• Y , COMPOSITE REPORT - Page 3 Application No. 6688 such as those proposed by the applicant, but excludes (or requires CUPs for) more noxious industrial uses. D. New development is generally not encouraged in Limited Service Areas. However, the boundaries of the Burke Limited Service Area were originally delineated to include the undeveloped subject property. The applicant would have to receive RPC approval of a Service Area expansion if sewer and water service is required for that portion of the subject property currently not within the Limited Service Area. E. The Token Creek Watershed, which includes the subject property, is an extremely important provider of base flows to the Yahara chain of lakes. Urban development may reduce groundwater levels, which supply this base flow, because of pumping for public water systems and more impervious surfaces. RPC staff are in the process of studying the impact on base flows of urban development planned for the Burke area. F. After a favorable recommendation from the Town Plan Commission, the Burke Town Board unanimously approved this rezoning at its July 17 meeting with a recommendation that a deed restriction be required to prevent use for a slaughter house or meat processing plant. III. SUMMARY A. The subject property is adjacent to a developed area where sewer and water services are available, except for those portions outside the Burke Limited Service Area. The proposed uses appear generally compatible with the character of the area and the Town Land Use Plan. However, the proposed M-1 zoning allows more intensive uses which may not be compatible with the area or the plan. B. If this rezoning proposal is approved, the ZNR Committee and County Board may wish to require a deed restriction preventing slaughter houses and meat processing plants, as per the Town Board's recommendation, and perhaps other intensive M-1 uses. As recommended in the attached RPC staff comments, the Committee and Board may also wish to consider restricting the types of uses allowed in the portion of the property outside the Limited Service Area until such time as it is included within a Limted or Urban Service Area.
