ISSUE/ ACTION PROPOSED
The Recreation Services Department seeks Council support for a resolution approving a
contract behveen Family Camping, Inc. and the City of Englewood for the purchase of 2.87
acres to be used in the Golf Course Expansion .
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION
Resolution . o . 107, Series of 1993, apprO\~ng the purchase of 19 .637 a cres from Motor
Crar..t S,,...rvice Company for golf course expansi on.
BACKGROUND
Expansion p ocs ib ili ti es were d iscussed wi th Council in January , 1992 . A feasibility study
was authorized and initial recommendations for expansion were approved by the Parks and
Recreation Commission in August, 1992 and by City Council in September, 1992 . After
environmental r esearch was completed and property acquisitions were examined, a final
re<:ammendation for course expansion was approved b y the Parks and Recreation
Commission and the City Council in Od ober, 1993 . Local golf clubs, service groups, and
the City of Sheridan have been supportive of expansion possibilities . The final expansion
plans include improvements to the clubhouse, indoor teaching academy , a nine hol e Par
3 addition, and improvements to existing gol f holes.
PROS AND CONS OF OPTIONS REVIEWED
If the acquisition is approved, the existing driving range will be moved to this piece of
propony. This will allow us to continue operation of the existing driving range with minor
interruptions during the construction process . Without this acquisition, we could still
provide the indoor teaching academy, the clubhouse improvements, and improvements to
the existing golf holes, but the Par 3 Co.m;e could not be built. If the Par 3 Course is not
built, we v: ould still be able to add the outdoor teaching academy.
STAFF ANALYSIS
Family Camping Inc. owns a total of 7 2 acres . The proposed property acquisi tion for golf
course expansion is 2.!S? acr,1s, locatea west of tht: proposed Natches Court realignment.
We have been working wi th the owners ,,f Family Camping, Inc. on this project for the past
U months. The Gty Manager 's Offi ce and the City Attorney's Office have provided
direction and support throughout the negotia tion process . We feel we have negotiated in
good faith and settled en a contract th at is fair and equitable to both Family Camping In c.
and to the Llty of Englewood . Cl o:;..u-e on the property will occur on or before April 30,
1994. As wi th the current front nine holes d!ld the Motor Crane acquisition, this property is
located on an existing landfill .
