curbside collections conducted for City residents in the Spring and the Fall. Annually 4,400 cubic yards of materials are generated however at the site less than 1000 cubic yards will ever exist at any one time. Wood chip waste. Wood chip materials are brought to the Center from the production of curbside collections. In addition brush materials are accepted at the Center and chipped on site on Saturdays during the months of April through November. Most of the wood chip materials are given away to residences,businesses or farmers desiring these materials. Some wood chips are used as ground cover at the site to create an all weather work and patron access surface. Appliances/scrap metal.

A contact station(8' x 10')will be utilized along with a covered building for waste oil(8'x 10')and another metal structure to store tires,batteries and light tubes. None of the buildings have permanent footings. Although not in existence at the present time,that the construction of the facility will include screening and fencing on the north side toward the park and on the east side toward the business. A combination of shrubs and trees will be used for screening. A chain link fence is also planned for security along the north and east boundaries. Natural vegetation exists on the west and south side. Some minor vegetation additions are needed to fill in on the southern boundary. The City is requesting immediate occupancy of the premises with the screening to be established within six months of occupancy. See Exhibit"A". 5.) DNR Review The Department of Natural Resources has conducted a site inspection and has authorized the composting facility and recycling drop off Center to occur at this site. 6.) Town of Sun Prairie. The Township of Sun Prairie was contacted initially. They indicted that they would agree to the decisions made by the Dane County Zoning and Natural Resources Committee. I understand that the City would need to receive a building permit from the township for the temporary structures.
