COMPOSITE REPORT- Page 2 Application No.6636/CUP 1344 STAFF COMMENTS BACKGROUND A. This is an existing shooting range in the Town of Mazomanie covering 7.8 acres. The owner is requesting a rezone from A-lex to RE-1 and CUP for recreational facilities lighted at night, sale of alcoholic beverages by the drink, skeet, trap rifle and pistol ranges and private hunting and shooting preserves. B. Agricultural lands or open space surround the site. Houses are on most of the lots north of the property, near the Wisconsin River. C. If this rezoning is approved, the applicant will have to receive a conditional use permit for the use. II. ANALYSIS A. Environmental Health staff have no objections. The site is in a floodplain and wetland overlay zone. Lead does not seem to be a problem in soil other then silica or sugar sand. B. The County Highway Department does not find problems to the rezoning. CTH "Y" is not a controlled access highway. This parcel has an existing access to a sportsman's club. C. The present use is not allowed in A-lex. D. The proposed use is consistent with RE-1 and with the conditional uses permitted in the RE-1 (b, d, e and 0. E. By rezoning to RE-1, land is converted from A-lex. However, being an existing use, land is not taken from agriculture. It would not be permissible to asphalt the parking area or build on the wetland which the applicant is not proposing to do. F. RPC staff recommends setting conditions similar to those imposed on other ranges, in terms of times for shooting, fencing, warning signs, site plans, limits on types of weapons and safety devices (see attachment). G. The Town Board acted on this petition on July 9, but information on their action was not available at the time of this writing. It will be made available to the committee at the hearing.
