Grounds for Objection 1. F. H. Raemisch and Sons, Inc. has specifically waived all rights to conduct mineral excavation activities on the proposed C.U.P. site and has further specifically waived the right to make the application it is currently making. The agreement entered into between F. H. Raemisch and Sons, Inc., by Franklin H. Raemisch, and the Village of Waunakee dated May 24, 1994 and incorporated into Dane County Conditional Use Permit #1133-C specifically states: After expiration of Conditional Use Permit (No. 1133), no blasting, mining or excavation shall be permitted in any portion of the area marked as "Endres or Ripp Expansions" on Exhibit A attached hereto. On or after the date hereof, the Operator shall not apply for any extensions of existing quarry operations on the Endres or Ripp Expansions as shown on exhibit A. (emphasis added) Exhibit A is a map, a copy of which is attached, which shows that the Ripp Expansion is the same approximate 200 foot strip described in the written statement of Franklin H. Raemisch which has been filed with C.U.P. application #1447. The current owners of homes in the subdivision have relied to their detriment on the above promise by purchasing and building homes in Waunakee Heights with the understanding that the existing quarry operation will not be expanded onto adjacent lands as is now being proposed. 2. The application is insufficient under ordinance #10.191 as it does not contain a specific time schedule, a specific site plan or a topographic reclamation plan. All references are vague, open-ended and inexact. 3. The proposed mineral extraction cannot satisfy the requirements of 10.38 (h) as mineral extraction by blasting will without doubt be detrimental to the safety and comfort of the residents of Waunakee Heights and opening of the land diminish the value and existing use of the current residents' property. Furthermore, it is highly likely that the proposed conditional use will impede the further development of the subdivision and that it may detrimentally effect drainage and exisiting site improvements in the subdivision.
