| The proposed Billings Ranch Golf Course is located on the northern end
of town in the vicinity of Jackson Road. The land for the proposed golf course
is outside of the city limits of Ashland and outside of the Urban Growth
Boundary. The proposed golf course borders a portion of the Bear Creek Greenway
and is adjacent to the city limits. Developers of the golf course were seeking
land use approval from Jackson County. The developers withdrew their land
use application and do not have a current application filed with Jackson
County.
This issue was presented to the City Council at its meeting of February 3,
2004.
At the City Council meeting of April 7, 2004, Public Works Director Paula
Brown, presented issues related to the reuse of effluent from the sewage
treatment plant and water trading options with the proposed Billings golf
course. No additional work regarding the water trading options has taken
place since the City Council study session.
Staff will provide additional information regarding the status of the proposed
golf course at the August 17th City Council meeting. |
