L to Pape -d . . 1 Description: The applicant would like to expand the current deed restricted land uses on the property to allow for a broader array of uses in preparation of selling the property. Originally, the applicant was working with a perspective buyer that was interested in conducting auto sales, but that is no longer the case. The request would expand the uses to rooming and boarding houses, manufacturing facilities, major auto repairs, auto sales; and potentially motels, taverns, kennels, and car washes through a conditional use permit. The request includes a limit of 20 vehicles on the property at any one time. Observations: The property is located in an existing commercial area along a frontage road of State Highway 12. All neighboring uses are commercial in nature. There is an existing residence, a two-story retail building (inactive), and several mini-warehouse buildings currently on the lot. The entire area consists of Class II soils. No other sensitive environmental features observed. Town Plan: The Town Plan designates the area as "Highway Crossroads". The purpose is to allow planned commercial development along major road-ways, particularly Hwy 12. Uncontrolled commercial development is discouraged. Resource Protection Area: The property is outside the resource protection area. Staff Comments: The proposal appears to be consistent with Town Plan Policies. Staff is concerned that future uncontrolled exterior lighting in this area may present a traffic hazard along Highway 12. If approved, staff suggests deed restricting the property to the suggested land uses, in addition, prohibiting billboard signs. The deed restriction should require future landowners to obtain site plan approval from the Town Board prior to any changes to the existing land uses. Town Action: Approved conditioned upon the limits on the suggested uses. 12/17 ZLR Action: Motion by Kolar/ Bollig to postpone allowing time for Staff to review the Town Plan policies with the applicant; motion carried, 3-0. YGP: 1-0.
