SCHMITT, 6208 TOWN HALL ROAD, TOWN OF SUN PRAIRIE Dear Mr. Gunderman: The above referenced rezoning application scheduled for public hearing by the Dane County Zoning and Natural Resources Committee on April 13, 1993, seeks to rezone approximately 5.03 acres from County A-1 - Exclusive Agriculture dis- trict to County LC-1 - Limited Commercial district to legalize a building contractor business on the east side of Town Hall Drive, south of Schuster Drive extended. The proposed rezoning is adjacent to the corporate limits of the City of Sun Prairie across Town Hall Drive and is within the City of Sun Prairie Urban Service Area. The City of Sun Prairie is strongly opposed this request based on the follow- ing concerns: 1. This request is located within the City of Sun Prairie Urban Service Area and is identified on the Preferred Future Land Use Map of the City's Com- prehensive Plan as RL - Light Residential (see attached Exhibit A) . Approval of this request would not be in conformance with the City's Com- prehensive Plan and would set a precedent for commercial zoning along Town Hall Drive which would undermine the desire for residential land uses in the area and hence the future implementation of the plan. 2. Approved single-family lots are currently developing along the west side of Town Hall Drive within the City of Sun Prairie. Approval of commercial zoning on the subject property is incompatible with this developing resi- dential area (see attached Exhibit B) . 3. Town Hall Drive is designated by the City of Sun Prairie Official Map as a major collector roadway with a future 100 foot right-of-way. Commercial development of the subject property and the future commercial requests it would inspire would jeopardize the carrying capacity of this roadway in- tended to serve residential uses in the area (see attached Exhibit C) . 4. The subject property is located within an area designated as a Rural Development Area on the City of Sun Prairie's ETJ Policy Map. The pro- posed rezoning is not consistent with this document in that it seeks commercial use of the subject property. The Rural Development Areas are so established to preserve agricultural lands and to plan for the timing
