CUP 1265 (cont) c. This proposal may have a major impact on the development of neighboring property. The area to the east is designated as a Rural Development Area on the town plan map. Plan policy would allow this area to develop with two acre lots;however,there is another mineral extraction policy on page 31: 8. To limit development in and around mineral protection/extraction areas to insure access for future use. The following policies apply to the Mineral Protection Extraction Area delineated on the Land Use Plan Map: a) Residential uses will be limited to any existing houses; any new house must be primarily for an owner/operator who has a need to live on-site. b) Non-owner residential uses may be considered if the site is sufficiently separated from current and potential extraction areas to prevent future conflicts. These residential sites must meet the policy criteria of the Agriculture Category. If such residential parcels are approved, a warning will be placed on the deed noting future mineral extraction activity. c) The only commercial or industrial uses allowed will be those directly related to the mineral resource use such as redi-mix concrete and hot mix paving plants. It is unclear how far limiting development"in and around mineral protection/extraction areas" is supposed to extend. If it extends to this land to the east, then it may be 30 years (projected life of the quarry)before additional residential development is allowed. There needs to be some understanding of how policies#8 and#9 interact before this project is approved. We note the Oregon Urban Service Area is immediately north of the proposed site;however, the long-range plan does not propose further extension to the south. d. The application indicates a paved access road to Union Road and routing of truck traffic south to CTH A. The County Highway and Transportation staff will need to evaluate the impact of truck traffic and turning movements on CTH A. The site plan indicates provision for drainage during and after extraction. The site plan also indicates restoration of the site to agricultural use after the mineral is extracted(approximately 30 years). e. By routing trucks to the south on Union Road, it avoids travel through residential areas;however, it tends to concentrate all of the truck traffic in this one-half mile part of Union Road. f The site plan proposes phasing the project, working from south to north. The restoration plan indicates Phase 1 will be restored to agricultural use as Phase 2 is begun, with the entire site reclaimed to agricultural use after the proposed 30-year life of the quarry operation. ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH (septic, etc.) None. DANE COUNTY HIGHWAY Not directly adjacent to CTH"A"or CTH"MM"by joint permit with existing field entrance contingent on approval of CSM and Zoning. OTHER None.
