2655 CTH BN Stoughton, Wi 53589 June 12, 1990 Dane Co. Zoning Dane County Land Regulation & Records Room 116, City County Bldg. Madison, Wi 53709 Dear Sir: We are applying for a Conditional Use Permit for our property located at 2655 CTH BN, legal description below: Sec 11-6-11, SE 1/4, SE 1/4; and Sec 11-6-11, Part NE 1/4 SE 1/4 lying SW of SW Lane of I-90 Hwy The Condition Use Permit Requested is under Sec. 10.123 (3) , subsection (h) "Horse boarding stables, riding stables, hay and sleigh rides" We have been breeding, raising, training and selling Arabian horses for over seven- teen years and an integral part of selling horses is the ability to provide boarding for those horses until such time as the owners can (or wants to) provide another location for the keeping of these horses. In addition, the offering of continued training and schooling of both horse and owner is another important part of the marketing of our horses. The inability to offer these continuing service is hampering our ability to sell our farm product (horses) . The raising of horses and the feed to keep those horses is an agricultural use and we have filed farm income taxes since 1973. This activity provides over 31% of not only our income but also that of our daughter and her husband, and other occasional apprentices and farm laborers. In addition, we are active in the 4-H programs and presently have 12 young people in our 4-H horse program. These young people use our horses for their projects, but some do have their own horses and need to keep them at our place for assistance with their programs. Development Time Schedule. In accordance with the Pleasant Springs Zoning Committee's decision of August 2, 1989, we have already built one additional building to house boarding horses (although we realize this "put the horse before the cart". In addition, we plan to erect a third building by fall for additional housing and by fall 1991 expect to have an enclosed arena constructed. We also presently have a 120' x 240' outdoor arena constructed. (See site plan) . Suitability of Property. Located on a county trunk highway, this property is uniquely suitable for a facility of this sort, having easy access with a large driveway located at the top of the hill and visable from all directions. For the sale of our farm produce (horses) it is uniquely situated on the Interstate, where people can see our horses grazing and become aware of our existance so when they are in- terested in finding a horse they think of us. According to agriculture experts it takes one acre to completely support one horse (whether through grazing or the production of the feed) . We have a total of 46 acres
