Mike Gorra, Golf Course Proposal
Mr. Mike Gorra resides at 1680 Arboretum Boulevard west of Lake Ann Park.
Mike has been a neighbor at the park ibr over twenty years. The City and Mr.
Gorra share a common norlh/south property line starting at Lake Ann, then
traversing south towards Highway 5 for approximately 1,100 feet. Mike is one of
three properly owners on l,ake Ann with the others being Prince R. Nelson, and
the City of Chanhassen.
Over the years, and more recently, due to the frontage road project, Mr. Gorra has
contemplated the future of his property. One of his ideas or proposals is to
construct a golf course. The property is a little "tight" for a full course. For this
reason, Mike would like to explore the possibility of incorporating a portion of
Lake Ann Park xvith his golf course plan. Obviously, this type of arrangement
would require the City receive offsetting benefits. In the event that the
Commission supports exploring this proposal, a variety of possible "trade-offs"
would be explored.
Mr. Gorra will be attending next Tuesday's meeting. He will be bringing with
him a golf course concept plan he has had for a number of years. This plan will
identify the wooded area of Lake Ann Park that he is interested in.
