DANE COUNTY PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT Petition No. 1577 (Sec. 2, T. of Springdale) Public Hearing Date:July 27, 1999 Applicant:Jim Murphy Work Meeting Date:August 10, 1999 I. BACKGROUND A. Request Jim Murphy is applying for a conditional use permit (CUP) on his 0.76 acre parcel to: (1) bring into conformance the existing tavern use; (2)bring into conformance existing, seasonal outdoor entertainment (e.g. the annual Riley Fest and the seasonal blue-grass music performances); and (3) to allow for outdoor games such as horseshoes, volleyball, or similar activities to be lighted and operate at night. The Riley Tavern has been in operation at this site for over 50 years, but has never had a CUP for either the tavern use or the annual Riley Fest that occurs on the third Saturday of every August. This petition is a good faith effort on the part of the applicant to bring the current operation into compliance. Furthermore, the applicant is seeking to expand the activities on the site to include a lighted, outdoor volleyball court, a 39- stall concrete parking lot, and a 3,575 s.f. garage that will include an 845 s.f. area to be used as an expansion of the existing tavern use that "would permit food service and sales of individual beverages during those times of the year when outdoor entertainment activities are provided (e.g. Riley Fest and the blue-grass music performances)." Attachment A graphically depicts the subject property and lands immediately surrounding it. Attachment B is the submitted site plan ("CUP Map") for this petition. Attachment B has been reduced in size to fit on an 8 '/z x 11 sheet of paper, so the noted scale is not accurate as presented. B. History/Past Actions On July 12, 1999, the Town of Springdale acted on and approved the conditional use for the grandfathered tavern. At its July 12 and July 19, 1999 meetings, the Town also acted on the conditional use to allow for outdoor entertainment, but only as it relates to the Riley Fest to be held this year on Saturday, August 21, 1999. The Town included conditions to be applied to this year's Riley Fest. More town action on this petition is expected at a joint meeting of the Town Board and Plan Commission on Monday, July 26, 1999. Although a town action report on this petition has been submitted and received, the town has indicated that its action on this petition is not yet complete. In regard to other relevant history, a quit claim deed was recorded in 1996 that transferred an area of land approximately 7,400 s.f. in area adjacent and contiguous to the northern boundary of the Murphy property and within the Klevenville-Riley Road right-of-way from the Town of Springdale to Jim and Nancy Murphy. Formerly, the front porch and parking area for the tavern extended into the Klevenville- Riley Road right-of-way. The quit claim deed transfer expanded the parcel size from about 26,639 s.f. (0.61 ac.)to the current area of 33,070 s.f. (0.76 ac.) and allowed for the existing front parking and porch to be entirely contained within the legal boundary of the property. Other properties in the area of the Sugar River Station Plat along Klevenville Riley Road appear to have been similarly adjusted, but have not yet been reflected in the County's GIS parcel coverage, so Attachment A does not accurately reflect all the parcel line changes in this particular area.
