Adopt Resolution #21-196 Approving Property Maintenance Standards Agreement And Declaring Terms for Rum River Hills Golf Club At 16659 Saint Francis Blvd NW

City Staff received several complaints regarding a brush pile at the Subject Property, 16659 Saint Francis Blvd. NW, located on-site near residences on Germanium St. NW. Rum River Hills Golf Club has been using this area to store accumulated brush until a significant amount was ready to obtain a burn permit for. Rum River Hills is permitted by City Code to burn the brush pile with a burn permit, but the accumulation of brush cannot exceed 30 days per the City Code. Despite the brush pile being in compliance, City Staff has continued to receive complaints regarding the brush pile. Staff has worked with Rum River Hills to determine a new location and berm to screen the brush pile.

No notification is required.

According to historic aerial photos, Rum River Hills Golf Club has been using the location for the brush pile since at least 2005. Complaints have been unfounded in regard to allegations of environmental hazards buried in the soil. Staff has no evidence of refuse, or garbage buried in the brush pile after on-site inspection. Resolution #21-196 will be an agreement between the City of Ramsey and Rum River Hills Gulf Club to verify compliance at the berm location next to the residential properties. 

This case is being handled as part of staffs regular duties.

Staff recommends adoption of Resolution #21-196 approving property maintenance standards agreement and declaring terms for Rum River Hills Golf Club at 16559 Saint Francis Blvd NW.
