Council approves amendment to lease with Swingers Golf Club to expand premises and assign parking responsibilities
Summary
The council authorized a first amendment to the 2024 lease with Swingers Golf Club LLC to expand leased premises at 100 Seldendale Drive to include a golf practice facility and to allocate routine parking-lot maintenance responsibilities between the city and the club; no rent increase was authorized.
Hampton City Council approved a resolution authorizing the first amendment to the lease between the city and Swingers Golf Club LLC for a portion of the property at 100 Seldendale Drive, allowing the club to install a golf-practice facility and clarifying maintenance responsibilities for an adjacent parking lot.
Parks, Recreation and Leisure Services staff explained the lease entered on Jan. 16, 2024 allowed the club to operate a driving range and related activities on part of the parcel. The club requested authorization to expand operations to include a golf practice facility within the leased premises. During negotiations staff and the club identified the need to clarify maintenance of the existing parking lot used by the club’s customers but not formally part of the leased premises.
Under the first amendment the leased area will be expanded to include the practice facility and the club will be responsible for routine parking-lot maintenance (trash, vegetation removal, debris), while the city will retain responsibility for major repairs or improvements to the lot, lighting and signage at city discretion. Parks staff said there would be no increase in rent associated with this first amendment. The council held a public hearing on the amendment (no speakers signed up) and voted to approve the resolution authorizing the amendment. The resolution was adopted by unanimous roll call.
