History: 1. Sept.26,2008 Notice of Zoning Violation to Jon and Wendy Steinhauer from Dane County Planning and Development Zoning Inspector Patrick Klinkner.(A copy of this zoning violation was not distributed at the Jan. 16,2017,meeting.)After receiving a written complaint,the property was inspected.The letter describes the fact that J. Steinhauer was operating an auto repair business from his property,with sales of used motor vehicles.This business use is not a permitted use in the A-1 Agricultural District that covers his property.He was instructed to discontinue running the business on the property or rezone the parcel to C-2 Commercial District which allows for a motor vehicle repair business and sales of used motor vehicles or apply for a CUP for a Limited Family Business. 2.Oct.27,2008 and Nov. 17,2008 Plan Commission and Town Board action to approve the CUP for Limited Family Business with conditions.It was approved based on the 2008 business plan submitted by J.Steinhauer,in which he describes his intent as:"Due to the nature of this permit this is only a part-time job since I already maintain a full-time job,and used only as an invite-only for the repair of family and close friends.My intent is not to expand nor post only ads or signage to create additional traffic in the area." 3.Nov.23,2016 Notice of Zoning Violation to Jon and Wendy Steinhauer from Dane County Planning and Development Zoning Inspector Patrick Klinkner.After receiving a written complaint,the property was inspected.The letter describes the fact that J. Steinhauer was in violation of the Dane County Code of Ordinances for miscellaneous junk,unlicensed and inoperable vehicles stored outside,non-compliance with CUP#2092 for the number of vehicles parked outside and the fact that the business had been transformed into a full-time operation. Discussion:Concerns were expressed and may not limited to the following: 1.The Springdale Town Plan does not support C-2 Zoning District and full-time automotive repair/sales.J.Steinhauer had presented his car repair as a hobby,not as a full-time business,in 2008.He acknowledged that he has been operating as a full-time business since 2013 or 2014.He acknowledged that he takes in cars from friends,relatives and his former employer—a full-time car garage- will bring vehicles for him to repair—up to 11 -16 vehicles have been observed there. 2. Since 2008 the business has expanded and no longer fits the standards for a CUP-Limited Family Business.The CUP for a Limited Family Business specifically states that"A CUP for a Limited Family Business is designed to accommodate small family business without the necessity for relocation or rezoning while at the same time protecting the interests of adjacent property owners.Applicants for this conditional use permit should recognize that rezoning or relocation of the business may be necessary or may become necessary if the business is expanded." 3.This is the second-time around for non-compliance of the CUP and other Dane County Zoning ordinances. Motion by Fagan/Schwenn to revoke the CUP#2092 at J.Steinhauer's Sand Ridge Ct.home.The owner has ninety(90)days to discontinue the CUP during which he shall stay within the standards of the CUP for limited family business.Discussion: The intent of the grace period of 90 days is to allow J. Steinhauer time to transition his car repair business from his home to a location appropriate for automotive repair.During the transition time,compliance with all Dane County Ordinances and the CUP conditions for a hobby/part-time job to repair vehicles shall be followed.Motion to revoke the CUP carried 3-0.
