1 In addition, propane, and or hea ing oil will be required. Storage of fuels and lubricating materials will be per applicable State of Wisconsin regulation. 8. Noise and dust We are anticipating minimal additional noise and dust beyond what is ordinary for agricultural operations. The vas`. majority of construction activity will be carried out with common agricultural tools. � In addition, those portions of the property not immediately used for the golf course will remain in agricultural production. 9. Economic impact The golf course should generate in excess of $100,000.00 gross revenues annually as initially configured. This would be roughly comparable to a well-run family farm of similar size. Tax revenues to the state will be increased by the amount of sales tax generated on rounds of golf, retail sales, and cart rentals. Township taxes, school taxes, and county taxes for acilities of this nature are typically higher than for farm properties. As an additional recreation I destination in the Belleville, Paoli, New Glarus area, some additional retail, resta rant, and tourist traffic may be expected. The amount is impossible to estimate at his time. Properties adjacent to got facilities may increase in valuation, thereby improving the tax base. Seasonal employment for a number of persons in addition to the principals is likely on an annual basis. 10. Public Safety Golf is potentially injurious to players and to unaware bystanders. The properly struck golf ball travels significant istances at significant speeds, and it is hard. A public roadway, Argue Road, parall Is two proposed fairways. A golf ball crossing into the roadway could do damage to ve icles or be a sufficient startling event to initiate an accident. The proposed holes will e oriented in such a way that the average golfer's tendency to slice, or curve the ball the right, will be used to the advantage of public safety, directing balls away from t e road by routing play from north to south. In addition, the first portion of both fa rways will be angled away from the road right of way. It is impossible to deter som one from deliberately hitting a ball at the road, an irresponsible act of possibly crimina mischief. Injuries to other golfers can be partially prevented by encouragement of proper golf etiquette and by course design, maintaining reasonable distances b tween likely landing areas and adjacent holes. Pond areas could present a hazard to persons trespassing for non-golf purposes such as unauthorized swi ming. Operation of golf carts an the various pieces of maintenance equipment provide hazards common to all m torized equipment. This will be particularly true because of the elevations within th course. Warnings about use of equipment will be offered to make persons aware of t e potential for injury due to abuse.
