COMPOSITE REPORT-Page 4 Application No. CUP 1457 The site plan does not include the house and proposed addition(staff added these later); other small buildings on site; or the location of the well, septic tank, and drainage field. C. There is an intermittent stream crossing the north edge of the subject site, but existing flow in this channel suggests that it is not navigable(see Exhibit B). FEMA maps show an approximately 300 foot wide floodplain area straddling that stream. The proposed buildings may be at least partially within the floodplain. Development is not recommended within any floodplain area. Staff advise that a more exact determination of floodplain boundaries be made before CUP approval. In any case, an erosion control plan will be required prior to issuance of a zoning (building) permit and further excavation. D. Approval of CUP 1364 was conditioned upon approval of a waste management plan. Comments from both Environmental Health and Land Conservation suggest the need for a new waste management plan for the project. Environmental Health also indicates that insect/vermin and odor control should also be considered. E. There are existing residences immediately east of the subject property along CTH TT. The remainder of the surrounding area is primarily agriculture and open space, with some additional residences across TT. A fence on the east side of the subject property and a dense wooded area along TT provide visual screening(see Exhibit A). F. Staff has preliminarily reviewed the request against the six conditions for granting a CUP in S. 10.255(2)(h). In general, it appears that the expansion would be compatible with the surrounding area. However, staff was unable to conduct a complete review given the plan materials and project description which are available thusfar. Questions related to the standards include the following: 1. What is the public health and welfare impact? Will there be a greater impact on adjacent properties than the existing CUP? Waste management will be important. Further, although the visual impacts will be mitigated, noise and odor impacts are more difficult to determine. Staff advise that the applicant submit information on noise mitigation techniques, including any sound baffling in the buildings where dogs will be boarded/trained, and estimates of the volume of manure and wash water expected. Also, plans for waste management, erosion control, odor control, and pest/vermin control should be submitted. At the discretion of the Committee, approval of these plans can be made conditions of CUP approval. 2. Will adequate utilities, access roads, drainage, and other necessary site improvements be made? Staff advise submittal of a revised site plan prior to action on this CUP. That plan should be drawn to scale and include a) The location and dimensions of all existing and proposed buildings and other structures (e.g., fencing) on the property, b) Delineations of the intermittent stream and floodplain area by a registered land surveyor. c) The location of the private well, septic system, and septic drain field. All buildings must be at least 50 feet from the well (or else a variance is required). No buildings or parking may be in the drain field.
