p Narrative in support of Application for Rezoning for various parcels of property located in Dane Co., Wisconsin. Argue-meet Golf is an undertaking of four principal investors, Arthur and Carolyn Jennrich and Mark and Judith Renner. While the corporate format has not been finalized at the point of this application, it is most likely to be LLC, Sub Chapter S or C Corporation in form. Additional investors and members may be added to the principals in the future. Argue-ment Golf proposes to construct and operate a daily fee golf course, open to the general public, on properties addressed currently as N9603 Argue Road. These properties are severally described below. Within Dane County, Primrose Township Sec 36-5-7 SE 1/4 EXC W 20 Acres 19.900 Acres Parcel #24-0507-364- 950103 and Montrose Township, SEC 31-5-8 FR SW 1/4 SW 1/4 EXC prt LYG SE of Argue RD, 25.500 Acres, Parcel #20-0508-313-9040-0. Within Green County, Exeter township, Section 6 CSM 1229 (V4-P87) Lot 1 cont 11.05A Bng prt NW4 NW4, New Glarus Township, Section 1 SE4 NW4 40A W495 ft of SW4 NE4 15A, Section 1 Fr NW4 39.25A Fr NE4 NE4 37.75 A. As noted in their descriptions, these properties are located in Primrose and Montrose Townships in Dane County and in Exeter and New Glarus Townships in Green County. All properties are currently zoned agricultural and are wholly owned by the principals of Argue-ment Golf. All of the property has been in continual use as working farm land or CRP ground for many years. In order to conduct these various activities, Argue-ment Golf seeks modification of the current zoning status of those properties in Dane County described above to RE 1 from AG, having been instructed that such zoning change is necessary in order to proceed. Green County has already granted a conditional use permit, appropriate to recreational use as a golf course for the portion of the proposed course within its boundaries. The total property in Dane Co. to be rezoned consists of 45.4 acres, 19.9 within Primrose Township, and 25.5 within Montrose Township. This includes area permanently dedicated to the Argue Rd. right of way. Soil and slope conditions present both design and conservation issues which must be addressed for successful operation. Walk around observation of the site indicates previous agricultural grade modification, throughout, by use of terrace grading. Current grass cover appears to have been sufficient to maintain topsoil cover in all open areas. The severest slopes are currently wooded or brushy. These areas will remain undisturbed. A soil type map provided by Dane Co. is attached for review. Soil types include the following: (as defined East to West from the Argue Rd. boundary of the site) SnC2 Seaton Fine Sandy Loam 6 to 12 Percent Slopes. This comprises approximately 20% of the site, running in a N/S direction, paralleling Argue Rd., as well as in a NW to SE direction in a valley area which slopes toward Argue Rd. The area bordered Argue Rd. includes the right of way for Argue Rd. and the brush covered slope adjacent to the roadway itself. The areas paralleling Argue Rd. which are not brush or timber covered, are currently under cultivation. The valley area is
