DANE COUNTY APPLICATION FOR REZONE Item No. : 26. S7 IC77 N Zoning Petition i 3487 D.R. al State of WI - D.N.R. to _g--�"-''_ -- k t. Location: 4887 Wakanda Drive Se ction 33, SW Town Westport Area: 2.7 more or less Acres Proposed use: Amend D.R. to permit laboratory D ED. No. ANALYSIS: CONCERNS EXPRESSED AT/AFTER PUBLIC HEARING: STAFF COMMENTS; R.P.C. - Petition 3487 DR, CUP 803. This building was originally a camp head- quarters; and, since it was purchased by DNR as part of Governor Nelson State Park, it served for several years as Southern District Headquarters for DNR. There were 40-50 DlstrIct employees then, with 30-35 involved In this proposal . The building is currently vacant , with park land to the west and north, with many single family homes along the shore to the south and east . It is not currently in the central urban service area. A sewer runs down the street and the houses are connected; however , this building Is not connected to our knowledge. The current deed restriction limits the use as a recreational facility. If the intent is long-term laboratory use, there will need to be specific conditions since this area Is basically a Lakeshore residential area, with no plans for significant additional urban development . We under- stand that a building addition is proposed primarily for laboratory use involving fish aquarium, wet chemistry lab, biology lab and radioactiv- ity, all of which are now done at the Fish Hatchery office. From a public cost/public policy perspective, there Is rationale for making use of this existing office building. However , that use should not adversely affect the residential area or use of the surrounding state park. If a more intensive office/laboratory use Is to proceed, this building should be added to the urban service and connected to public sewer prior to proceeding with any plans for expansion. E.H.D. - Petition 3487 No objection to this petition. Co. Hwy. -
