• • Petition 5760 (continued) 2. This is technically not a strip development, since it is so far removed from other commercial development to the west along CTH-1D. It is premature or leapfrog development significantly separated from other development. This type of development can lead to extending the "strip" outward from its present location in the village. 3. This is not a compatible use, to place a major commercial use in an agricultural preservation area. 4. No public sewer or water service is available to this site, nor is there any planned. 5. This interchange is not planned for commercial development. The Village of Mt. Horeb recently revised their land use plan. That plan indicates that this area may be added to the urban service are in the longer range future. If and when it develops according to the village plan, the use proposed is residential not commercial. 6. Since commercial zoning at this site would conflict with all relevant plans, there does not appear to be any rationale to approve this proposal. SUPPLEMENTAL COMMENTS: Petition 5760. The discussion of this commercial proposal has focused on Mt. Horeb's Plan, which proposes that this area be residential as opposed to commercial. However, the town/county plan calls for such development to be in or adjacent to existing urbanized areas. As you can see from the attached 1990 aerial photo, there is approximately 1/2 mile between the urban service area and the site proposed for Petition #5760. The applicant's current location is directly north of the golf course on CTH ID. This proposal is not adjacent to an existing urbanized area. In fact, if the petition were for residential rezoning, it would be equally in conflict with plan policies. There is no plan for immediate urban development of this area. Until there is a plan for urban services for urban development here, there doesn't appear to be any justification for the rezoning. 2 •
