Set Public Hearing For__ CONTINUED TO FILE NUMBER ~ZOOO-1 1~ CITY MANAGER RECOMMENDED ACTION Direct the City Attorney to prepare and authorize the Mayor and Clerk of the Council to execute an agreement with Riverview Golf Course for a neighborhood mitigation project in an amount not to exceed $30,000. DISCUSSION Over the last six months, ongoing discussions have ensued between the City, Ryland Homes, Riverview Golf Course and the Riverglen neighborhood. Through these meetings, the parties have attempted to identify the issues and define measures that would reduce the level of golf ball intrusion into the Riverglen neighborhood. As a result of this process, a mitigation plan has been approved between Ryland Homes and Riverview Golf Course, and an agreement to fund the plan is currently being finalized. The plan provides for a 300' long netting and 50' high metal poles to be placed at the most westerly portion of the 14th green creating a barrier to golf ball intrusion into the neighborhood. On the 15th fairway, the plan provides for the planting of trees and 50' netting and poles to be placed in close proximity to the "Tee" box, which will direct golf play down into the river bottom and away from the upper out-of-bounds area of the course. Ryland Homes and Riverview Golf Course have verbally agreed to share equally in the cost of mitigation measures, which is estimated at $60,000. Their funds will be deposited into a fund dispersal escrow at U.S. Escrow. CS 383
