SEP 12 '95 15:32 TOWN C- SUN F'FHIFIE , F'. {Town of Sun Prairie 5556 Twin Lam.mad r; 9vlarshall., �'�r 5 559 f:G.'.. 4F:,rvu:r (ON$37.668u° G'cr;uu r:i. c,,:iprrUi.wr c.far wick Cieri� 74.:.' 1ado■4C'ur,TrRL'ur.r September 18, 1995 Dane County Zoning and Natural Resource Committee: The purpose of this letter is to further explain the reasons for the approval of Petition 4 6253 by the Town Board of the Town of Sun Prairie, The Board held a public hearing and numerous meeting on this petition. The points of consideration were: 1. The building on the site for which the rezoning is being sought is an existing Nurucwre which was in agicuitural use from 1987 to 1991. The building has been virtually empty since 1991 The current owner piirchaed the parcel during 1994, Early in 1995 Mi.. Stauffacher was cited for non-compliance in the A 1 Exclusive Asriculturel District. The structure was being used for activity which required a C-I zoning. 2- Application was made by the petitioner to rezone to C-1. Town Board held a public hearing on April 10, 1995, County Public Hearing was on April 11, 1995, The Town Board considered this petition,it's impact;the comments of the public and merits of the request at many Board meetings from April through August. 3. The Board recognized that the zoning change offered the opportunity for several issues to be addressed through the Developers Agreement. The developers agreement specifically covers road improvement to the Town Read and to the access area to C'1'II N. if the property were to be used for storage of agricultural products it is likely that heavier truck traffic would occur,the same safety issues would be of concern, but could not be as easily addressed,because Town Board and County approval may not be required. (Please refer to Developers Agreement supplied earlier.) 4. The building is existing. It is a very large structure with many tnns of concrete and cement block. The structure could be destroyed and landfilled. But in the Board's opinion this would he an unnecessary and unwise use of landfill space. The owner currently has two businesses which he owns occupying the structure. These appear to be relatively low impact businesses. Since the building can be used for financial gain, the owner will have the incentive.to repair and maintain the structure. The reverse would be litre for the structure if it were left empty,it would be allowed to deteriorate.
