proceed in as few as three years or never, depending upon economic factors.) Where some portion of the ground is unused for the course, we anticipate utilizing it for grain crops and hay, when that use is appropriate by grade and soil type. Other unused portions will lie fallow, as in CRP, or be planted to a variety of trees appropriate to the area. For two of the greens areas proposed for the second nine, the existing grade will have to be modified substantially to provide appropriate grade for use as greens. A halfway house or comfort station may be desirable for the second nine as well We are aware that specific additional permits will be required to undertake this work and will make such application as necessary, at that time. Dane County work, during the 9 hole initial development phase (1998-1999), will be limited to mowing existing turf grass areas for portions of two fairways, application of appropriate broadleaf weed controls to fairway areas, incorporation of additional turf grasses through slit seeding in existing turf, formation of two greens by use of existing top soil augmented, as needed, by top soil fill from pond construction elsewhere on the course, and the placement of top soil fill material,collected field stone, stacked sod, and/or timber material for purposes of leveling appropriate tee areas. Removal of existing turf grasses in the areas of the two greens will be required to facilitate planting of bent grass for the green. Use of a larger capacity landscaping tiller to incorporate topsoil fill in the green area and to prepare the seed bed is anticipated. In the course of mowing fairway areas, sections requiring additional application of top soil to improve the grade may be found. These will be top dressed as needed from stockpiled top soil fill, both initially and during use of the course over the years. The extent of this cannot be reasonably determined at this time. One plastic pipeline will be laid within a slit trench to the green located in the Primrose township parcel for purposes of intermittent irrigation of that green. This will run approximately 900' plus or minus, within Dane Co. The irrigation water will be drawn from a well and or ponds within Green Co.) All holes will be equipped with multiple tee areas to afford a variety of levels of difficulty of play. Fairways, tees, and greens will be situated and located on regularly tilled portions of the property, to minimize removal of existing mature trees. Adequate setbacks from public rights of way will be maintained for public safety. In addition, fairways fronting on public rights of way will be situated in such a way that an intentional misdirection of a shot would be required to cross the right of way. Use of drought hardy turf grass is anticipated to minimize water usage. Maintenance of wooded areas and brush islands on the property is anticipated to provide habitat for the various birds and animals currently frequenting the site. Use of the ground as it currently lies is anticipated, with minimum movement of earth to alter existing contour, except where required for greens and tee areas. The contour of the existing ground is such that imposition of sand traps will not be necessary to maintain course interest and playability. Use of grassy waste areas and grass hazards around the greens will be quite sufficient. While housing along golf course fairways can be a significant source of development dollars, no such activity is planned or called for on any of the properties of the course within Dane County, including any housing for owners or managers. 1 he principals are willing to deed restrict the land to that effect, at the time of property transfer to corporate ownership, should such permanent nondevelopment assurance
