Zoning Change Application--Summary PARCEL#:058/0811-074-9500-0 ACREAGE:17.0 ZONING: A-2 OVERVIEW My wife and I are looking to purchase the property listed above. The primary use for the property will be a banquet hall,creating an agricultural tourism type business in rural Dane County. We made an offer on this property contingent on Town and County approval of this zoning change. Once we have approval we will be hiring an architect,general contractor,civil engineer,and structural engineer to manage this project. These licensed professionals will help ensure that all state building codes and regulations will be met and followed at all times during and after construction.

We expect the majority of events will be held Friday and Saturday nights May thru October. We expect that events will run 4pm to 11:30pm. Our capacity will be between 250-300 guests. Our main barn will be fully framed and insulated,limiting noise. All activities will be held in-doors. There will be no outdoor speakers or music. • DRIVEWAY:This property is located on a City of Sun Prairie road. I met with members of the city planning commission and they would like the driveway situated to the very southeast corner of this parcel. • PARKING:The parking lot will be located on the south end of the property. The lot will hold a maximum of 125 cars. • STORAGE:We will have ample storage within our buildings.

Much like you would find at a local church. There will NOT be a commercial kitchen on this property. All events will be catered;all food will be prepared off-site. • TRASH REMOVAL:We will have a fenced in trash enclosure. Trash pick-up will be every Monday or Tuesday. • SIGNAGE:We would like to have one small sign set right at the entrance to the property. The sign would be roughly 6x8 feet,and would be set 2 feet off the ground. The sign would contain our farm's name,The Fields Reserve. • BEVERAGE SERVICE:We plan to offer full beverage service;beer,wine,and liquor. • SEPTIC AND WELL:We plan to have a well and septic mound system.
