Commission approves expansion and new maintenance shed at Wood Creek Club with landscape and paving conditions
Summary
The Planning Commission approved a roughly 560-square-foot expansion to an existing maintenance shed and a new 1,200-square-foot shed at Wood Creek Club, with conditions including additional landscaping, paving of the parking lot and addressing a light shining toward homes.
The Columbia City Planning Commission approved site plan SPlan-2025-0002 for an expansion of the existing maintenance facility at Wood Creek Club and construction of a new, smaller maintenance shed, subject to conditions agreed between the applicant and staff.
Staff described the project as enlarging an existing maintenance building (approximately 6,300 square feet) by about 560 square feet and adding a new 1,200-square-foot structure adjacent to the pool. The developer agreed to add a row of evergreen landscaping (already dug and scheduled for planting), pave the parking lot and investigate a spotlight that is shining toward a neighboring home after motion sensors were added.
Applicant Harold Pickrell explained crews discovered a legacy septic field during site preparation, which delayed paving; he said the septic issue has been resolved and paving was expected within about 30 days. Pickrell said the additional landscaping and paving should reduce noise and visual impacts; he described the new shed as storage intended to hide equipment and chemicals and to clean up the maintenance area.
The commission voted to approve the site plan with the staff comments and the conditions summarized in the case summary.
