3. Area III 2nd phase of Map: (pink, right middle) . No CUP <br /> approval due to location of the Dane County Park and <br /> impact on the citizens in the Town of Christiana, Village <br /> of Rockdale and Village of Cambridge. <br /> 4. Area IV 3rd phase of Map: (blue) CUP approved area <br /> subject to conditions. This area is approved due to the <br /> site adjoining quarry. <br /> COMMENT: <br /> The application requested a conditional use permit for 190 <br /> acres of land located in Sections 14 and 23 of the Town of <br /> Christiana. The Town Board has recommended modifying the <br /> conditional use permits application to approximately 85 acres. The <br /> applicant objects to this modification of the Town Board's <br /> recommendation on the following grounds: <br /> 1. The lime stone mineral deposit is valuable, needs to be <br /> utilized and needs to be protected so that it can be <br /> quarried in its entirety. The applicant's proposal for <br /> a conditional use permit is part of good long range <br /> governmental planning to ensure accessibility to a <br /> valuable mineral resource for the next twenty to thirty <br /> year period. <br /> 2. The Town Board's proposals appear to be based on some <br /> unstated impact on the Dane County Park and the citizens <br /> in the Town of Christiana, Village of Rockdale and <br /> Village of Cambridge. No such impact has occurred with <br /> existing quarries in the area and quarrying in these <br /> areas would not have any impact on the citizens of the <br /> Town of Christiana, Village of Rockdale and Village of <br /> Cambridge. <br /> 3. This property is located in remote farm land. There are <br /> only two houses in the area. The applicant has proposed <br /> relief for property owners affected by this quarrying <br /> project who live in the area if they feel they are <br /> adversely affected by the quarrying activity. <br /> 4 . The Town Board is also concerned about the effect on the <br /> Dane County park. Activities in the Dane County Park <br /> will not be affected by the quarrying activity because <br /> the Dane County Park (Camrock Park) comes into contact <br /> with the quarrying project on an extremely limited basis <br /> and the area of the park used by the public is not close <br /> 2 <br />
