y , r a <br /> Nationwide Permit Application <br /> and <br /> Wetland Functional Assessment <br /> Carley Development <br /> Town of Burke, Dane County, WI <br /> 1. Project Description <br /> A. Location <br /> The proposed project is a commercial and light-industrial park development of a vacant <br /> 71.276-acre parcel in Section 19, T8N, R10E, Town of Burke, Dane County, Wisconsin. The <br /> eastern boundary of the site is adjacent to the northwest side of the Dane County Regional <br /> Airport, with the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul, and Pacific railroad right-of-way intervening. <br /> County Trunk Highway(CTH) CV(Packers Avenue) borders the site on the west and provides <br /> access via a short gravel driveway. <br /> The site has been used for several decades as a demolition waste landfill and to store heavy <br /> construction equipment and supplies. Much of the demolition waste covers former wetland areas. <br /> Land uses consist of gravel lots, oldfields, and oak and cottonwood forests. A total of 8.84 acres <br /> of the project is covered by wetlands consisting of wet forest (1.93 acres) and emergent wet <br /> meadows (6.91 acres). <br /> B. Purpose and Need <br /> The purpose of the project is to provide a variety of sizes of commercial lots for service and light- <br /> manufacturing businesses in the area. At least one of the larger parcels is intended to be used by <br /> the Carley family for expansion of their custom woodworking business, with the remainder of the <br /> lots sold to finance acquisition and development costs of the subdivision project. A significant <br /> part of the development costs will be the removal of demolition waste to allow development in <br /> uplands and improve wetland functions in certain areas (see Section 2A). <br /> The site was chosen by the Carley family for its market attributes and compatibility with existing <br /> land uses. Excellent vehicle access and commercial exposure is provided by its placement on <br /> CTH CV, with rapid access to both U.S. Highway 51 and Interstate 90/94. Sewer and utility <br /> services already exist along CTH CV and along the northern boundary of the site serving adjacent <br /> commercial properties. The proposed uses are consistent with local zoning, which allows for a <br /> mixture of commercial, light-industrial and residential uses. <br /> Essential to the purpose and need of the project is the ability to offer a variety of lot sizes and <br /> configurations relative to the degree of commercial exposure along CTH CV, and the possible <br /> Mead&Hunt <br /> C236A002\C236-97A\12-97 1 <br />
