[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I get the feeling that there is one TP fool who thinks this is her issue and hill to die on. I guess the sit in over parking spaces is over.

Sigh -this is the dumbest issue. First, this is not much tax revenue. Second, it would even go into effect into 2030. Third, it will just lead to more development without infrastructure and schools as the clubs shut down and the owners get a windfall from being rezoned into residential land use.

I get that the local fool has a passionate hate for country clubs and wants to destroy them. OK everyone needs a little hobby so have it at but the rest of the adults need to focus on substantive issues to turn the county around not distractions. [/quote]

Not much tax revenue? $9.8m in extra revenue ANNUALLY just by bringing Chevy Chase Club up to the normal tax rate as residential property. And yes, the CCC is "improved" property - they have large buildings, sports facilities, landscaping, complex irrigation and plumbing systems, etc. Plus parking.

Multiply that by how many golf courses in MoCo? That's A LOT of money.[/quote]
