David Rubin, 1039 Chartres Ave. <br />Mr. Rubin felt that the proposed driving range was put together too hastily therefore, it <br />was not well thought out. He questioned the decisions based on who the experts were. <br />William Field, 7152 Kingsbury <br />Mr. Field said the proposed driving range was a bad risk, a bad location, a bad design <br />and the City can not afford it. He felt that Ms. MacCartney did not address the points of <br />elevation and protection adequately. <br />Mr. Acme Price, 8236 Balson <br />Mr. Price said he had previously been on boards that studied possible driving range <br />locations and felt that approval of this proposal would be a great financial mistake. He <br />wanted to know how the cost-overrun would be managed. <br />Dr. Ethan Schuman, 8258 Groby <br />Dr. Schuman felt that the driving range was too big of a financial risk to be considered. <br />Kay Drey, 515 West Point Ave <br />Ms. Drey felt the proposed driving range would destroy the natural habitat and beauty of <br />Ruth Park. <br />Jane Bruss, 2916 Hilldale Ave, <br />Ms. Bruss was a resident of Brentwood, MO. She submitted photographs that she took <br />of the golf course and interviewed a few golfers on the course this day. They all talked <br />of the beauty they enjoyed at the golf course. She ended with saying “Measure and <br />survey twice before you cut.” <br />Elsie Glickert, 6712 Etzel <br />Ms. Glickert was astounded that this item was on the consent agenda. She felt the golf <br />course was never publicized in order to increase its revenue. Ms. Glickert thought the <br />$30,000 given by Clayton was not near the value Clayton would derive from it. Ms. <br />Glickert suggested giving all new residents in Parkview Gardens a free golf pass as an <br />introduction of the facility for future use. <br />Tom Engelhardt, 7830 Lafon Pl <br />Mr. Engelhardt said he was not a golfer but was present to defend the natural beauty <br />and trees of Ruth Park and did not want to see this changed or destroyed. He also <br />questioned the financing of the project. <br />Dolly Dalgleish Carigo, 553 Mapleview Dr <br />Ms. Darigo did not want to see the loss of the natural beauty and habitat present in the <br />area planned for the driving range. <br />Herschel Raskas, 722 Brittany Lane <br />Mr. Raskas felt there were other avenues to increase revenue than to put in a driving <br />range at Ruth Park. <br /> <br />
