A complete
ANALYSIS
e
Paul Krause, owner of Pinewood Country Club, would like to add
a temporary driving range to his golf course facility. The
site consists of approximately 9 acres of land directly east of
the golf course and Waco Street. The proposed driving range
will consist of fifteen 10 foot tee stalls. Parking for the
driving range will be provided at the Pinewood Country Club.
Mr. Krause will lease the property of the driving range until
the area develops in the future. A copy of the Planning
Commission memo which explains the request in detail is
attached.
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
At the December 28, 1993, Planning Commission meeting, some of
the Commissioner's were concerned about pedestrian traffic
crossing Waco Street to get to the driving range. The Planning
Commission requested that staff research the possibility of
signage to be placed along Waco Street warning drivers of the
crosswalk. The Planning Commission also suggested that the
golf course place signage on the golf course and driving range
property warning pedestrians of vehicle traffic. Staff has
talked with Tom Zerwas, Police Chief, and Phil Hals, Street
Superintendent, about crosswalk signage along Waco Street.
Chief Zerwas researched this issue and feels there may be
potential problems with signage for a crosswalk in this
location (i.e., enforcement). Staff will continue to research
the need for crosswalk signs along Waco Street and have the
crosswalk signed, if necessary.

OVERVIEW
Paul Krause, owner of Pinewood Country Club, would like to add
a temporary driving range to his golf course facility. The
site consists of approximately 9 acres of land directly east of
the golf course and Waco Street. The proposed driving range
will consist of 36, 10 foot tee stalls. Parking for the
driving range will be provided at the Pinewood Country Club.
Mr. Krause will lease the property of the driving range until
this area develops in the future.
PARKING
4It
The parking lot at the Pinewood Country Club consists of an
unimproved surface, which has room for 51 parking stalls. Elk
River City Code requires golf courses to have 30 parking stalls
per 9 holes and one space for each 500 feet of floor area of
the clubhouse. Driving ranges are required to have one parking
space per tee box plus one space per employee on the largest
work shift. Using these calculations, Mr. Krause will be
required to provide 35 parking stalls for the golf course,
which would leave 16 additional parking stalls remaining for
the driving range. Therefore, if this proposal is approved,
staff recommends the driving range be limited to 15 tee stalls
unless additional parking is provided.

e
The existing parking lot for the golf course is currently
unimproved and does not meet City code. Staff recommends Mr.
Krause bring the existing parking lot up to City standards over
the next 3 years. This would include bituminous surfacing,
striping, and meeting the required 10 foot parking lot setback
from property lines.
ZONING
The zoning of this parcel is Rlc to the south and PUD to the
north. Normally, zoning district boundaries fall on existing
lot lines however, this parcel is split by two different zoning
districts. The Rlc zoning district allows golf courses as a
conditional use. Since the driving range is considered a
temporary use, it is staff's interpretation that this use could
fall under the Rlc parameters until this area is developed.
Staff is recommending this conditional use permit be reviewed
on a 2 year basis to ensure that this land use is compatible
with the comprehensive plan and development within the area at
the time of review.
LANDSCAPING
Since the driving range is scheduled to be a temporary use, it
is staff's interpretation that the landscaping ordinance can be
waived. Landscaping will be addressed once this site is
permanently developed.
e
RECOMMENDATION
Staff is recommending approval of the conditional use permit
request by Paul Krause for a temporary golf driving range with
the following conditions:
1. THE DRIVING RANGE BE LIMITED TO 15 TEE STALLS, UNLESS
ADDITIONAL PARKING IS PROVIDED.
2. HOURS OF THE DRIVING RANGE BE CONSISTENT WITH THAT OF
THE GOLF COURSE.
3. THE EXISTING PARKING LOT OF THE GOLF COURSE BE
UPGRADED TO MEET EXISTING CODE REQUIREMENTS
(BITUMINOUS SURFACING, STRIPING, SETBACKS) WITHIN A
THREE YEAR TIME PERIOD. A PLAN SHALL BE SUBMITTED TO
THE CITY ILLUSTRATING THE THREE PHASES OF IMPROVEMENT
AND WHEN THOSE WILL BE COMPLETED.
4. THIS USE BE REVIEWED ON A TWO YEAR BASIS TO ENSURE
COMPATIBILITY WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND
SURROUNDING DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITY.
