COMPOSITE REPORT - Page 2 APPLICATION NO. STAFF COMMENTS REGIONAL PLANNING Petition 6265 - CUP 1237. This commercial site proposed for higher intensity zoning is in the Commercial Urban Service Area of the Town of Vienna. Adopted town/county policies provide for planned sewered commercial development of the area, with emphasis on highway-oriented uses. The site was previously developed with a gas station and fast food restaurant which have been removed, leaving an undeveloped site. There is a gas station south of CTH V and a warehouse under construction to the west of CTH I. The request is to go from the C-1 District to the C-2 District for the purpose of overnight parking of semi- truck/trailers. A restaurant, motel, convenience store,fast food and gas sales are also proposed. This is a highway- oriented use,but could lead to high volumes of semi-truck traffic,plus automobiles. Due to the configuration of the interchange, a significant increase in traffic could lead to the need to rebuild and expand the bridge and ramps of the interchange. The site is also very visible from the Interstate, which raises an aesthetic concern for truck parking. The northern, triangular portion of the site is not in the urban service area. The site plan and traffic volume should be reviewed by the County Transportation staff, State Transportation staff, County Planning and Development staff and RPC staff. The consolidated staff comments should be reviewed and considered prior to any action on the rezoning. The rezoning should only be done on a conditional basis related to the site plan and other information considered. We note also that the Village of DeForest has taken action to enact extraterritorial zoning which raises jurisdictional questions. ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH (septic, etc.) No objection to this petition DANE COUNTY HIGHWAY CTH"V" is a controlled access highway. No access will be granted onto CTH"V". Accesses onto CTH"I"will have to meet the approval of the highway department. The interchange as well as the intersection of CTH"V"and CTH"1" will have to be improved to safely accommodate the increased traffic volume and truck movements. OTHER Corporation Counsel advised Planning&Development staff on 7 April that it appears this item is no longer within the County's jurisdiction.
