COMPOSITE REPORT - Page 3 Application No. 6698 requirements as the B-1 district. Screening would be required along the eastern edge of the 2.7 acre expansion area if rezoned to B-1. E. There are six standards for review of CUPs in Section 10.255(2)(h) of the zoning ordinance. Three standards particularly relevant to this proposal are as follows: • Uses, values and enjoyment other property in neighborhood for purposes already permitted shall be in no foreseeable manner impaired or diminished by establishment, maintenance, or operation of the conditional use. • Adequate measures have been or will be taken to provide ingress or egress so designed as to minimize traffic congestion in the public streets. • Adequate utilities, access roads, drainage and other necessary site improvements have been or are being made. F. The impacts of the proposed relocation of mobile homes are projected as follows: • Visual: The appearance of the new mobile homes would be an improvement over those in the existing park because(1) density would be lower, (2)landscaping would be required on each site, and (3) screening would be required along the east frontage of the expansion area. The preliminary plan shows six homes fronting onto Nygard Street. • Traffic: Traffic along Nygard Street would probably increase because homes would be moved closer to Nygard Road and the existing narrow, graveled access drive would be improved. This may provide an attractive route for traffic from the Park to downtown Madison, in particular. • Drainage: The slope of the proposed expansion area is significant. In addition,Nygard Street does not have curb, gutter, or storm sewer. As a result, Town engineering staff have some concerns over stormwater management and are currently studying this issue. • Other: Most other impacts on the surrounding neighborhood would be unchanged because there will be no net increase in number of homes. G. The Town Board and Town Planning Commission have not yet scheduled action on the rezoning and CUP requests. Town staff are reviewing further information from the applicant, primarily related to stormwater drainage and site planning. III. SUMMARY A. The main issues surrounding the proposed rezoning and CUP requests are that (1) B-1 zoning may not be the best district for the area(but it does offer screening provisions), and (2)there are outstanding drainage and site planning issues that the Town and applicant are working to resolve. B. Neither the rezone or CUP proposal are ready to be acted upon by the ZNR Committee. If the rezone is approved at a subsequent meeting, the ZNR Committee will then consider the CUP. In its review of the CUP, it will be appropriate for the ZNR Committee to consider specific conditions addressing such issues as site planning, landscaping, drainage, traffic, and use. The Town will likely make recommendations covering many of these issues.
