Protect Description
The proposed project involves construction of a clubhouse two cottages putting green parking
area storm water facilities in upland areas and other associated infrastructure Their design
would incorporate short game and driving range areas along with three par 3 holes The
applicant s preferred course design would incorporate the large onsite pond as a hazard for one
of the par 3 holes Tee boxes would be constructed along the perimeter of the large pond at
different locations for a range of yardages to a par 3 green The plan has been designed to
provide golfers with regulation length distances for the short game and practice tee areas Short
game and practice tee boxes were designed large enough in size to accommodate many golfers
and rotate divot areas The project proposes permanent impacts to wetland #5 (0 28 acre)

game and practice range tee areas (see attached figure 4) A large putting green the golf lodge
parking spaces and cottages are planned near the entrance off Cindy Lane in upland areas
The proposed wetland impacts would occur to features that formed after two ponds were drained
