There are single family homes on virtually all of the lots shown on the map(6 in the immediate vicinity,plus the large subdivision less than 1/4 mile to the north). The recently adopted town/county plan for the Town of Cottage Grove recognizes such rural businesses, and the fact that they can create certain negative impacts for neighboring uses. To address these impacts the plan requires: A site plan shall be prepared and submitted to the Town Plan Committee for approval before a rural business can be established or expanded. The purpose of the site plan is to determine the type and scope of impacts the business will produce. The site plan shall include the following information: a.

A plan for storage and/or disposal of solid waste and hazardous materials used in the operation shall be submitted to the Town. The site plan should also identify any noise or odors produced by the business and perceptible at the boundaries of the property. d.
