Depending on its design, the proposed day camp use could be compatible with natural area restoration and preservation. However, field work will be necessary to determine the limits of any native plant communities and other sensitive areas. Once the limits of preservation or restoration areas are identified, a combination of conservation easements, deed restrictions and/or CO-1 conservancy zoning may be appropriate to protect such areas in the future. Staff encourage the applicant to contact Wayne Pauly of the County Parks Department, the Wisconsin Chapter of the Nature Conservancy, or one of several prairie restoration groups or consultant firms in the area for more information. D. Site and Neighborhood Planning Issues The site plan submitted as part of the application for the Conditional Use Permit is not sufficient to determine the impact of the proposed development. The Zoning Division has developed detailed guidelines for acceptable site plans, a copy of which is attached. In this particular case, the plan should include scaled drawings and labels to clearly locate and identify the following: • all existing and proposed buildings, structures or expansions (including outdoor amphitheaters, swimming pools, showers, etc.); • location and width of all driveway entrances onto public and private roadways, and of all interior roads or driveways; • all parking areas, number of spaces and turn-arounds, in sufficient detail to determine compliance with Section 10.18 of the Dane County Zoning Ordinance (relevant sections attached), and; • all natural features of the property, including wetlands, streams, native woodland or grassland areas, intermittent watercourses and floodplains. In addition, further detail on the planned operation of the day camp will also be necessary to determine compliance with County and Town policies and regulations. The applicant should provide the following information: • total number of campers expected to be served at the new site; • total number of employees expected to work at the new site, and; • expected length, frequency and number of participants of evening, overnight and retreat events. Staff will be happy to assist the MJCC or the landowner in meeting these requirements. E. Public, Local Government, And Agency Input The Dane County Highway Department notes that a decrease in the number of existing accesses onto County Highway PD would be desirable. Since CTH PD is a controlled access highway, change of use access permit and an approved access plan will be required. Deceleration lanes for accesses may also be required. The Dane County Land Conservation Department comments that the area is currently located in the Sugar River Priority Watershed. The site will drain to the Sugar River which is considered a 3
