Smiley, Director <br /> Community and Regional Development Planning <br /> DATE: July 21, 1995 <br /> RE: Conditional Use Permit #1262 - Christiana <br /> At the public hearing, there was a discussion of the agricultural capability of the soils on this <br /> parcel. Staff statements on soil productivity were taken directly from the application as <br /> submitted by Mr. Lien: "Percent of Land had soils in Classes I-II: 100%;" and from the <br /> general soils map which indicates the entire site is "Prime Farmland" as defined by the U.S. <br /> Dept. of Agriculture. <br /> To be sure, we checked the Soil Survey of Dane County (1978) and reviewed all of the soil <br /> mapping units on the 190-acre parcel. These eight different soils are all in Capability Unit II, <br /> on a scale of I through VIII. <br /> We note that the existing quarry to the west is in Rockton silt loam (RoB), which has a depth <br /> to bedrock of 2 to 4 feet. <br /> This same soil covers most of the area south of Koshkonong Road, within CUP #1262. There <br /> is also a significant area of this soil north of Koshkonong Road. <br /> All of the other soils indicate a depth to bedrock of 5 to 10 or over 10 feet (see attached list <br /> and map). <br /> TLS:lel <br /> cc: Gary Gunderman <br /> Jim Gregorious <br /> Stan Lien <br /> RPC <br />
