COMPOSITE REPORT-Page 4 Application No. 7096 D. The subject property is within an area characterized by a mix of commercial and residential zoning and uses (see Exhibit B). Lands to the west across CTH CV are zoned residential and developed with primarily single family residences, although there are duplexes and townhomes close to CV. The "notch" west of the subject property but east of CV contains a utility building in a fenced yard. Lands immediately north and south are zoned commercial and developed with an auto repair shop (north) and mini-warehouses (south). Lands further north and south contain commercial and multiple family uses. E. The Town of Windsor Comprehensive Plan identifies the subject property as appropriate for neighborhood commercial development. Lands in the vicinity are generally planned for residential uses of densities ranging from one to twelve dwelling units per acre. F. The Town of Windsor has yet to take formal action on these requests. The Town Plan Commission has reviewed the project in concept. The Town Business Manager indicates that additional technical detail on the proposal will likely be required. There may also be local desire for a slightly lower development density. G. Prior to ZNR Committee action on the conditional use permit, staff suggests that a revised site plan be prepared and submitted with consideration to the following: 1. Town desires for additional detail and potential revisions, 2. Possible additional landscaping along the CTH CV frontage of the subject property to soften the property's appearance from residential uses across CTH CV, 3. Delineation of the wetland area on the property and removal of all proposed development from the wetland area. (Alternatively, a professional determination that the mapped area is not, in fact, wetland could be made. That area could then be rezoned out of wetland following the normal County zoning process.) 4. Minimization of the number of curb openings onto CTH CV. The applicant should consult with Highway and Transportation Staff to identify whether the number and location of proposed driveways is acceptable. H. Highway staff are seeking dedication of additional right-of-way for CTH CV with this project. Such dedication could be a condition of rezoning approval. III. SUMMARY A. If approved, the proposal would rezone 9 acres for a mixed retail and multiple family residential development containing multiple family residences (120 units) and retail uses (13,000 sq. ft.). There are DNR mapped wetlands on the northeast edge of the property. The wetland issue should be resolved prior to project approvals. Adjustments to the site plan are also .esira. e, an. may .e required by t e own. The proposal is generally consistent with town and county plans, and with neighborhood zoning and land uses. B. Because the Town Board has yet to take action on either the rezoning or CUP request, the ZNR Committee should delay action. Staff will be in a position to suggest potential conditions to the rezoning and/or conditional use permit when the timing is appropriate.
