• William J. Fleck August 14, 1985 Page 4. 8. Holding ponds will be built of cement and have a 25-year storm capacity. 9. Since Consolidated will be pumping a considerable amount of water each month, if the water level gets to a dangerous level with local wells failing, Consolidated will have to stop pumping water. 10. Need clarification of how holding ponds will be cleaned and where the residue will go. 11. No fueling or storage of equipment will be allowed on the site. 12. Hours of operation shall be limited to 7:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. , Monday - Saturday. 13. When hot mix plant ceases to operate, it will be the responsibility of Herman Erb to undertake a reclamation program to put the land back to its natural state or to restore it to productive agricultural use. 14. There shall be four ground water monitoring wells located at the perimeter of the plant. 15. There shall be periodic inspection of the site to verify operating conditions. While most of these are addressed in the Dane County Code of Ordinances, some are in addition to that. Without full knowledge of the impact of Zoning Change #3473 and Conditional Use Permit #446, the Zoning Committee approved it and forwarded it on to the Town of Sun Prairie Board for approval or defeat. They had 40 days to act as of August 5, 1985. At 8:45 p.m. , August 8, 1985, the three-man town board voted to approve the zoning change. After considerable pressure from concerned taxpayers, at 3:20 a.m. , August 9, 1985, the board rescinded its earlier action and agreed to review the change further. We understand a tentative date of August 27, 1985, has been set to discuss the Conditional Use Permit. Since there are many unanswered questions and the 40 days the town has to veto the zoning change will not have passed, we feel that the August 27 meeting is quite premature. This issue has attracted considerable media exposure since it appears the interests of Consolidated Paving have been put ahead of the interests of taxpayers in Sun Prairie. Because the Sun Prairie Town Board is not taking the considerations of the people who elected them into office, we feel that Sub Section 10.255 (2) (g) is not being complied with and, therefore, request that a new public hearing be held per Sub Sections 10.255 (2) (e) (f) . We feel very strongly that a new public hearing to address the concerns and county ordinances is absolutely necessary before a final decision can be rendered. We would suggest this be held after the DNR visits the site August 23. We would again urge you to have members of the County Zoning Committee visit the site at that times as well. In addition to our signatures, there are at least another 100 people who
