COMPOSITE REPORT - Page 3 CUP No. 1402 C. The applicant has also submitted a proposed grading plan and landscape plan(not attached). The grading plan will likely form the basis for a County erosion control permit for which the applicant must apply. The landscape plan shows various trees and prairie plantings throughout the site. Again, the City approved both plans as part of its conditional use permit process. D. City approvals and agreements between the City and School District provide for numerous public improvements for streets, traffic signals, sanitary sewers, water mains, and stormwater management. The applicant's agent has indicated the District's intention to develop the property according to past approvals. E. Because the subject property is presently within the County's jurisdiction, the ZNR Committee must review the proposed development against the standards for review of conditional use permits in the Dane County Zoning Ordinance. Standards particularly applicable to this proposal are summarized as follows, and addressed in sections F, G, and H below: • Uses, values and enjoyment of other property in the neighborhood will not be substantially impaired or diminished, and establishment of the conditional use will not impede orderly development of surrounding properties. • Adequate utilities, access roads, drainage and other necessary site improvements will be made. • Adequate measures will be taken to provide ingress and egress in order to minimize traffic congestion in the public streets. F. The planned development of a middle school represents orderly, contiguous urban growth consistent with existing and planned uses in the area. Lands east of Thompson Road are developed with residential uses in the City. Whether in the Town or City, surrounding properties to the south and west will likely develop with residential uses. City plans show properties along STH 19 as appropriate for suburban office development. G. The site plan incorporates recommendations from a July 1996 Mead and Hunt traffic study to provide appropriate transportation access through roads, driveways, and an internal circulation and parking pattern. The study recommended the extension of Montana Avenue for both bus and employee vehicle access. Because both Thompson Road and the planned extension of Montana Avenue are presently in the Town, the Town has authority to approve access/driveway permits. Ideally, such permits should be issued consistent with the access points shown on the site plan. The site plan also includes provisions for on- site drainage through a detention pond. H. The applicant intends that the proposed use be served by public sanitary sewer and water systems. Staff agrees that such public services would be desirable for the following reasons: • The subject property is within an urban service area. • Public sewer and water services already serve adjacent developed properties, and can be extended to the subject property in a cost-effective manner.
