COMPOSITE REPORT-Page 6 Application No. CUP 1418 III. SUMMARY A. The main issues surrounding this proposed CUP relate to its potential impacts on surrounding residential properties and other uses,the roadway network, and water quality in the adjacent Crystal Lake and a small pond. If it were proposal for an entirely new site, it would clearly be inappropriate for the area given the surrounding natural features, residential development, and recreational uses. The proposal,however, is for an expansion to an existing, exposed non-conforming extraction site which is visually unappealing and presents potential runoff and safety hazards. If the expansion closely follows controls suggested through the conditions of approval, and if both the CUP area and non-conforming site are properly reclaimed in a timely manner,the proposal may ultimately result in reduced environmental and safety risks and improved neighborhood conditions. B. If the ZNR Committee approves this request, it may wish to consider the following conditions: 1. The applicant shall submit an erosion control plan covering the entire CUP site and the entire area of the existing non-conforming extraction site, and receive approval of an erosion control permit prior to beginning extraction in the CUP site. 2. The applicant shall apply for and receive a special exception permit for all lands proposed for excavation that are within 300 feet of Crystal Lake or the pond to the southeast of the CUP site prior to beginning extraction in such areas. 3. The applicant shall apply for an receive all other required local, state, and federal permits. 4. The operator shall, at his expense,have a qualified professional complete an archaeological survey of the CUP site and submit the results of that survey to the Town Clerk and County Zoning Division prior to beginning extraction on the CUP site. The operator shall also, at his expense,have periodic archaeological inspections performed during removal of top soil layers. The operator shall avoid disturbing any protected archaeological sites. 5. Reclamation of both the CUP site and the existing non-conforming extraction site shall be completed within three and one-half years from the date of CUP approval. Reclamation shall follow the applicant's reclamation plan dated 1/5/98, except that the operator shall as part of reclamation provide a suitable base for the relocation of Mussen Road or raise the road bed of existing Mussen Road only if so directed by the Town Board. 6. Gravel extraction and crushing shall be allowed only during the first two years after the date of CUP approval, with removal of gravel from the site and reclamation allowed during the final year and one-half. 7. The operator shall post and maintain at all times a bond or irrevocable letter of credit in favor of the Town of Roxbury and Dane County in the amount of$10,000 to ensure compliance with the reclamation plan.
