Exhibit CC 05-17-2011 Item No. 13 Written Communication CC 51/7 /1/ Linda Lagergren 3 From: Susan Sievert [spsievert©gmail.com] Sent: Saturday, May 14, 2011 3:14 PM To: City Council; City Clerk; David Knapp Subject: Written Communication, Item 13 Attachments: Item_13. pdf Attached: Written Communication, Item 13 1 May 17, 2011, Item 13: Report on the Golf Course Irrigation Upgrade - Stevens Creek Corridor Park, Phase II Trail & 8th Hole Conflict Mitigation Alternatives Receive Report Dear City Council, It's exciting to read about free water, and the wells working again! I love "Alternative C -2," but I have one minor modification for you to consider. Blackberry Farm Golf suffers from being pretty boring. By connecting the ponds, we could have the added fun and challenge of hitting over water (see below). To cross, you could use the bridge located between #5 and 7 that is no longer needed. fro c * : ■ `� ■ o ` 2 --, 941 tee 4 Pond -.' , t . . ation . #5 - No change , ' #5 tee New irrigation: We need to talk with staff ijefore the new irrigation is designed because presently the wind carries the water onto our hill, and we pay to have the weeds removed 2 -3 times a year. Maybe the sprinklers around the fences could be less powerful than the sprinklers out in the middle of the fairways? I don't know... Also, I'd like you to consider removing thirsty grass wherever possible in favor of clusters of drought resistant plants. For example, elevated tee boxes (holes #2 and 3) don't really need grass around the base. Think Palm Desert courses. Mixing up the features will spruce the place up a bit, and make it a more desirable place to play, aka revenue. Thank you, Susan Sievert
