STAFF COMMENTS COMPOSITE REPORT - Page 2 APPLICATION NO. 6688 STAFF COMMENTS REGIONAL PLANNING Revised Comments: Petition 6688. This proposed industrial rezoning is partially in the Burke Limited Service Area (LSA), while the western end is not in the LSA. The LSA was originally delineated and adopted to accommodate a special situation (three truck stops near Token Creek at Hwy. 51 and I-90/94) where the provision of public sewer was the only reasonable solution to solving the problem situation. "In these instances, it is not intended that a full range of services be provided, nor that additional urban development be encouraged." (Regional Development Guide, p.41) This entire property (area of Petition 6688) was included in the Burke LSA as originally delineated and adopted. However, the western triangular shaped end of the parcel (approximately 8 acres) was removed from the LSA in 1986 to accommodate other expansions requested by the Town of Burke (see attached map). Burke has been working toward having this area designated an urban service area; however, the draft plan to date does not meet the criteria for such an amendment. Thus, the eastern portion of the proposed rezoning is within the LSA and the western portion is not. Since this is a limited service area, planned for commercial use, the M-1 industrial zoning appears to be too intensive to be considered consistent. If there are some commercial uses which need some specific M-1 use, this could be done with a conditional rezoning. The applicant has indicated a willingness to have conditions on the rezoning. In addition, the applicant proposes to use the area outside the LSA for uses not requiring services, such as parking lots, green space and signage. If this area is rezoned to M-1, these specific conditions should be required. ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH (septic, etc.) None. DANE COUNTY HIGHWAY None.
