Case
No:

Applicant: Oakridge Country Club
Location: 700 Oakridge Road
Request: Conditional Use Permit to construct a tennis court and remodel
existing courts.
STAFF FINDINGS AND COMMENTS: Kerrigan
1. On February 28, 1984 the applicant received a Conditional Use Permit to under-
take various improvements on the subject site. They have stated that part of
these improvements included the addition of one tennis court on the addition
of 10' to the east side of the existing courts, and the resurfacing and re-
striping of the existing courts. However, no plans were presented to the staff
for review of these improvements nor did any discussion of them take place
either at the Planning and Zoning Commission or City Council meeting (the
applicant has stated they were shown on the site plans during their presentation
to the Commission and Council). Therefore, the staff has requested the applicant
request Conditional Use Permit approval prior to undertaking these improvements.
• 2. The new tennis court would extend approximately 60 feet west of the existing
courts and be located approximately 25 feet from the property line. The zoning
ordinance requires a 10 foot sideyard. The court would be surrounded by a 12'
high chain link fence which would be located 5 feet from the north property
line.
3. 427.33(2) 4 states that a Conditional Use Permit may be granted for outdoor game
courts located in outdoor recreation areas not designated and owned as part of a
single or two family structure and not owned or operated by the City of Hopkins
and abutting or in any 'R' district provided it is fenced and screened by plant-
ings or other suitable screening material and shall not be lighted between the
hours of 11 P.M. and 6 A.M. of the following day.
4. The applicant has stated that these improvement were discussed with the neighbors
at a previous meeting concerning the overall course improvement plans. The
neighbor directly north of the proposed court has expressed concern over the
impact of the additional court on his property.
