Page 2 Issue #3: Safety. There are 21 children in close proximity to this area and sites that are unsecured can, even with the most watchful parents, become playgrounds; they are "attractive nuisances . " Areas that pose such conditions should be enclosed, e.g. , by both erosion control and security fences . Issue #4: Operations . Implied, but not stated within these conditions, is the method of operation. Mr. Keleny indicated at the Town meetings that he would haul top soil to another site for holding, processing and distribution. This apparently means that no stock-piling mounds or shifting of dirt involving large machinery would be on this site. The method of operations should be spelled out. A second point regarding operations involves the number of years and hours of operation. We have seen the anticipated years of operation grow from five years to over twelve years as stated by Mr. Keleny's attorney at the Dane County Board of Supervisors meeting. A 7 : 00 a.m. to 7 : 00 p.m. operation, possibly seven days a week and holidays, over a twelve year period would certainly disrupt a residential environment to an unreasonable degree and for an unreasonable time. A time limit, for example three to five years of conditional use, should be stipulated. Issue #5: Road Conditions . It has been indicated to the Town Board by their Engineer that Valley View Road cannot withstand continual heavy traffic . Earlier this year, signs were posted to warn violators of weight limitations . Mr. Keleny and other businesses in the area have honored the assigned routes . However extending another business further down the road will only put added stress on the current road use as well as the additional road which includes a bridge on Valley View between this site and the presently used assigned route. Issue #6 : Method of Control. How will the approved conditions and the ones raised in this letter be monitored and by whom? This was the issue the Town Board and we feel most uncomfortable with in regard to the proposed operation. We by no means feel that Mr. Keleny would purposely violate the conditions, but they are certainly vital to protecting this land. If Mr. Keleny should sell his business, what are the guarantees that the new owner would meet these conditions? They must be specified, monitored and enforced so that the land is protected at all times .
