• C Pleasant Springs Sanitary District No. 1 2354 County Highway N Stoughton,Wisconsin 53589 (608)873-3063 Curt Hornback, Chairman Lance Quale, Secretary Gene Ester,Treasurer Letter of Transmittal for Conditional Use Permit a. in December, 1988, the Pleasant Springs Sanitary District #1 was formed by the Pleasant Springs Town Board in response to an order from the D.N.R. that a sewer be built around the eastern half of Lake Kegonsa. Construction is scheduled to begin in late spring, 1990, with completion/start-up scheduled for spring, 1991. As part of the project, the district has determined that it will need a service/administration building, which it is proposing to put on the site under ,consideration. The building will contain an administration section, which will include office space and a meeting room, and a service section, including a garage, storage space and a telemetry area. The office space vill be used for district business, such as record keeping and bill-paying. The meeting room will be used for district meetings, and will also be available to the town and community groups for meetings. The garage and storage areas will be used by the district maintenance person, who will be responsible for servicing and maintaining the sewer system, as well as handling emergencies. The telemetry area will house the pumps meters and other special equipment needed to monitor the system. In addition, there will be a pump station located at the northeast corner of the site. The district anticipates that the staff using the building would be a part- time secretary/bookkeeper and a part-time maintenance man. b. The building is scheduled to be constructed in summer, 1990, with connection of the sewer lines and meters, etc. in spring, 1991. c. The sanitary district recently purchased this parcel from the Pleasant Springs Town Board, which agrees with the district that the proposed building will put to good use an otherwise unusable piece of land. The property is too low and small and isolated for farming. In fact, it will require some fill for our purposes, but the sewer construction will produce a large amount of fill which we will have to dispose of anyway. The site is almost at the exact midpoint of the district, providing good access for all district residents and quick response time for the maintenance person in case of problems. All the other currently available building sites in the district are lakeside or near-lake properties, which are prime residential sites, particularly now that sewer service will be available. The district did not want to take such sites out of circulation, and the cost would have been prohibitively high to acquire such a site. The other option would have been to purchase or condemn a site in the fields adjacent to the district, but again, the district would not want to remove good farmland from production. The Town Board sold us this land for the purpose of the building, and both the town planning/zoning committee and the town board have voted unanimously to support this application.
