BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT Dec. 20, 1974 Page 2 #329. Appeal by James E. Watts for a Special Exception Permit to construct Ar a filled pathway, bridge, drainage ditches and ponds adjacent to and over the Sugar River in the SE% NE 1-4- of Section 2, Township of Springdale. IN FAVOR: J. Watts; purpose is to provide a safe horse and snowmobile trail across the area and the Sugar River. Present crossing is over the C.T.H. "J" bridge which necessitates travel for approximately two blocks on bare pavement and is not safe from traffic. DNR, Gary Burdick has looke4 at the area and has made recommendations. Filled path to the North will divert drainage water somewhat but will not obstruct the flow which is primarily Southward to the river. CTH "J" roadbed is high and forms a dam which forces all water to flow under its bridge. Trail to South of the river will be maintained at ground level so as not to impede water flow. Ponds are proposed in natural low areas and will be 6-8 feet in depth. Ditches will be at approximate river level and will, hopefully, drain and dry the area better. All areas will be sloped and seeded to prevent erosion New vegetation (Honey Suckle) will be planted at stratigic locations on river to prevent washing and erosion. The area is proposed as a fishing and recreational area. OTHERS IN FAVOR: none. OPPOSED: none. TOWN BOARD: not present. COMMUNICATION: letter from John J. Silbernagel, owner of property to the north of area in question, requested that the Board carefully consider the flood plain, drainage, etc., which could affect his cropland. #330. Appeal by Millard Erickson for a variance from setback requirements as provided by Section 10.17(2) of the Dane County Zoning Ordinance. Variance is necessary to premit remodeling/repair and an addition to a residence located in the SE4 SE 4 of Section 18, Township of Windsor. IN FAVOR: M. Erickson; purpose is to provide an attached garage to a non- conforming residence and to do some interior remodeling. Garage has to be 28 feet wide because entry to basement is on the outside and will take up part of the garage. It is proposed tha t a laundry room will also be lo- cated in part of the addition.
