DANE COUNTY <br /> Zoning and Natural Resources Committee <br /> REVISED RPC STAFF COMMENTS 10/26/92 <br /> CUP 1026. This proposed quarry expansion is extending the existing quarry on <br /> the A-2 parcel . The applicant proposes to change the access from Easy Street <br /> to Schumacher Road. <br /> There is a potential use conflict with the home on the RH-2 parcel to the <br /> southeast , and a home on the next lot south of that . <br /> In addition, the proposed CUP site is adjacent to the Waunakee urban service <br /> area where the village is planning for residential development (see attached <br /> aerial photo and Urban Service Area Map) . <br /> As you can see from the 1987 aerial photo, development within the urban <br /> service area was over one-fourth mile away. However , development has now <br /> begun less than one-fourth mile to the west of the site and there are plans <br /> for residential development of the whole "forty" within the next few years. <br /> This appears to be a major land use conflict--expansion of a quarry site next <br /> to a planned residential area. Since development within Waunakee Is <br /> proceeding prom west to east toward the CUP site, there may be a compromise <br /> position if the CUP site was reduced and a specific time limit was set for the <br /> operation, such as four years as suggested by the town. This would allow a <br /> complete public review at that time to determine whether to close the quarry <br /> or extend the time period again. Another useful condition, if this request is <br /> granted, is to provide specific blasting limits and notification of neighbors <br /> in advance of blast times and dates. <br />
