Dane County Planning and Development June 30, 1999 Page Two The properties to the east and west of our location are currently zoned C-1 Commercial District. However, they are currently used as single family residences. To the south the land is being farmed and is agricultural field. The Klevenville-Riley Road is the north boundary line of our property. On the north side of the road is the Military Ridge Bike Trail and area which is owned by the Department of Natural Resources which is primarily marsh land. The new garage is currently under construction. We anticipate the structure to be completed by the end of August when we plan to hold the Riley Fest. Other activities will follow. Since the uses are primarily summer activities, the greatest use will occur during the summer months. We currently employ three people (in addition to ourselves) and do not expect to employ more (except on a temporary basis) . Most of the activities which will be conducted are summer activities and most will be weekend activities. Although some volleyball and horseshoe leagues may be held during the work week, we do not anticipate the activity to extend beyond 10: 00 p.m. During the weekend, during Riley Fest and/or during the outdoor bluegrass jam sessions, the activities may extend later in the evening. State law limits the hours of tavern operations and we would limit the activities accordingly. We feel that the existing site is very suitable for the activities requested. We have carried on the Riley Fest and the bluegrass jam sessions for several years and have done so without incident. The site is large and can accommodate the activities and uses requested. Parking and sanitary facilities are adequate and in compliance with regulations. Very truly yours, James and Nancy Murphy cc: Attorney Paul S. Taylor
