E. Public, Local Government, And Agency Input <br /> As of the date of this report,the position of the Town of Sun Prairie was not known. <br /> The county Land Conservation Department(LCD)has expressed concerns about the impact <br /> increased impervious surface areas would have on the quantity and quality of stormwater runoff <br /> from the site. LCD suggests that appropriate stormwater management practices be included to <br /> adequately control peak flows for a 2-year storm event. LCD has also noted that because of the <br /> hazardous nature of some of the materials (such as used motor oil)to be stored on the site, <br /> appropriate measures should be taken to avoid ground or surface water contamination resulting <br /> from stormwater runoff. Such measures should specifically address containment and <br /> management of materials improperly deposited after hours or on days the recycling center is <br /> closed. The City has indicated that it intends to have staff visit the site at least once a day, except <br /> for Sundays, and improperly deposited materials would not be left unattended for more than <br /> twenty-four hours. <br /> Dane County Regional Planning Commission staff comment that the proposed use appears <br /> consistent with adopted town and county plans. As of the date of this report,no other county <br /> agency had commented on this proposal. <br /> Staff received one phone call from a neighbor who expressed concern about potential traffic <br /> conflicts with the ball fields and Sheehan Park and odor and dust from the recycling center. <br /> III. CONCLUSIONS <br /> A. Summary of main issues/findings <br /> The proposed recycling center seems reasonably consistent with adopted town, city and county <br /> plans, and would seem generally compatible with surrounding land uses. The proposal will <br /> likely result in increased stormwater runoff due to increased impervious surface area, and poses <br /> some risk of ground or surface water contamination due to improper storage of hazardous <br /> materials such as waste motor oil. These potential impacts will have to be appropriately <br /> mitigated to meet the county ordinance standards for approval of a conditional use permit. <br /> B. Recommended conditions of approval <br /> If the committee chooses to approve this conditional use permit, it may wish to consider the <br /> following conditions: <br /> 1. Prior to the issuance of any zoning permits, or prior to the opening of the recycling <br /> center,the City of Sun Prairie shall submit a stormwater management and erosion control plan <br /> approved by the County Land Conservation Department. At a minimum, such plan shall <br /> specifically address: <br /> a) Ongoing and effective control and management of peak flows following a 2-year storm event <br /> to meet the standards of the Lake Mendota Priority Watershed project. <br /> b) Containment of any leaks, spills or runoff on the site, including that resulting from materials <br /> improperly deposited when the recycling center is closed. Such containment shall effectively <br /> 5 <br />
