SCHOELL & MADSON, INC. <br />MikcGaffron May 21, 1997 <br />Wildlife observed in the grassland areas are: tree sparrows, blue birds, gold finch, <br />redwing black bird and white tailed deer. <br />Brushland areas are small and scattered patches throughout the property. The largest area <br />of brushland is approximately 5.5 acres, and is located along the north property boundary. The <br />brush areas arc former pasture land which have been abandoned and invaded by sumac, prickly <br />ash and/or aspen saplings. These areas are slowly succeeding into forest as evidenced by maple <br />saplings, and occasional black cherry and American eln Species c mposition is dependent on <br />adjacent forest community types. <br />b. Inherent in the overall design process, the designer prepares a number of designs <br />progressing from a concept design to preliminary design to final design. Each step of the design <br />process has an increased level of detail. Because of this, the post construction characterization of <br />covertypes for the concept and preliminary designs are less defined and lack detail for plantings, <br />as well as NURP ponds and wetland mitigation areas. <br />In general, the portion of the golf course which was defined innerms of covertypes of <br />grassland, brushland and woodland can only be compared using the details provided in each <br />design. This detail is the area converted into golf course and areas which will be maintained in a <br />more natural character. A detail map of the final design grass and landscaping plan is available. <br />The Spring Hill Golf Club area located south of County Road 6 is approximately 110 <br />acres in size. <br />Design Acres/Hole <br />not including <br />practice area <br />Total Yards of <br />Fairways <br />Average Width <br />of Fainvay <br />Preliminary 12 3,370 yds 200 ft. <br />Intermediate 10 4,135 yds 100 to 200 ft. <br />Final 10 4.293 yds 150 to 200 ft. <br />* Anaivsis includes the entire 110 acres south of Co. Rd. 6 <br />The decrease in acres per hole and the increase in total yards of fairway in the <br />intermediate and final designs are a result of removing the two fairways from the northern <br />property in order to avoid Big Woods impacts. <br />Vegetation in most grasskuid and brush areas detailed in the final design will be changed. <br />The wooded areas will be left with the same dominant vegetative cover type. The final design <br />incorporates construction of natural areas that will be planted with native gra.sses such as big <br />I
