ADDENDUM A—CUP#2338 (OLD CUP#1721 OUTLINED ON PAGE ONE) 1. The proposed extension into the approximately 20 acre triangular parcel North of the existing open pit SHOULD NOT be granted for the enumerated reasons in this Objection. There is no need for expansion into the triangle. This should be the "buffer area", approximately 600 feet to the closest residential home site to the North. A second home site is also close to the "triangle" and would be negatively impacted with expansion in the triangle. The aerial view shows about one-half of the existing 40 acres as still available for extraction. It also appears that to the West of the 40 fronting on Highway 78, that extraction has begun. We request the County look into this since we have no access to the pit. 2. The permit period should be reduced from 15 years to five years to evaluate conformity with#2338. It should be five years, not fifteen years. 3. Reclamation Plan: on p. 2 of Composite Report for CUP#2338; no visible evidence of any reclamation in 15 years. Why haven't at least parts of this pit returned to agriculture use as proposed? We ask the County to look into this. 4. P. 2, again, Town of Mazomanie Comprehensive Plan: "Extraction activities are not generally compatible with residential uses and should be directed away from cluster of home sites or planned residential areas." PLEASE ENFORCE THIS BY NO FURTHER EXPANSION TO THE NORTH IN THE TRIANGLE on Highway 78 near Matthewson Road. 5. The Town (of Mazo) never did "provide full public review of the proposal". No neighbors were notified. 6. Chapter 10 six standards for granting a CUP in Section 10.255. (2);three of six not met: 1. "comfort or welfare" not compatible with residential neighbors. 2. "uses,values and enjoyment of other property in the neighborhood" not met. 3. CUP will impede the development and improvement of surrounding property for permitted uses. How many people would want to build a house next to a quarry? 7. On page 3 of Composite Report for CUP 2338, #4 is proposing a thirty (30) acres disturbed area, 50% more than the earlier CUP#1721. This should not be increased from 20 to 30 acres of disturbed area; not needed;too much open area. Leave at 20 acres as in the past 15 years. How many acres are "disturbed" now? 8. #5 of Conditions has not been complied with in the past 15 years; we ask the County to check into this. 9. #7, 15 years is too long. Please review in five years. 10. #9. 150 feet not enough length to prevent excess dust from trucks; pave past the scales. 11. #12 Saturday hours of operation conflict. 12. #16 should be enforced: "The operator shall use water spray bars in the crushing process and screening process to eliminate dust and fugitive emissions." 13. What is the permitted depth of this current operation (pit), and is it in conformance with the County?
