Mr. Mann read from a letter, which was prapared at the request of the Commission to be transmitted to the City Council, '-proposing the follow-- Ingo On the westerly side For a distance of 150 yar=dsa 30 feet high, For the next 50 yards, 18 feet high Along the line parallel to the tees 6 feet high On the easterly side For a distance of 100 Ards, 30 feet h1gh For the next 75 yards, 20 feet high; For the balance, 6 feet high. In explanation; intro Manin advised that the measurements bad been pra-- pared after careful investigation and on tine ouestions of -he Possible pro jectory of driven golf balls ar:.d the bo-nda.ry lines, Fir. Mullins must pursue in building the fence, Mr. Mana referred to a drawing of the site and painted out the angla at which the fence will be built and the locatior -jr- to the Bayshore Freeway, Mr. Mann noted that as the lenE;th ppog-_ass sq this distance fro:;-, the Freeway inemasea so that aft t1le Point �: t the f arti' ast end from where the ba,"Lls are driven,, there is considerable space be- tween the fence and the Freeway., Reading further From the proposed letter to the Council, It was men- tioned that in the event .Mr. Mullins should succeszsful'..y negotiate with the City to lease two acres of city -owned property, thereby In- creasing the usable area within the driving rargee the fence heights aloe; the ea,sterl ty boundary could be decreased as follows For a distance of 100 yards,, 6 feet high; For a distance of 100 yards,, 18 Feet high; For the ba lance ,, 6 feet high, Mr. flanzl stated that according to the information he was able to gatiie , r=he first 150 yards from the driving tee is the critical. area and the fence heights were designed accordingly Commissioners discussed briefly the matter of planting along the easterly fence and agreed that this should be left to the discretion. of Mr. Mullins In reply to a question raised by Commissioner Finger concerning a time limit, on the pePmIt to run concurrently with the laasb �:rom the Burlingame Shore land Company o Mr. Mullins agreed to a 10 year limi•n tationo Chairman Martin invited comments from the audience, Mr. Ed Arnold, member of the Burlingame Recreation Commnissio ., staved. the position of the Commission as opposed to the type and height of fence which the driving range would require. Mr. Arnold. referred to a golf driving range in San Carlos and advised tiiat he had been in- formed by the building inspector of that city that the fence is 100 feet high for a distance of 150 yards. This height was reached gradually as experience proved than the original height of 30 feet was not sufflcient. An increase was made, to a point between 65 and 70 feet, and finally to 100 feet. Mr. Arnold maintained that the City of Burlingame would be confronted with a,,,.An identical situation should the proposed driving range be ap- proved. Mr. Russ Engle, member of the Burlingame Recreation. Association, stated that in his opinion the driving range was not the best use of the land, Mr_ John Mackesyy, chairman of the Burlingame Recreation Commission,, concurred in the remarks presented by Mr. Arnold and stated that the objections of the Commission were not directed to the driving range but to the fence structure. Mr. Mackesy declared that from the stand- point of safety, considering the proximity of the driving range to the Bayshore Freeway, it would not be unreasonable to presume an ultimate fence height of 100 feet. On this basis, the objections of the Recre- ation Commission were intensified. Mr. Mackesy suggested that should the City purchase the acreage of the' -2- Burlingame Shore Nand Company, and agree to a lease ar-°angeme�t wit- Mr, Mullins. to Include a portion of the land ai r-saa-v o-v.rr.ed by the It ?-Iculd appear Chat tidere nuuld then be land- etvc-a _1a.`�1i�; z-o 1-eloca e the range to provide a satisfactory facility. Chairman Martin aelknowledged the Interest evidenced by the members of the Recreation and Park Commissions and repeated his personal opinion that the use proposed by Mr. Mullins would have the effect of" pre- serving the land against the time that the Cii, ; should be in posy-tion to develop a park and. recreation area. Cl'ialrmon agre.3ed that there was cox'siderable merltt in the suggestion -Jiat Ylr,: Pla l_l ns lease a portion of the fl7_led dump area and act ised that this vjas problem to be resolved with -the. City Council:, Biro Robert Thompson, attorney representing Mr. Mullins, stated that the possibility of the City purchasing the Burlir-.game Shore Land Company acreage and, in turn,, leasing this as taell as a part of the presently owned City property to gar. Mullins had bee.--, considered and the Burlingame Shore Land Company had Indicated interest in exploring the matter further,, Chairman Martin recognized Mr. Alex Smith, representative of the Bur- ll.ngame Shore Land Company, who confirmed Mr. Thompson g s remarks auld advised that his principals further indicated a willingness to negotiate with the City on a deferred plan of purchase There was some further discussion concerning Fence heights with the majority of members agreeing on a maximum of 30 feet and any revision to be subject to Commission approval. Commissioner Stivers stated that in his opinion the interest of the Commission should be confined to a determF.h3r`_ttiCsn on the proper use: 07' the lard. The responsibility of meeting the require1uents of fenco heights rests with the applicant, wonting it cooperation with the State Highway Department and insurance carriers, and considering ot.h ;a factors which influence the use, After some further discussion, a motion. was Introduced. by Commissioner Henderson that the letter submitted by the Planning Consultant be amended to include (1) that the use permit shall be granted to Mr. Mullins for a period of ten. years; (2) that in the event increased fence heights shall become necessary,, the applicant shall be required to secure City approval..
