*COMPOSITE REPORT-Page 3 Application No. 6913 The current C-2 zoned property on which the majority of the business will continue to be located does not have any limit on hours of operation. Based on these factors, staff is no longer suggesting a limit. D. Staff continues to believe that the range of commercial and industrial uses which would be permitted under C-2 are too intensive for this area. Lands to the north are being planned and rapidly developed with urban residential uses. Further, local and regional plans identify this area as important for open space preservation and community separation. The County and Town may wish to consider limiting the approval of C-2 zoning to only those uses proposed. E. On July 8, the Town Board unanimously approved the rezoning with no conditions. III. SUMMARY A. The applicant has submitted a landscape plan to address staff concerns over landscaping/screening. Over time, this landscaping will buffer the use from neighboring properties and support regional community separation goals. While expansion of the applicant's business may be acceptable in this area, the C-2 district permits a range of other inappropriate uses given planned future residential development in this area. B. If the County and Town wish to approve this request, they may want to consider approval with the following conditions: 1. Use of the property shall be limited to a landscaping and snow removal business. 2. Landscape plantings and berming shall be installed by May 31, 1998 and maintained thereafter according to the 6/18/97 landscape plan. The berm shall be seeded, and may have to be higher than eight feet at certain points if necessary to block the view of the buildings and graveled parking area from USH 151. The"burn pad and storage bunker" shall be screened according to DNR regulations.
