Surrounding Area Characteristics: The majority of the surrounding land uses are agricultural, and there are two rural residential subdivisions located in the same section of the town. One is composed of the Shamrock Glen Subdivision (and its first addition), plus three CSMs that add up to approximately 34 lots. To the south, across Greenbriar Road, is the Cherry Hill Subdivison, containing 20 lots. South of Cherry Hill, between Cherry Hill and the City of Middleton, is a non-conforming (NC) mineral extraction site (registered under County Zoning regulations in 1969). All of these uses are located in close proximity to the Hwy 12 corridor. Town Plan: Town of Springfield Comprehensive Plan: The subject property is located in the Agricultural Preservation district. The objective of this district is to "Preserve productive agricultural lands in the long-term". This district allows "limited commercial, and institutional uses", utilizes a residential density policy of one/35 acres, and allows mineral extraction operations as conditional uses. Compliance with County Ordinances: Per Section 10. 126(3)(a), concrete plants are allowed as a conditional use in the A-2 district.

That the uses, values and enjoyment of other property in the neighborhood for purposes already permitted shall be in no foreseeable manner substantially impaired or diminished by establishment, maintenance or operation of the conditional use. 3. That the establishment of the conditional use will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of the surrounding property for uses permitted in the district. 4. That adequate utilities, access roads, drainage and other necessary site improvements have been or are being made. 5.
