The location of the proposed use so as to reduce to a minimum the amount of productive agricultural lands converted. H. The need for public services created by the proposed use. I.

At its January 5 meeting, the Cottage Grove Town Board recommended that the ZNR Committee approve the CUP with four conditions.

The Town Board may again take this request up at its February 16 meeting. Town officials have agreed to fax written notice to the county on the 17th if their recommendation changes. III. SUMMARY A. The proposed CUP is for a 57 acre mineral extraction operation, primarily to provide sand and gravel for the USH 12-18 reconstruction project. Revised plans and proposals help address visual, noise, dust, and traffic impacts of this project.
