Town and District staff will also be present as well as other stake holders including the Fairy Lake Association.<\/p>\n<div style=\"float: left; margin-right: 14px;\"><strong><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45658\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone><\/strong><\/div>\n<p>A rezoning application by ClubLink last summer to develop the golf course was vehemently opposed by the five condominium corporations that represent the owners. They hired a planner and were prepared to fight the application at a public meeting scheduled for November, but it was cancelled. The applicant decided not to proceed at that time, according to Town planning staff.<\/p>\n<p>When Doppler spoke to Doughty in early December, he indicated the sale of the property was still at the due diligence stage. He said if all went well, the deal could close early in the new year.<\/p>\n<p>He would not elaborate on his plans for the property, other than to say: \u201cWe have thoughts and ideas but we\u2019re going to start with an engagement of the community and a dialogue around what the vision should be for Grandview and take it one step at a time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>About ClubLinks\u2019 application, which would have included developing the golf course with condominiums, Doughty said he asked that the application be put on hold. \u201cI asked that that process be put on pause until the transaction closes because I don\u2019t think it\u2019s our intention to go forward with that &#8211; with that same sort of an application,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Paul Smith, President of the Bayside Condominium Corporation, said condominium owners are opposed to losing the golf course. He said it\u2019s affordable, you can walk it and it&#8217;s one of the few amenities left. When Delta and ClubLink severed ties in 2012, many of the resort amenities were shut down. But Smith also noted that the area is slowly transforming into a year-round community. He said natural gas is being brought in and a zoning change in 2014 from a tourist commercial to a mixed tourist commercial and residential use has made it so that condominium owners are no longer required  to rent their condos a certain number of days out of the year.<\/p>\n<p>Smith welcomes the rejuvenation of the former resort property, which comprises an estimated 85 acres, saying it would be good for the area, provided the golf course stays. \u201cI think that there\u2019s a huge opportunity to continue to transition as a residential lifestyle community and the more amenities they keep or build, the more chances of them being able to sell,\u201d he said, referring to a new housing development.<\/p>\n<p>Smith will be one of two people representing the interests of the condominium owners and said he looks forward to working cooperatively with the prospective new owners.<\/p>\n<p>Doughty said before planning approvals are sought, the intent is to hold several focus group meetings. \u201cFollowing that we\u2019ll take that input and formulate what our ideas might be for the property. Then we would hold probably a couple of public information sessions with the public and let them come in and see what we\u2019re thinking about as a result of the work with the focus group.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Doughty said he understands concerns about the loss of the golf course. \u201cWe\u2019ll get more input from the focus group as to what their wishes are and what the ultimate vision should be.\u201d He referred to the holes adjacent to Highway 60 as a crown jewel for Huntsville. \u201cIt\u2019s a gorgeous area. It probably doesn\u2019t get a huge amount of play from a golfing perspective but it sure looks great, especially with the Christmas season as we\u2019re coming upon it. It used to be phenomenal out there with the Christmas lights\u2026 it\u2019s kind of a crown jewel for Huntsville and I think that needs to be kept in mind.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!
