Voss, NESSON, ERBACH & Voss, S.C. ATTORNEYS AT LAW 119 EAST MAIN STREET MADISON,WISCONSIN (608)257-4471 ROBERT C.VOSS FAX(608)258.4471 MAILING ADDRESS: PAUL R.NESSON P.O.BOX 1348 WALTER H.ERBACH MADISON.WISCONSIN 53701-1348 THOMAS G.VOSS May 23 , 1989 Ms . Shary Bisgard, Chairperson Agriculture, Environment & Land Records Committee Dane County City-County Building 210 Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd. Madison, WI 53709 RE: Conditional Use Permit #745 - Town of Middleton Hall and Park Dear Ms . Bisgard and Members : On behalf of the Town of Middleton, I submit the following information for your Committee in review of our conditional use permit #745 . Our request is for governmental uses under s . 10 . 12 ( 2 ) (k) of the Al Agricultural District. Under the governmental definition of s . 10 . 01 ( 23a) , I quote: Governmental uses : shall include but not limited to parks , playgrounds , schools , hospitals , police and fire stations, solid waste disposal sites and recreational areas . I believe that the Town of Middleton' s plan to construct a Town Hall facility and park falls clearly within the governmental uses definition. As expressed to you in the public hearing, there will be a recreational area that may include baseball diamonds and other recreational activities, a town hall site , and the possibility of the Dane County Sheriff' s station. It has been raised by others that the use of this area for baseball/softball diamonds that have lights should require additional conditional uses under s . 10 . 10 of the County Ordinances ( recreational district) . I do not believe this to be the case. I believe the recreational district implies a private user versus that of a governmental use. Under the definition of governmental uses , as allowed for in the Al District , I believe that the issue of lights could be determined under the current petition. This, however, is not the intent of the Town of Middleton. The Town of Middleton has indicated to its citizens that the issue of lighted ball diamonds will be a matter of future discussion. Although it may not be necessary to have a County conditional use to have such lighted ball diamonds , the Town is requesting that a conditional use permit be required if and when lighting for ball diamonds is requested.
