INFORMATION REQUIRED FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT MIDDLETON-CROSS PLAINS AREA SCHOOL DISTRICT - SCHOOL SITE LEGAL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY: The Southeast 1/4 of the Northeast 1/4 of Section 6, Township 7 North, Range 8 East, in the Town of Middleton, Dane County, Wisconsin. TAX PARCEL NUMBER: 19-0708-061-9500-4 PROPOSED USE OF THE PROPERTY: An elementary school and related infrastructure such as playgrounds, recreational/athletic fields, and parking would be constructed on this site. A copy of the educational specifications for this proposed school is enclosed with this application. TIME SCHEDULE FOR DEVELOPMENT: The timetable for development has not been determined by the Middleton-Cross Plains Area School District Board of Education as of this time. The project would begin following successful passage of a potential referendum to be held early in 1993. Construction would probably begin shortly thereafter. REASON WHY THE PROPERTY IS SUITABLE FOR THE PROPOSED USE: In May 1991, the Board of Education authorized a study of available sites suitable for a new elementary school in an area north of Airport Road, south of County Trunk K, and west of Highway 12. The sites identified in the study were evaluated using criteria such as availability, size and shape,topography,soils and drainage, septic system capability, accessibility of other utilities, vehicular access, pedestrian access, zoning and other regulatory constraints,surrounding uses,residential growth,and compatibility with the proposed Morey Airport expansion. This site was ranked as the most favorable when taking into consideration all of the evaluation criteria. Demographics: The site is located in the vicinity of several rural subdivisions such as Enchanted Valley, Hickory Woods, Delwood Hills, and Scenic Ridge. A school located on this site would provide needed relief for several of our other elementary attendance areas. The concentration of students in the near vicinity of the site also results in transportation efficiencies. Physical Characteristics: The site was evaluated by Ayres Associates for septic system suitability. Ayres reported that soils on the site are suitable for several types of wastewater infiltration systems. The site was also evaluated for building suitability by Soils & Engineering. They reported good soil conditions for construction purposes. The site is moderately sloped resulting in excellent drainage. The site has the potential for access from several directions.
