at certain times; and a <br />social membership which is approximately $350 and you can't do <br />anything else but eat. <br />12 <br />
