DUFFY BROS • , INC. / DUFFY GRAIN, INC. <br /> N3867 BADEN STREET — PO BOX 250 <br /> COLUMBUS, WI 53925 <br /> June 24, 1998 <br /> Dane County Planning & Development <br /> Room 116 <br /> City-County Building <br /> Madison, WI 537709 <br /> TO: Dane County Zoning <br /> Duffy Bros. , Inc. is requesting a change in the 2 acres of Duffy property <br /> and approximately 33 acres of Krebs property located in section 2 - Town of <br /> Sun Prairie. It would be to establish a rail load out for grain that would <br /> serve farmers within parts of Dane, Columbia, and Dodge Counties. It is <br /> currently zoned agricultural and we wish to change it to AB. This application <br /> replaces or succeeds an application made 4-5 years ago - Number 5529, and that <br /> application if still on record should be withdrawn. <br /> Lt"ht;,rrc,.J 54,; ) . ��Jci�deK� zof <br /> The"Statz acreage"'would serve as a road into the Krebs property, plus <br /> } 9� <br /> provide space for railroad siding. The load out would be constructed on the <br /> Krebs land and would consist of at least one and probably two bins--capacity <br /> 85, 000 bushels--42 foot diameter that would serve to handle grain being <br /> delivered and that would supply continuous loading of rail cars during load <br /> out. Also, a truck scale would be installed, along with two truck dumps or <br /> unload pits form which a high capacity auger would direct the grain to a high <br /> speed grain leg that would fill the bins. <br /> Unloading of the bins would be partially accomplished by gravity feed <br /> back into the same leg which would then load rail cars from above as they pass <br /> the loadout. Our original plans will involve loading 27 car units but space <br /> such as rail siding will allow us to load 54 car units if the need arises. <br /> Future development might include additional storage bins to handle fall <br /> harvest and possibly a grain dryer if the need arises. Presently, we have a <br /> 1.25 million bushel elevator with dryer in Columbus, so initially any grain <br /> drying would be done at that facility. The primary purpose of the new <br /> facility will be to attract farm stored grain as farmers sell it. <br /> Possible future plans could include bringing in bulk materials by rail, <br /> such as fertilizer, feed ingredients, or salt to this location that could then <br /> be distributed by truck into the local area. <br /> We would plan to start construction as soon as rezoning is accomplished <br /> and a decision is reached on Twin Lane Road and its ability to handle Truck <br /> Traffic. <br /> D fy Bros. , Inc. <br /> IIhQt1 <br /> ohn Duffy <br /> President/Owner <br />
