§ 155.117 PRIVATE NONCOMMERCIAL RECREATIONAL AREA; INSTITUTIONAL OR COMMUNITY RECREATION CENTERS.
   (A)   Any use permitted herein shall not be permitted on a lot or group of lots of record, except in those instances wherein 100% of the owners of property immediately abutting and 51% of the owners of property within 300 feet of any property line of the site herein proposed for development shall sign a petition indicating concurrence with the proposed use of said site. The petition shall be submitted to the City Council for its review.
   (B)   The proposed site for any of the uses permitted herein which would attract persons from, or are intended to serve, areas beyond the immediate neighborhood shall have at least one property line abutting a major thoroughfare of not less than 120 feet of right-of-way width, either existing or proposed, and the site shall be so planned as to provide all ingress and egress directly onto or from said major thoroughfare.
   (C)   Front, side and rear yards shall be at least 80 feet wide, and shall be landscaped in trees, shrubs and grass. All such landscaping shall be maintained in a healthy condition. There shall be no parking or structures permitted in these yards, except required entrance drives and those walls used to obscure the use from abutting residential districts.
   (D)   Off-street parking shall be provided so as to accommodate not less than one-half of the member families and/or individual members. Prior to the issuance of a building permit or zoning compliance permit, bylaws of the organization shall be provided in order to establish the membership involved for computing the off-street parking requirements.
   (E)   In those cases wherein the proposed use or organization does not have bylaws or formal membership, the Planning Commission on the basis of usage shall determine the off-street parking requirements. In all instances, off-street parking shall be subject to the provisions of § 155.077.
(Ord. 792, passed 12-3-01)
§ 155.118 GOLF COURSES.
   (A)   May be operated for profit or non-profit.
   (B)   The site shall be so planned as to provide all ingress and egress directly onto or from a major thoroughfare of not less than 120 feet of right-of-way width, either existing or proposed.
   (C)   The site plan shall be laid out to achieve a direct connection between a major thoroughfare and any proposed service roads, entrances, driveways and parking areas, which will encourage pedestrian and vehicular traffic safety.
   (D)   Development features including the principal and accessory buildings and structures shall be so located and sited so as to minimize the possibilities of any adverse affects upon adjacent property. This shall mean that all principal or accessory buildings shall be not less than 200 feet from any property line of abutting residentially zoned lands; provided that where topographic conditions are such that buildings would be screened from view, the Planning Commission may modify this requirement.
   (E)   The requirement of § 155.077 shall be met for the golf course plus individual requirements for all accessory users such as restaurants or bars.
   (F)   Whenever a swimming pool is to be provided, said pool shall be provided with a protective fence six feet in height, and entry shall be by means of a controlled gate.
(Ord. 792, passed 12-3-01)

   (B)   The site plan shall be so planned as to provide ingress and egress directly onto a major or secondary thoroughfare, except when the Planning Commission finds, upon review of the site plan, that ingress and egress directly onto an adjacent minor street will not be detrimental to the harmonious development of adjacent properties.
   (C)   No more than four dwelling units shall be attached in any construction group or contained in any single structure, except that where the roof ridge lines and building facades of any four consecutive units are staggered or offset by at least six feet. In such cases a maximum of eight units may be permitted.
   (D)   Access drives, parking areas, and maneuvering lanes shall be so located as to minimize their conflict with buildings and outdoor living areas. All parking and maneuvering lanes shall be at least 15 feet distance from any first floor dwelling unit window, doorway, or entranceway.

   (H)   All design and dimensional standards of this chapter shall be complied with.
