Holscher by deed dated January 20, 1908 in Volume 208 of deeds, page 523 as Document Number 285138. Included in the above description, lot One, (1), Certified Survey map No. 1231 recorded in volume 5 of Certified Survey maps of Dane county, Wisconsin, page 141, as Document Number 1374349. My client's intent is to construct a 9-hole golf course on their existing property. The parcels total acreage is 105 acres in which only approximately 72 acres will be used by the golf course and 3 acres zoned B-1 and the remaining land will be left as open prairie. Bradt Farms Inc. plans on using the existing topography with only very minor grading to construct raised greens and tee boxes. They also plan to create wetland detention basin in areas of high hydric soils. These wetland areas will delineate between holes 7,8 and 9. When Bradt Farms Inc. did some minor grading prior to the stop work order, they took environmental cautions by placing silt fence, seeding and mulching in critical areas in which potential runoff could occur. I have been in contact with Craig McCallum of the Dane County land Conservation, Chris DeRemer of the Department of Natural Resources and James Knowles of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers of the work that has taken place and the intent of Bradt Farms Inc. to construct a 9-hole golf course.
