Golf Course Advisory Board Minutes May 19 2014 Page 2 of 5 5. Public comments: Chairman Gambon opened the floor for discussion on the proposed change to the cart path on Hole #4. The original plan (Plan A) was to move the cart path to the left side of the fairway and closer to the property line of the adjacent homes. This change, together with trimming of the trees on the right side and the realignment and small movement of the tee boxes to the left was intended to allow golfers to aim more for the center of the fairway. This change was in the original 5-year plan as adopted by Council for consideration in 2016 but was not viewed favorably by the GCAB due to cost. With the accelerated plan due to the flood damage, this change was included in the renovation but was then removed in consideration of the impact on adjoining homes. A revised plan for Hole 4 (Plan B,) moved the cart path to the left of the tee boxes with the path ending just ahead of the front tee. The remainder of the cart path was removed, with golf carts traveling down the fairway to pick up the path again approximately 150 yards short of the green. A variant this plan (Plan C) kept the path as-is but ending just ahead of the front tee similarly to Plan B. Considerable discussion took place on the various options and Staff were requested to include Option D; keeping the original cart path as-is. In summary: Plan A, maximum cost and impact on homes: no longer under consideration Plan B, moderate cost, some concern from homeowners, good playability Plan C, moderate cost, good playability Plan D, no cost, some playability impact, favored by homeowners and Mens League. The homeowners were told that the final decision was the responsibility of Staff and Staff agreed to consider Options B, C and D with a decision to be made in the next 4 weeks. Staff committed that no demolition or changes would be started prior to discussing the decision in a public meeting. Chairman Gambon advised the homeowners of their options should they disagree with the final outcome. ·· Parks and Recreation Department 749 Main Street Louisville, CO 80027 · (303) 335-4735 FAX (303) 335-4738 www.louisvilleco.gov Parks Recreation Senior Services O Golf 3
