- ^w► * i • 3637 Natvig Road Cottage Grove, Wi. 53527 October 11, 1986 Mr. Lyman Anderson Chairman Dane County Zoning Committee 875 Union Road Oregon, Wisconsin 53575 Re: C.U.P. b 463 Town of Cottage Grove Dear Lyman: This is a follow up on my letter of September 27, 1986 concerning this matter. Those people who were originally opposed are still disappointed that the C.U.P. was ever granted. However, we are realistic enough to accept that decision. We do expect that the conditions imposed should be enforced. If they are not complied with the C.U.P. should be revoked. The C.U.P. was granted on 4/14/86 with conditions requiring landscaping, screening and fencing by Fall of 1986. Not only has none of the work on these items been started in the almost 6 months that have elapsed but a plan has not even been developed or submitted to your committee, the DNR or the Towns residents. There is no Town committee working on this project and the Town Board has not encouraged any input from interested Town residents. They have not even started the most basic items of maintenance or improvement such as junk tree removal, brush removal or weed control. It should be noted that the Regional Planning Commission, which usually seems to be a friend of the Town Board, stated in their comments to your committee, prior to the C.U.P. approval, that: "Thee applicant should submit a site plan that provides for landscape screening and an attractive appearance. The recycling activity should be sited, where it is least visible and causes least traffic for the neighboring development". 1. The RPC implication seems to be that the site plan should have been submitted and approved prior to the C.U.P. approval. In any event it should have been submitted long ago. 2. Both the recycling and garbage transfer operations have so far been located on the highest and most visible portion of the property which is in absolute and complete non-compliance with the above RPC recommen- dation. 3. The RPC in their staff comments said they would be willing to work with the Zoning Department staff in preparing more definitive language relative to the conditions applied. This certainly implies that they thought that stringent conditions and a satisfactory site plan should have been a part of the C.U.P. approval.
