The first phase of the shelter is to provide temporary shelter to 5 families while renovations are started on the interior of the building. The hours of operation for this phase will be 5:00 pm to 7:30 am seven days a week. When the renovations are complete, the full programing can begin, and the hours would then be 24 hours, seven days a week. OBSERVATIONS: The existing building is 21 feet from the front property line, where the setback requirement is 63' to the center line or 30' from the R.O.W. line. Dane County highways commented that there was not enough information provided to estimate traffic volumes. TOWN PLAN: The subject property falls within the Boundary Adjustment Area—Sun Prairie (BAA-S) of the Burke/DeForest/Sun Prairie/Madison Cooperative Plan. Shelter from the Storm Ministries intends for the property to remain in the town of Burke until annexation of the property into the City of Sun Prairie in 2037 (as defined in the Cooperative Plan). In effort to implement the Cooperative Plan, there is a four-party agreement, reached in 2007, related to lands within the town of Burke. Per the agreement all "development" that occurs within the BAA-S shall be reviewed and approved by the City of Sun Prairie before is it approved by the town of Burke. PLANNING STAFF: Because the property currently in the town of Burke, it is not served by public water and sewer services, and it will not have such service until it is annexed into the City of Sun Prairie. For this reason, it is very important that the septic system is upgraded to serve the proposed use. Additional land area may be needed to accommodate a larger septic drain field, and this may become a limiting factor in how many people may reside in the facility. It is important that this issue is addressed, and it is noted in the list of recommended conditions of approval. Surrounding uses include a few commercial uses and undeveloped land. There are no negative impacts anticipated to surrounding uses. TOWN: The Town of Burke Plan Commission recommended approval of the proposal at its December 21st meeting (voted in favor 6:0). Also on 12/21/2014, the Town Board approved (vote 5:0) a resolution to conditionally approve rezone 10797/CUP 2299. The conditions are as follows: 1. The Conditional Use permit is only valid if the property is being used as a facility to serve homeless women and children as stated in the letter of intent and the property is rezoned to R-2; 2. All requirements, certifications and permits required by City of Sun Prairie, Dane County and State of Wisconsin, are met; 3. All remodeling codes are met; and 4. The property is either connected to City of Sun Prairie sewer or the steps are taken to assure that the septic system is designed to meet the needs of the building occupancy. CITY: On January 20, 2015, the City of Sun Prairie Common Council passed a resolution approving the proposal. The resolution included the following four conditions of approval: 1. The conditional use permit is approved subject to the property being zoned R-2 Residential 2. All building and plumbing codes shall be met for the approved occupancy 3. The parking area shall be striped in a manner to identify each parking space 4.
