she was sworn under oath and her credentials were accepted by the board. She started her testimony by describing the existing conditions in which the golf club is about 277 acres and it is surrounded by residential to the north, residential to the east, residential to the south and residential to the west. The proposed improvements are to expand the existing irrigation pond in the south western section of the golf course and the construction of a new pump house and related improvements and the removal of the existing water tank. The relief that is been requesting is a “C2” variance. This will allow more space for the interior machinery and the new height of the pump house will allow a more consistent look with the rest of the golf course and with residential area. The new pump house will not be the tallest accessory structure on the property and it will 300 feet from the property line, which means it will not impact the view shed and the noise operation will be minimal.
