COMPOSITE REPORT - Page 2 APPLICATION NO. at P //46 STAFF COMMENTS REGIONAL PLANNING CUP 1166. This proposed tavern and volleyball courts raise some significant concerns since the application information also indicates dancing, and extensive banquet facilities are also proposed. The site is zone C-2 with a large automobile dealership to the south, a residence and nursery to the north, and primarily undeveloped land to the east and west. The area to the east is within the Stoughton urban service area and planned for highway commercial development. While this area is zoned commercial, the uses proposed require a conditional use permit and the relevant policy for such deliberation is: 3. To limit any non-agricultural commercial or recreational use to small, rural-oriented businesses which provide services needed by residents of the town. Such uses must meet the following criteria prior to zoning approval. - Be consistent with agricultural policies for farmland preservation. - Have access to a state or county highway. - Shall not adversely affect the traffic capacity and safety of the highway. - Provide a buffer between the commercial use and any adjacent non- commercial use. - Not endanger the environment of the area. - Require a septic tank no larger than 1,450 gallons. The size of the septic tank system may be limited to a lesser amount at the Town Boar's direction. Staff Comments: • This is not a small, rural-oriented business, but a large tavern and banquet facility. • Since the site is zoned commercial, farmland policies are not involved. • Access is from a frontage road which connects to USH 51 to the south. • Due to the magnitude of the facility proposed and potential surges of traffic, there is a concern for traffic safety. • There is a residence to the north. The car dealership to the south was there prior to plan adoption, and expansion did not require a conditional use permit. • With extensive building and parking areas, there needs to be a review of potential erosion and stormwater runoff. • The limit on the septic system was intended to limit facilities to those generally found in a single-family home. This proposed facility could require a system three to four times this large. This is the type of facility which should be served by public sewer. Public sewer is being extended from east to west to Hwy. 51 in the Stoughton Urban Service Area. This proposed facility should either be built in the urban service area, or this area should be added to the urban service area and public sewer extended prior to construction.
