Council Minutes of 7/18/2000 street is not expecting a double yellow roadway to have cars parked in the middle of it. He intends to notify the residents by mail of the change and to suggest to them what the current status of the parking is. He would be happy to include the date and time of the meeting in that communication. Mr. O'Grady noted that the traffic engineer had recommended no change to the current parking situation on that street. Mr. Limpert, chairperson of the Recreation, Public Parks and Buildings Committee: 1) On the July 11, the Recreation Committee met to discuss the issue of golf carts at Springvale which has now been formalized into Ordinance 2000-101. Present were committee members Limpert, O'Grady and Miller; Councilmen Nashar, Gareau and Kasler;. Safety Director Jenkins, Service Director Bohlmann and Finance Director Copfer. The lease agreement with the golf cart provider will be changed. Currently, we have a 50/50 arrangement where half of the revenue goes to the owner of the carts and the golf course receives the other half. More and more golf course are moving to a system whereby the golf course just strictly rents at a flat fee. On average, we will receive $20,000 more a year by changing to a straight lease agreement. The committee recommended unanimous approval of Ordinance 2000-101 and that it be passed under suspension of the rules. 2) The Recreation Commission met on July 17. Items discussed included the success of the July 4 picnic, the new park shelter which is being donated by Community Council and changes to the lighting for baseball diamond No. 2. It is hoped that the new shelter will be ready for Homecoming. The lighting on the baseball diamond is to be designed to cause less spillage into the adjacent neighborhoods on East and West Park drives. The commission members took a tour of some of the changes that have taken place at the Rec Center. One improvement was the new floor in the ice rink warming areas and snack bar areas. Since the ice rink is down, the committee looked at the condition of the u-bends which are in the refrigeration coils of the rink. These are going to become a problem that will need to be addressed in the next few years and Council should be well aware of that. New curtains have gone up in the tennis area and have really changed the look of that facility. Possibly new lighting for that area will be included in next year's appropriation which would help to upgrade it to a first-class facility. Mr. Nashar, chairperson of the Building, Zoning & Development Committee: 1) The BZD Committee met on July 11. Present were committee members O'Grady, Gareau and Nashar; Council members McKay, Limpert, Kasler, Miller; Service Director Bohlmann, Assistant Building Commissioner Rymarczyk, City Engineer Deichmann, Mayor Musial and Safety Director Jenkins. Agenda items were as follows: • Ordinance 2000-81. This is an ordinance creating a new and revised Section 1136.04 and 1136.05 of the Chapter 1136 of the Zoning Code entitled respectively "Permitted Buildings and Uses" and "Area and Density Requirements" so as to permit golf courses, and buildings associated with or related to the operation of golf courses, as accessory uses in Single Family Cluster District. The committee recommended that additional language be added to this ordinance and requested it be sent back to the Law Director for additional inserts in Chapter 1136.04. The ordinance will need to be reviewed by the Planning Commission and Council will hold a public hearing on it. 8
