• Trash Removal:Trash removal services will be coordinated with the existing facilities. No new <br /> dumpsters or recycle containers are anticipated. <br /> Six Standards of the Conditional Use Permit: <br /> 1. The establishment, maintenance or operation of the conditional use will not be detrimental to or <br /> endanger the public health,safety, comfort or general welfare. <br /> - The low impact, both spatially and functionally,of this facility lends itself to this rural <br /> location. The proposed location is set internally on the existing university owned lands <br /> and the area will be fenced to prevent access and unapproved use. As a university <br /> facility, it is planned to include a compliant operation plan and meet all maintenance <br /> standards.The Division of Student Life (DSL)will have the course inspected annually by a <br /> certified Association for Challenge Course Technology preferred vendor. It should be <br /> noted the existing land is zoning A-3 Agricultural District which was established for areas <br /> of land that are considered transition points from agricultural land to developing areas. <br /> 2. The uses, values and enjoyment of other property in the neighborhood for purposes already <br /> permitted shall be in no foreseeable manner substantially impaired or diminished by <br /> establishment, maintenance or operation of the conditional use. <br /> - The proposed location is set internally on the existing university owned lands and the <br /> area is in proximity to mature vegetation. The tallest anticipated ropes course poles will <br /> be less than 50' in height. Users of the course will use the existing parking facilities on <br /> the site. A proposed shelter with restrooms (30'x30') is shown schematically. The <br /> importance of this facility is for staging and an interest in having minimal impact on the <br /> other users of the Kegonsa Research Center(KRC)site. <br /> 3. That the establishment of the conditional use will not impede the normal and orderly <br /> development and improvement of the surrounding property for uses permitted in the district. <br /> - The uses directly to the west, east, and south are agriculture in use. The ropes course <br /> will not distract from or impede the existing land uses in the area. This facility will not <br /> negatively impact adjacent properties from future development. <br /> 4. That adequate utilities, access roads, drainage and other necessary site improvements have been <br /> or are being made. <br /> - The proposed facility requires minimal new site improvements. There are no utilities, <br /> additional access roads,or parking spaces required with this development. The low <br /> impact nature of the ropes course creates minimal site disturbance. <br /> 5. Adequate measures have been or will be taken to provide ingress and egress so designed as to <br /> minimize traffic congestion in the public streets. <br /> - The ropes course facility will be administered by the UW's Adventure Learning Program. <br /> There is minimal impact anticipated to the existing road network based on the sizes of <br /> the proposed groups as travel is provided by ALP's. There are currently two <br /> ingress/egress access points into the site to disperse traffic and improve circulation. <br /> 6. That the conditional use shall conform to all applicable regulations of the district in which it is <br /> located. <br /> - The proposed plan meets all the applicable conditional use regulations of the A-3 <br /> Agricultural District in terms of governmental use and setback requirements. <br /> 2 <br />
