MAR 23 '98 03:18PM TOWN OF WESTPORT P.18/21 It. Rural Non-Farm District • '1 he Rural Non-Farm District is established to provide for rural land uses other than farming related .3:tivities. Such land uses may include institutional,resource extraction,equipment storage,and gri-business. .1 olides: 1. All land uses in this district shall be compatible with agricultural land uses on adjacent parcels. . Permitted uses may include institutional activities,resource extraction,utilities, equipment storage,recreational lands,and agri-business. :. To recognize mineral extraction as a necessary land use to provide construction materials for use by both the public sector and private sector. New or expanding mineral extraction sites will be considered for rezoning if the following polities and criteria are met: a. Copies of the maps,reclamation plans,and application materials submitted to the county zoning administrator should also be submitted directly to the Town by the applicant. b. That the expansion of a mineral extraction site or the establishment of new sites meet the conditional use standards of the Dane County Zoning Ordinance after consideration by the Town Planning Commission and Town Board. In summary form,the conditional use standards address these basic issues: • That the conditional use will not be substantially detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety and general welfare; • That the other permitted uses,values and enjoyment of other property in the neighborhood shall be in no foreseeable manner substantially impaired or diminished by establishment,maintenance or operation of the conditional use; • That the conditional use will not negatively impact the future development of neighboring property; • That adequate access roads,drainage,and other necessary site improvements are provided in the conditional use; • That the conditional use will not have a substantially adverse impact on traffic congestion on public roads; • That the conditional use conforms to other applicable zoning district regulations. Note: In most cases,both rezoning to the A-2 Agricultural District and a conditional use permit will be required. If the site is dearly inappropriate,the zoning should be opposed. If the use can be accommodated under certain conditions,then any necessary conditions should be suggested to the County Zoning Committee. c. Commercial and industrial uses on-site should be limited to those directly related to mineral resource use such as redi-mix concrete and hot mix paving plants. Careful evaluation of the air and water quality impacts from hot mix or reds-mix plants should be incorporated in the review process. 44 EXHIBIT D-4
