CITY COUNCII. MDXMP - July 17, 1985 NEW BUSINESS: (continued) : `, The following is an outline of the statement made by the City Attorney in response to Mrs. Gallo's letter and to questions from the Council: At the present time there is allowed in a single family residential district a non-profit recreational use with a use permit issued by the 'down. At the present time, recreational facilities allowed with a use permit include recreational or community center buildings and grounds for games and sports except for those customarily carried on for profit. There can be a problem regulating what can happen with a non-profit organization. L19 In response to a question from Mayor Dronkert, the City Attorney stated that as he read the initiative petition the Tom could no longer have control over such issues as traffic, roads, drainage, hours, lights and membership. The Town would be able to insist on evidence that the club was operated by a non-profit organization. As written the proposed initiative ordinance would allow anybody with a 15 acre site to establish a non-profit recreational facility without any control of same by the Town through the requiremnt for a conditional use permit. In addition the petition is not limited to the Adobe Creek lodge site. Mrs. Betsy Bertram, 11854 Page Mill Road, stated that she had received several mailings recently on the petition and she felt this was not only confusing but bordered on harassment. Mrs. Bertram also related her experience at Town Hall concerning permits and stated that, in her opinion, permits were processed in a very timely mariner by the Tom if the rules and regulations were properly followed. K. ADJOUIOUQM: There being no further new or old business to discuss, the City Council adjourned at 1:00 a.m. to an Adjourned Regular Meeting at 3:30 p.m, on July 24, 1985. -13- Respectfully submitted, Patricia Dual, City Clerk
