COMPOSITE REPORT - Page 2 APPLICATION NO. 6107 STAFF COMMENTS REGIONAL PLANNING Petition 6307. This proposed bakery and residential complex raises policy concerns in this agricultural preservation area of the Town of Vermont. The relevant policy for this area is: "Non-agricultural commercial uses will be limited to small contractors, vehicle storage and limited outside storage of materials such as provided in the 'Limited Commercial Zoning District.'Specific criteria for rezoning are: • Minimal or no conflict with neighbors. • No septic tank will be required to serve the use. • Service offered is one generally needed in the town. • No tillable land and minimum land area to accommodate the use." Comments related to the proposal: The bakery proposal is much more intensive than the uses contemplated by this policy. The proposal also includes residential facilities for workers to live on-site. - This is a very rural area approximately 3/4 mile form the Iowa County border. The traffic in and out of the site would be of more concern than the site itself. - An extra large septic tank-soil absorption system will be needed to accommodate the bakery use,plus the residential facilities. The products will be trucked out, with no retail sales proposed. This reduces the traffic concern, but does not meet the criteria of serving the local people. If the site is rationalized for C-1 commercial zoning,it should be conditionally rezoned for only this use, since virtually any other C-1 use permitted would be incompatible at this site. ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH (septic, etc.) The existing private sewage system would not be adequate to serve the proposed bakery business. Our file indicates that a soil evaluation has been conducted to identify an area for the private sewage system to serve the proposed business. DANE COUNTY HIGHWAY None OTHER None
