Attached hereto are <br /> reports, affidavits and other materials which support this <br /> resubmission. <br /> CHANGE IN CONDITIONS <br /> 1. Dedication of Land as Oak Grove Conservancy. <br /> As a condition of the approval of CUP #1415, Sam J. Jacobsen ,,rte <br /> has agreed to dedicate a parcel of land adjacent to the proposed '- <br /> school site as an Oak Grove Conservancy area. The dedication of - <br /> this land for such purpose will take the form of a deed <br /> restriction pursuant to which the adjacent parcel will be lie- <br /> maintained as a natural preserve . The trees on said parcel shal <br /> not be disturbed without the prior consent of the Dane County <br /> Land Conservationist . These restrictions will run with the land <br /> and shall be deemed to benefit Dane County. <br /> A copy of a proposed deed restriction which establishes the <br /> above Oak Grove Conservancy area is attached hereto as Exhibit A. <br /> A deed restriction substantially similar to Exhibit A will be <br /> executed and filed by Mr. Jacobsen as a further condition of CUP <br /> #1415 . <br /> Copies of site plans which show the proposed Oak Grove <br /> Conservancy area and that area in relation to the proposed school <br /> site are attached hereto as Exhibit B. <br /> NEW EVIDENCE <br /> 1 . Evidence Related to Environmental Concerns. <br /> At the prior hearing of Madison Country Day School' s appeal <br /> before the Dane County Board of Supervisors, a concern was raised <br /> that the operation of a school at the proposed site would have an <br /> adverse impact on the level of nitrates in the groundwater. In <br /> response to this concern, a report has been prepared by the firm <br /> of Ayres Associates which demonstrates that the level of <br /> leachable nitrogen in the soil, or nitrates, would in fact be <br /> lower from the operation of the school than from the existing <br /> agricultural use . The report concludes that "there is more <br /> nitrogen available for impacting groundwater with agricultural <br /> use of the property than from the proposed school onsite <br /> wastewater treatment and dispersal system. " In other words, use <br /> of the property as a school will have a positive environmental <br /> impact on the area. <br /> 1x,,5 is <br /> AcAp <br />
