Dane County Planning & Development sent suggestions for the Mittenthal request. The applicant is proposing to create a pick your own or wholesale vegetable/fruit business on a 4 acre property in Section 26, Town of Montrose. Concerns with the property consist of the following: 1) The site is accessed from a narrow Town Road. It does not appear that the drive path would support two-way traffic on a consistent basis. There is a single-family residence located approximately 150 feet from the proposed business operation and one housing density right has been allocated for the site. If the business development occurs, the property would not be eligible for a residence on site. The Town Board decided to have an addendum to the motion made on September 1, 2015 as follows: Addendum motion made by Randy Francois, seconded by Dan Palmer and made unanimous by Roger Hodel to have the following added to the September 1, 2015 motion for Robin Mittenthal request to rezone 4.27 acres from RH-2 to A-B the following : 1) The property be assigned the zoning district classification of A-B Agri-business Zoning District. 2) A deed restriction shall be recorded on the property to limit the land uses to a pick your own or wholesale fruit/vegetable operation. Ancillary sales of jams,jellies,juices, and pies from product grown on the property would be allowed. 3) A deed restriction shall be recorded on the property to prohibit residential development of the property. 4) Hours of operation for sales shall be limited to Sam to 8pm seasonally, May through November. 5) The number of employees shall be limited to no more than 4 full-time equivalent employees, in addition to the owner/operator. 6) Prior to operation, site plan approval shall be obtained from the Town Board to address adequate on-site parking for the operation and the maximum building size for the operation. 7) On-street parking along Butts Road shall be prohibited. The landowner shall be responsible for posting "no parking" signs along Butts Road. 8) Public Works Director shall evaluate the condition of the Butts Road and the ability of the roadway to support two-way traffic. If improvements are needed, the landowner should be responsible for road improvements prior to the commencement of the operation. Motion carried. Remy Road was corrected to Butts Road and "pick your own" was changed to pick your own or wholesale. A driveway permit will be needed. Motion made by Randy Francois, seconded by Dan Palmer and made unanimous by Roger Hodel to accept Amending Chapter 10 of the Dane County Code of Ordinances 16, 2015, Regarding State Certification of the Farmland Preservation Zoning Ordinance.
