Savetsky indicated that he and Mr. Perry could work with Mr. Costa on exploring the siting of a
potential structure within designated setbacks and other site constraints. Commissioner Paterson
requested that a membership survey be conducted to get feedback as to what amenities members feel
are needed in a new clubhouse facility. Commissioner Reinhard agreed and emphasized the importance
of a thorough evaluation of needs well into the future in the planning of new facilities. Commissioner
Bartlett voiced concern over the impact a big clubhouse with wedding functions would have on the
neighborhood and stated his preference for a more simple building in a Nantucket country-style
character. Mr. Benjamin complimented the Commission on the beauty of the course itself and spoke to
several ideas that would generate revenue, such as special events and a separate space for member
functions, or alternatively in a more modest approach, leaving out the function space and creating a
nicer home for the public and current members to enjoy for generations to come. Commissioner
Gardner emphasized the need for the Commission to decide on a business model for Miacomet Golf
and suggested that perhaps the Land Bank should b~ subsidizing golf every year to keep rates
affordable. Commissioners Bartlett and Stackpole both agreed that membership should not be extended
over 400 people. The Commission also expressed a collective desire to come out with another
statement to clarify their position on the status of the clubhouse.
ADJOURNMENT: Upon a motion made and duly seconded, it was VOTED to adjourn at 3:36 P.M.
