COMPOSITE REPORT-Page 12 Application No. CUP 1484 The County Parks and Open Space Plan identifies the subject property as part of a proposed "Badger Mill Creek"resource protection area. This plan states that the proposed designation"recommends that the wetlands and adjacent uplands along Badger Mill Creek be protected from the Badger Prairie Park south to the confluence of the Sugar River."Allowing a more intensive use on the property could affect the resource and recreational value of this future resource protection area. The applicant has offered to donate lands to the County for park and/or resource protection purposes (see Page 5 of Operators proposed 5/14 conditions). Parks staff have not yet had the opportunity to consider this offer. 4. That adequate utilities, access roads, drainage, and other necessary site improvements will be provided. Proper erosion control techniques will have to be approved and maintained to ensure that construction site drainage does not impact surface waters. The operator has submitted a Phase 1 erosion control plan to the County for approval. There has also been some concern among neighbors that drainage from the farm to the east would flow into the pond. Map G shows how the operator intends to divert such drainage both north and south of the pond to the STH 69 ditches at reclamation. There should be provisions to control against mud being tracked onto STH 69. 5. That adequate measures are being taken to provide ingress and egress to minimize traffic congestion. The operator has agreed to make all road/intersection improvements recommended by Paulson and Associates, WisDOT staff, and County staff before any hauling begins. WisDOT reviewed the Paulson plan for access and on February 9 DOT District 1 staff indicated preliminary acceptance of those plans with suggestions for additional right-of-way dedication. The Paulson report mentions the importance of maintaining vision triangles in all directions at the access road. At Planning staffs suggestion, the applicant has agreed to a 300 foot acceleration lane for northbound traffic leaving the site--this will be the predominant traffic movement and will allow trucks to approach the speed of traffic on STH 69 before merging. The operator has also agreed not to haul through the City of Verona unless a load was destined for that City. 6. That the conditional use shall comply with all applicable regulations. The project as presented must comply with several local, state, and federal regulations on an ongoing basis. It appears that the operator intends to comply with all regulations. K. According to S. 10.123(3)(a) of the zoning ordinance, the ZNR Committee must also consider the following factors when approving CUPs in the A-1 Exclusive District: 1. The statement of purposes of the zoning ordinance and the A-1 Exclusive Agriculture District. The purpose of the district, in part, is to preserve productive agricultural land and preserve productive farms by preventing land use conflicts. 2. The potential for conflict with agricultural use. See Section II(F)3 above. 3. The need of the proposed use for a location in an agricultural area. The operator has presented information related to the large volume of sand and gravel on the site. The operator also indicates that the location on a state highway and close to the
