DANE COUNTY ZONING AND NATURAL RESOURCES COMMITTEE <br /> OCTOBER 21, 1997 <br /> SUPPORT PETITION B95B, ROBERT JOHNSON, <br /> FOR AREA ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT <br /> 1. The proposal adds twelve and one-half (12.5) acres of C-1 Zoning to <br /> an existing C-1 zone, allowing a viable commercial operation to be <br /> located on the Johnson property. <br /> 2. The proposal would allow for creative reuse of a "rural Brownfield" <br /> remaining after a tragic fire. <br /> 3. The owner's plans will compliment and augment the Cambridge area <br /> retail economy. <br /> 4. The proposed development will create an aesthetically pleasing <br /> balance to the automobile salvage yard across Highway 18. It will <br /> be a much better gateway to the Cambridge area than the salvage <br /> yard. <br /> 5. The development proposes an appropriately rural atmosphere <br /> which will blend in well with the countryside. It is consistent with <br /> the approved Town plan and has strong support from the Town. <br /> 6. The development will not convert productive farm land, but will <br /> allow productive use of a former farmstead that economics <br /> dictate will not remain a farm home. <br /> 7. The owner is willing to agree to reasonable covenants to narrow <br /> the focus of the C-1 zone appropriately. <br />
