"It must be understood that the golf course will become a private course for the residents of the River Landing at Sandy Ridge community only."  This statement appeared in the Traffic Impact Analysis Report prepared for Presbyterian Homes, Inc. by Ramey Kemp & Associates, Inc. of Raleigh, NC. prior to annexation into the City of High Point, NC of 127 acres of land where River Landing at Sandy Ridge was to be built.

Apparently three entrances were required by the city planning department, and the statement about closing the golf course to everyone but residents appears to have been used in the Ramey report to support the need for only two entrances, and to persuade the planning department to agree to only two entrances rather than the three that were originally required.

The issue was traffic on Sandy Ridge Road.  If the golf course remained opened to the public, the traffic count would require a third entrance, which would increase the cost to Presbyterian Home, Inc., and would also take away land that could be used for other purposes.

But the question of a third entrance would seem to be one of public safety, not land use choices by Presbyterian Homes, Inc.

In the end two entrances only were accepted by the planning department and recommended to City Council, which approved the plan.

The golf course has continuously remained open to the public, as the sign above reads.  This also was confirmed in the deposition of the executive director of River Landing.

Why is a nonprofit retirement community engaged in the private enterprise of a golf course.  Does this meet the conditions of a 501(c)(3) nonprofit?  It should be questioned and scrutinized.  Where are you IRS?
