BISHOPS BAY COUNTRY CLUB LAKE MENDOTA TOWN OF WESTPORT, DANE COUNTY, WISCONSIN General Project Description/For Dane County Rezoning Application The Bishop's Bay Country Club project is located within the Town of Westport on the north shore of Lake Mendota within the jurisdiction of Dane County zoning. The site for the proposed project is a combination of R-1 (single family residential zoning) A-1, A-2 and A-3 (agricultural zoning) and RH-1. The portion of the project proposed for golf course housing related development is within the central urban service area - existing boundaries and served by municipal sewered service from the Town of Westport sanitary district. The Bishop's Bay Country Club project site contains no officially mapped environmental corridors or wetlands. Primary access to the project is from CTH M. The Bishop's Bay Country Club is to be a private membership Country Club and 18 hole golf course. The Country Club buildings and related facilities (to include, tennis club, swimming pool, health club, restaurant and bar facilities, golf and health club pro shop, and uses customarily related to the operation of a private country club and golf course) is to be located with views and access to the Lake Mendota frontage. The country rezoning request is to rezone this approximate 10.8 acre +/- parcel from R-1 residential to B-1 general business district for the purpose of allowing the country club uses. This B-1 district would be further restricted to limit the allowable uses. The Bishop's Bay Country Club development plan includes approximately 100 +/- large lot single family detached homesites (on sanitary sewered system) that are oriented along the already residentially zoned fringes of the proposed golf course. The development plan also includes an attached housing project component that would allow approximately 150 town home styled condominium units. There is currently not a request for this zoning change within the county and township. It is anticipated that this Town House component of the County Club project would be subject to annexation and zoning by the City of Middleton. The rezoning request includes the change of zoning from R-1, A-1, A-2, A-3 and RH-1 to RE-1 recreational district. The area proposed for this rezoning is the "envelope" within which the 18 hole golf course would be constructed. This rezoning is required to allow for the construction of a golf course within the Dane County Zoning ordinance. ATTACHMENT 'A'
