July 21, 2016 <br /> Dane County Zoning Administrator <br /> Roger Lane <br /> Re: Dettmann Vineyards Zoning Permit Application Request <br /> Dear Mr. Lane, <br /> Dettmann Vineyards organized this Zoning Permit Application for approval to building <br /> Agricultural Accessory Buildings on the property located at 4200 County Highway P. <br /> The purpose of this document is to provide clarity regarding the proposed agricultural <br /> accessory building, there intended use, and how the structures align Al-EX Agricultural <br /> building guidelines. In an effort to provide a very comprehensive Zoning Permit <br /> Application, Dettmann Vineyards has incorporated instruction from various governing <br /> organizations and professional organizations that oversee Agriculture, Forestry, and <br /> Vineyards in the state of Wisconsin. <br /> Although this Zoning Permit Application is a new request, Dettmann Vineyards wants to <br /> recognize the brief history of their quest to build Agricultural Accessory buildings on the <br /> property located at 4200 County Highway P, Cross Plains property. <br /> • From August, 2014 thru February 2015 Dettmann Vineyards devised a business <br /> plan to construct a vineyard that included a AG Accessory building. The intent <br /> was to comply with all Al-EX guidelines (as Dettmann Vineyards had understood <br /> them to be). This AG building included the ability to have a tasting room as well <br /> as a production floor that would double as an event venue space for up to 250 <br /> people. This business plan was developed based on phone calls with the Dane <br /> County Zoning department as well as conversations with the Cross Plains <br /> Planning and Development Board. Based on the guidance we had received from <br /> all parties involved Dettmann Vineyards continued to further develop the plan. <br /> • In April 2015 Dettmann Vineyards held a open forum at Marit Sathrum's Barn <br /> (neighbors to Dettmann Vineyards) to share our business/building plan and to <br /> receive feedback from the neighbors. Members of the Cross Plains Planning and <br /> Development Board were invited to attend. The feedback we received was <br /> positive and cautiously optimistic (as would be typical with any business <br /> expansion). <br />
