comply with the requirements for C-2 zoning. Note that Section 10.14 of the County Zoning Ordinance would allow residences only for a"watchman or caretaker"associated with a permitted commercial use. Zoning permits will be necessary before any construction may begin, and sanitary permits will be necessary before any buildings for human habitation are occupied. Depending on the size and location of excavations associated with the proposed commercial building, an Erosion Control Permit under Chapter 14, and/or a Special Exception Permit from the County Board of Adjustments may also be required. A certified survey map will be required to create the proposed lots, and a delayed effective date should be applied if the rezoning petition is approved. II. ANALYSIS A. Compliance with County Ordinances The County Zoning, Shoreland, Floodplain, Subdivision and possibly Erosion Control ordinances apply. To satisfy the active zoning violation, all junk and inoperable vehicles will have to be removed or stored in enclosed buildings, or the landowner must apply for a license to operate a salvage yard. Several parcels adjacent to the proposed C-2 parcel have residential zoning, so it may be difficult to satisfy ordinance requirements that salvage yards be at least 200 feet from a residential district. Any buildings used for human occupation must be appropriately permitted and have an installed septic system or be abandoned. B. Compliance with Adopted Plans Town Land Use Plan The property is in the Lower Terrace Planning District of the Town of Mazomanie Land Use Plan. Within this district,the Mazomanie plan requires site plans, erosion control plans, and suitability for a soil-absorption septic system at the time of residential construction. The Town has also adopted general policies governing commercial uses anywhere in the township. These general guidelines include requirements that non-agricultural commercial uses be limited to those comparable to uses listed in the Limited Commercial Zoning District in the County Zoning ordinance, create minimal conflict with nearby residences and farm operations, do not require septic systems and use a minimal area to accommodate the proposed use. Parks and Open Space Plan/Project Plans See discussion of environmental features below. C. Environmental features Approximately 2/3 of the proposed RH-3 lot(Lot 1 on the Preliminary CSM) is in the 100-year floodplain of Marsh Creek, a navigable tributary of the Wisconsin River. According to the Wisconsin Wetland Inventory, an extensive, contiguous complex of forested and shrub palustrine wetlands runs along both shores of the creek. For the area on Lot 1 that is outside the floodplain, the Dane County Soil Survey shows all but the northeastern quarter-acre of the lot as covered with Wateska(Wt) loamy sand soils. Wateska soils are classified as posing severe restrictions on the construction of buildings with or without basements, due to high water tables and their 2
