COUNCIL MEETING:
ITEM NO.: 0
November 28, 2014
We have received the notice for issuing a request for proposals for the operation
and /or maintenance of the Laguna Lake Golf Course.
Our home is adjacent to the golf course between the third and fourth greens: we
built and have lived in it since 1970. We have seen apartment and condominium
complexes built around the golf course over the years but applaud the city for
maintaining the golf course and the open space it provides for recreation and also
for wildlife. We see deer on the golf course daily and often turkeys, possums,
raccoons and other wildlife including a variety of birds.
Our concern is not how the golf course is operated and maintained but that however
this is accomplished, the land be maintained with reasonable quality as a golf course
and the patrons of the course continue to have as good or even a better experience.
When we first moved to our home in 1970 the course was commercially operated.
For a variety of reasons this was not a viable operation. Eventually the city took it
over and has operated it for decades. We urge the city to maintain ownership and
responsibility for the golf course to ensure it continues to be a quality recreational
facility and open space in this part of our city.
I assume there are no long -term or short -term plans for doing anything else with the
land other than operating it as a golf course and valuable open space. We strongly
support maintaining this property as open space and a golf course and would be
very concerned if it were re- purposed for residential or commercial uses. It was
part of the planned design when this part of our city was developed and we believe
the property should remain as intended.
Thank you for your consideration and for your service on our City Council.
Sincerely,
Phil and Ti ahey
