Fireside Room <br />Completed Improvements <br />The Fireside Room at Laurelwood has been given our least amount of attention. Although it <br />is in dire need of remodel, we are taking it one step at a time. We are thankful that the city was <br />able to purchase and install new carpeting in January of 2008. To date the Fireside Room has only <br />been utilized as a rental facility for weddings, parties and etc. The room averages approximately <br />7,500- 10,000 visitors yearly. <br />Proposed Improvements <br />* incorporate a restaurant /catering business into the facility. <br />*build a deck on the Southside of the building that would increase the size and provide one <br />of the best views in town] <br />*a restaurant would have a smaller more consistent neighborhood impact; while the <br />catering hall creates a large & sometimes loud footprint on the neighborhood. <br />Restaurant <br />Pros. <br />- allows non - golfers to meet with golfers <br />- Service local area residents <br />- Destination spot for town <br />-Only restaurant in town with a deck <br />overlooking the valley and the butte <br />- solves parking issue <br />Corns: <br />-not sure what success it will have <br />Financial Comparison (3 years) <br />Year <br />Totals <br />2006 <br />Iry C. 24,637 <br />2007 (Jan. -Mar.) <br />Iry C. $6,067 <br />2007 (Oct. -Dec.) <br />$6,165 <br />2008 <br />$28,544 <br />2009 <br />$29,381 <br />Catering/Meeting Hall <br />Pros: <br />- serves the needs of weddings, funerals, <br />neighborhood meetings, <br />birthdays, graduations, etc. <br />-financial track record <br />Cbm: <br />-no connection with golf course <br />- parking issues <br />-empty most of the year <br />
