MINUTES OF A REGULAR MEETING OF THE TEMECULA COMMUNITY SERVICES DISTRICT HELD MAY 27, 1997 ROLL CALL: PRESENT: ABSENT: Director Lindemans questioned exempting the portion of the property located in the flood plain. $hawn Nelson, Director of Community Services, replied 22 acres in the flood plain was determined not to be part of the developed golf course and was therefore exempt and is consistent with previous exemptions. Paul Reed, 325 Mesa Way, San Diego, representing the applicant, stated the TCSD formula does not have a golf course classification. He stated a golf course does not have the number of customers of a commercial one (1) acre property; and a golf course utilizes a large number of acres similar to agriculture, but with low intensity usage. He asked the Board to leave the fee at .5 EDU's per acre for the 1996/97 Fiscal Year, and to find the golf course usage similar to a park or open space which cannot be developed. Director Lindemans stated the golf course is an asset to the community and wants to leave the fee at .5 EDU's. Director Birdsall stated a golf course is a commercial entity and income is generated from people using it. Director Roberts mentioned the proposed rate is consistent with the rate charged Temeku Golf Course and sees no relationship between a park which does not charge a user fee and a golf course which does charge a fee. Director Ford stated the golf course offers open space and buffering and cannot be developed as other commercial property. Director Stone stated a golf course is a commercial venture and feels 2 EDU's are appropriate for this usage. It was moved by Director Birdsall, seconded by Director Roberts, to approve staff recommendation. 3.1 Adopt a resolution entitled: RESOLUTION NO.
