cv p 412.300 P. . 2— 2y — 2-ot5 TOWN OF COTTAGE GROVE PUBLIC HEARING AND TOWN BOARD MEETING JANUARY 5, 2015 to accept the Plan Commission's recommendation to approve a rezone of 1.864 acres from R-1A to A-2 and to approve a conditional use permit for a limited family business for snowplowing and contractor activities, as allowed under DCCO sections 10.126(3) (m) Limited Family Business and(r) seasonal storage of recreational vehicles.All equipment must be stored inside the new building which is planned to be 36'x 63'x 12' at truss bottom. All six findings of fact under DCCO section 10.255(2)(b)were considered to be satisfied. MOTION CARRIED 5-0. 2. Dennis Richardson,Agent/Applicant, Huston Living Trust, owner—seeking 10-year extension of Conditional Use Permit for existing mineral extraction site at 3355 County Road N (a.k.a.the"Skaar Pit"): Carolyn Dahl, 3663 T Bird Way, asked why the CUP was for 10 years vs. annually as has been the case. She was advised that what is being considered tonight is a recommendation to Dane County regarding the conditional use permit, not the Town's non-metallic mining permit,which will continue to be considered annually. Dale and Dwight Huston were in attendance, along with Dennis Richardson. They indicated there are no operational changes planned. The current CUP condition (#15)prohibiting water from leaving the site was briefly discussed,with thoughts that the reason it was imposed was to prevent a high-capacity well from being drilled on the property. Since water is pumped from the retention pond and used to water the driveway, it was requested to remove that condition so they will not be deemed in violation if any left over water is taken to water other locations. It was suggested that a condition be added to prohibit high capacity wells directly. MOTION by Anders/Williams to approve a 10 year extension of CUP 2136,with condition#15 regarding no water leaving the site changed to state that no high-capacity wells are allowed on the property. All fmdings of fact under DCCO section 10.255(2)(b)were considered to be satisfied. MOTION CARRIED 5-0. B. Discuss/Consider adoption of TCG Ordinance section 08.09 Regulations Applicable to Agricultural Commercial Vehicles and Implements of Husbandry: Discussion was that the Town Board should serve as the agent for administering the permit. There was confusion over language in on section(2)referring to 348.15(3)(g),with thoughts that it should refer instead to 348.15(3)(c). It seemed that the ordinance as drafted by the DCTA only allows the town to restrict weights per axle, but this restriction alone was stilled deemed as important enough to warrant enactment of the ordinance. MOTION by Fonger/DuPlayee to adopt the ordinance with all references to the 'Agent' changed to the Town Board. MOTION CARRIED 5-0. C. Discuss/Consider priorities for policing of the Town: Discussion was that priority should be placed on policing speeding on Damascus, Baxter,Vilas, Sandpiper, and Vilas Hope roads, although we do not want the Town go get a reputation as a speed trap. Deputies should make an effort to meet business owners and acquaint themselves with neighborhoods. There needs to be a deputy at court each month. There should be enforcement of the new ordinance regarding agricultural commercial vehicles and implements of husbandry. Dumping in road ditches has been a problem, especially on Siggelkow Road. It is hoped that the deputies will make recommendations to the board based on what they observe. MOTION by Hampton/DuPlayee directing the clerk to provide these priorities to Lt. Hayes. MOTION CARRIED 5-0. Page 2 of 3
