Streu Construction Company is requesting a Conditional Use Permit for the purpose of operating a Concrete Batch Plant on lands located within Section#33, T7N, R11E, Town of Cottage Grove, Dane County, Wisconsin. This site is owned by Skaar Scattered Acres,Inc.and is currently under lease to Huston Holdings for the purpose of mineral extraction. Huston Holdings has informed Streu Construction that they have been approved for conditional use permits from the Town of Cottage Grove as well as the Dane County Zoning Commission. The area that Streu Construction wishes to operate on lies completely within the boundaries of the Huston Holdings site albeit on a much smaller area which will not exceed five acres. Streu Construction has been subcontracted to perform concrete paving operations for construction of USH 12/18 from IH 90 to STH 134 during the 1998 construction season and wishes to utilize this site as a production location for the Portland Cement Concrete Paving Mixture required to complete this work. The time frame for usage would begin as soon as permitting allows in the month of May, 1998 when pieces of the concrete plant would be delivered and shortly after erected. The actual production of concrete is scheduled to begin the first week in June 1998 and continue as needed through October 1998 which is scheduled completion of operations. At this time the plant will be disassembled and removed. If weather does not permit this the plant may not be removed till spring 1999. Please note that all of the time frame falls well within the permit granted for this areas use as a mineral resource by Huston Holdings. Operations will primarily during a two week period in June and a three week period from late August through mid-September. At peak, operations will utilize up to eighteen tri-axle and quad axle trucks hauling the Concrete Mixture to the paving operation.Access will be either off of CTH N to 12/18 or if the DOT will allow- directly to the grade. Peak operation should only consist of approximately twelve working days. The remainder of operations will utilize seven or less trucks.Normal working hours for operations are 6:00 A.M.to 6:00 P.M. Monday through Friday, unless special circumstance requires.No activity will take place on Sundays and/or legal holidays. Streu Constructions portable batch plants are equipped with noise control devices such as mufflers and dust control filters as approved by the WDNR. Operations should have no permanent damaging effects to the site. As part of the Huston Holdings Erosion Control Plan the site is bermed to prevent runoff from the site as well as an aid for controlling noise. Dust control for hauling operations will be achieved by water trucks being available to spray haul areas. Above all and utmost is that this particular site is extremely close to the Highway 12/18 project. This allows our access to the project with maximum safety and the lowest potential for inconvenience to the surrounding population as well as the motoring public. We believe that this location serves best the interest to all parties involved. As mentioned above,we are requesting usage of this site nearly immediately. Therefore we would respectfully request that if at all possible,the Dane County Zoning and Natural Resources Committee issue a decision at their May 26,1998 Public Hearing.
