Board of Adjustment Minutes March 17,2016 1. Appeal 3673. Appeal by Town of Dunn for a variance from minimum required setback to a Class C Highway as provided by Section 10.17(3) (b), Dane County Code of Ordinances, to permit proposed salt storage building at 4156 County Highway B being in the SE '/4 of the NW IA, Section 21, Town of Dunn. VARIANCES REQUESTED: 21.8 feet from required setback. Assistant Zoning Administrator(AZA)Hilbert presented a Staff Report reporting facts of the case. IN FAVOR: Ben Kollenbroich, Town of Dunn, spoke in favor of the variance request. ZONING ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS: Hilbert relayed that the Zoning Administrator stated he had no objection to the request. A structure with the purpose of housing equipment for the maintenance of town highways seemed to be the best type of structure to encroach into the required highway setback. Moreover, the building location would provide screening for the storage of items in the northeast corner of the property. OPPOSED: (None. The Chair stated no rebuttal was needed.] Pulvermacher/Studz to grant the requested variance of 21.8 feet to permit the development and accept the site plan as presented noting that the existing salt sheds are also within the highway right-of-way and along the same line of relief being granted. Finding of Fact: Existing: • Property is currently used for the government uses of the Town of Dunn including the town hall, town garage, and various storage related to town operations. Proposed • The Town proposes remove two existing structures and construct a new shed for the purposes of storage. Zoning Notes: • The existing structures to be removed are currently located within the required setback from the Class C Highway. The proposal is a permitted use within the existing conditional use permit. History • 1996 Zoning Permit for ADA access to Town Hall issued. • 1998 Zoning Permit for highway garage issued. • 2005 Zoning Permit for salt shed issued. • 2011 Rezone(6737)and CUP(1378)to allow for governmental uses (communications tower)granted. • Violation History:None. COMMUNICATIONS: Town of Dunn:2/8/2016 Application. 2/15/2016 Town Board Action recommending approval. Conclusions: 1) Unnecessary Hardship: It would be unnecessarily burdensome to not allow the Town of Dunn the continued use of their property and replace a deteriorating building which has been in use since the 1930's and has been in existence prior to the requirements of Dane County Zoning regulations.
