Mr. Scott's introduction had not been recorded. Mr. Kirkpatrick stated that Mr. Scott would need
to give his introduction again, since it had not been recorded.
Mr. Scott replied that if the Council would say they had read the materials, then he would be
willing to stand with the written record that was submitted. He indicated that he had not
introduced anything new that was not already in the written application.
Bill Nichols, City Attorney clarified that if the applicant chose to stand on the written record it
was the applicant's choice. Mr. Nichols continued, stating that the applicant has the burden of
persuasion with regard to the application and it certainly was a complete supplemental that
covered all the things that Mr. Scott covered.

Mayor Bailey asked for clarification of Owen Road, was it an actual recorded easement, a private
road, a public street, or a driveway. Mr. Scott responded stating that it was not a private road or a
public road. Mr. Scott indicated that Owen Road was an easement. There was further
clarification that the easement was recorded and owned by the applicant.
Council Member Witte asked for clarification regarding the dock and how many boats would be
allowed to be at the dock. Mr. Scott stated that the original application stated that it would allow
for eight boats; however after some discussion and meeting with the Planning and Zoning
Commission it was reduced to five boats. Council Member Witte asked if there would be a full
time parking attendant. Mr. Scott clarified that there would only be a parking attendant for
events.
Dave Peugh, Planner with Epikos, and Wayne Ruemmele, Architect with Epikos introduced
themselves to Council. Mr. Peugh and Mr. Ruemmele went through the plans for the project that
were presented to Council.
There was a brief discussion as to how many events would be allowed and it was clarified that
two events per month property wide would be allowed. Dan Scott clarified further stating that
their club rules and regulations were subject to amendment. Council Member Witte asked who
amends the rules and regulations, and if the Whitetail members got to vote or was it ownership.
Mr. Scott responded that currently the way they're written it would be done by ownership.
Stephanie Bonney, Counsel for Shore Lodge, introduced herself to Council stating that most of
what she does professionally is for Cities and not for developers. She stated that the applicants
wanted to be sure they understood the process. Ms. Bonney stated that she had reviewed the
project and the zoning code and determined that this particular piece of property was both R4 and
community commercial. Ms. Bonney commented on the purpose of a CUP and whether or not a
project would be appropriate for a certain zone. Ms. Bonney opined that it was important to
recognize that the property was owned by a business and when the property was purchased, the
applicant certainly did purchase it for the use of the clubhouse. She stated that it was the
applicant's belief that the Club House was the best use for the property and due to the inherent
limitations on the property the Club House was the use that would best fit into the neighborhood.
Ms. Bonney continued stating that she wanted the Council to understand the different options the
applicant was looking at for other possible uses. She stated that a small 11-unit hotel, two to
three bedroom suites, could be supported on the commercial property. Ms. Bonney stated that a
small hotel was a permitted use and that the applicant could meet the setback requirements. Ms.
Bonney also stated that even with the small hotel it would still leave room for a couple of
additional homes to be built on the residential piece. She stated that it was not the applicant's
first choice in a project, and felt that the clubhouse would be better suited for the property and
would provide a better transition for the property. Ms. Bonney stated that she was "not trying to
to scare you into anything at all." Ms. Bonney opined that at some point the property would
develop. Ms. Bonney went on to say that with a conditional use permit, the Council would have
more control than they would with a permitted use, stating that the City could decide what
conditions to put on a conditional use permit and the conditions would be enforceable.
