• During the months of May-June 2015 Dettmann Vineyards, Roger Lane and the Dane County Zoning Department informed Dettmann Vineyards that certain aspects of the business plan and building did not comply with Al-EX zoning. Dettmann Vineyards updated their plans to what they believed would allow them to comply. • On July 20th, 2015 Dettmann Vineyards was given approval for building of a 15,000 sq ft to be built on the Dettmann's property. • On August 25th, 2015 The Building Permit was revoked due to material misrepresentation. • On September 14th, 2015 a revised Zoning Permit Application was filed by Dettmann Vineyards to Dane County Zoning. This new permit included updates to the building and business plans. The updates addressed the material misrepresentation stated on the prior building permit revocation. This permit was denied on September 18th, 2015. • On September 21st, 2015 Dettmann Vineyards met with Roger Lane and Todd Violante to work through the outstanding discrepancies preventing an approved Zoning Permit Application for an AG-Accessory building. During this meeting, Roger stated the building plans as submitted did not show an acceptable AG use. During a lengthy conversation with Roger and Todd, the group concluded that a detailed resubmittal was needed. This Zoning Application re-submittal needed to included detailed building use information that justified the size of the building and Ag use of the building. • On September 28th, 2015 the Zoning Application re-submittal was filed. This Application included a reduced building footprint and building use allocation with detailed Ag operations. • On October 2nd, 2015 Dettmann Vineyards received notice that this permit was again denied. Dettmann Vineyards is a newer business and there has been a steep learning curve with regards to Zoning Permit Application process. At times, the process has been taxing, but Dettmann Vineyards recognizes that Roger Lane was in the right to deny the previous Zoning Permit Applications. The prior Zoning Permit Applications did not provide substantial evidence to receive a permit. Dettmann Vineyards acknowledges that these missteps have caused this process to be more lengthy and daunting than required. In an effort to persevere, Dettmann Vineyards has taken a lengthy amount of time to re-work the business and building plans. We are excited to illustrate how Dettmann Vineyards has become a productive agricultural operation and how that operation will continue you grow. In addition, the Agricultural building plans have been revised to reflect the current agricultural land use.
