An outdoor volleyball court is being proposed to be located east of the driveway and north of the proposed overflow parking area and south of Klevenville-Riley Road. The applicant has indicated that they plan to include two outdoor lights in the vicinity of the proposed volleyball area. These lights will be angled directly toward the volleyball playing area and away from neighboring property owners. The applicant has also indicated that they will likely need to put in a high fence and landscaping (e.g. high shrubs and trees) along the northern border of the subject property between the volleyball court and Klevenville-Riley Road to contain the activity and protect both the participants on the property and motorists passing by the property. Staff strongly supports this verbally proposed landscaping and fencing between the road and the volleyball court. Drainage and stormwater management issues are addressed in the erosion control plan. There is a recently completed 7,500 gallon holding tank that has been added to an existing 2,500 gallon holding tank facility, providing a total on-site sewage treatment capacity of 10,000 gallons. These holding tanks are located immediately west of the tavern, in the vicinity of the overflow parking area. A special cap has been included in the design of the new septic facility that will allow vehicles to park on the ground above the tanks during special events without causing any damage to the tanks below. The well is located to the east of the tavern. The unincorporated hamlet of Riley is almost entirely zoned C-1 Commercial, as shown on Attachment A. The proposal is reasonably consistent with the existing zoning. The Deneen lot across the street is vacant except for a small garage. The Sugar River and wetlands environmental corridor and the Military Ridge State Park Trail are located to the north of the Deneen property. Lots to the west and east contain single-family residences. To the south is the Zweifel farmstead and agricultural lands zoned A-1 Agriculture. Special consideration should be given to the single-family residences in the tavern's vicinity. In addition to the aforementioned volleyball court treatments, landscaping and other buffering techniques should be considered on all borders of the property adjacent to residentially used properties, unless otherwise buffered by such structures as the proposed garage and the existing tavern. Consideration should also be given to performance standards, such as limiting the outdoor hours of operation, particularly in regard to the outdoor lighting and amplified music. The town and the applicant have already been working on a draft list of possible performance and design conditions, which will likely be finalized at the aforementioned town meeting to be held on Monday, July 26, 1999. E. Public,Local Government,And Agency Input As noted above, the Town of Springdale addressed this issue at its July 12 and July 19, 1999 meetings, and partially approved this petition, with some conditions. However, town action on this petition has not yet been completed: Further discussions are anticipated at a joint meeting of the Town Board and Plan Commission on Monday, July 26, 1999. As of the writing of this report, written comments have neither been received from other Dane County agencies nor from neighboring property owners. Verbal public comments may be received at the public hearing to be held on Tuesday, July 27, 1999. Dane County Planning and Development Department Staff Report for Petition No. 1577 Page 4 of 5
