• 58 7o <br /> Petition 5870 (cont) <br /> 4. To require commercial development to be served by public sewer except for highway <br /> service centers. <br /> 5. To control commercial development at existing and future highway interchanges, to <br /> promote compact, convenient highway-oriented facilities. <br /> 6. To zone only that portion of land necessary for the contemplated use when rezoning is <br /> requested. <br /> Comments: <br /> 1. This is a major commercial development, and it is not in or adjacent to the existing <br /> urbanized area. <br /> As you can see from the attached 1990 aerial photo, there is approximately 1/2 mile <br /> between the urban service area and the site proposed for Petition 5870. The applicant's <br /> current location is directly north of the golf course on CTH ID. <br /> This proposal is not adjacent to an existing urbanized area. In fact, if the petition were for <br /> residential rezoning, it would be equally in conflict with plan policies. <br /> There is no plan for immediate urban development of this area. until there is a plan for <br /> urban services for urban development here, there doesn't appear to be any justification for <br /> the rezoning. <br /> 2. This is technically not a strip development, since it is so far removed from other <br /> commercial development to the west along CTH ID. <br /> It is premature or leapfrog development significantly separated from other development. <br /> this type of development can lead to extending the "strip" outward from its present location <br /> in the village. <br /> 3. This is not a compatible use to place a major commercial use in an agricultural <br /> preservation area. <br /> 4. No public sewer or water service is available to this site, nor is there any planned. <br /> 5. This interchange is not planned for commercial development. <br /> The Village of Mt. Horeb recently revised their land use plan. That plan indicates that this <br /> area may be added to the urban service area in the longer range future. If and when it <br /> develops according to the village plan, the use proposed is residential, not commercial. <br /> 6. Since commercial zoning at this site would conflict with all relevant plans, there does not <br /> appear to be any rationale to approve this proposal. <br /> 7. Since the major policy issues relate to the location of this site 1/2 mile outside the urban <br /> service area, the addition of 0.368 acres of green space to the proposed site plan has no <br /> real bearing on policy issues. <br />
