[EXPLANATION: This amendment provides that the rear yard requirements for all buildings, not just residences, in the A-3 Ag District shall be the same as for the A-1 Exclusive Agriculture District.] ARTICLE 51: Section 10.127(9) is amended to read as follows: (9) General provisions applicable to the A-3 Agriculture District shall be the same as for the A-1 Exclusive Agriculture District. [EXPLANATION: This amendment corrects a reference; no substantive change is intended.] ARTICLE 52: Sections 10.191 and 10.192 are created to read as follows: 10.191 PROCEDURE AND STANDARDS OF OPERATION FOR MINERAL EXTRACTION OPERATIONS. (1) The purpose and intent of this section is to provide a centralized listing of the procedures and standards of operation for mineral extraction operations which may be permitted in several districts. (2) The application for the conditional use permit necessary to conduct a mineral extraction operation shall include a written description of the proposed operation including a time schedule of development and termination, a site plan and a topographic reclamation plan. (3) Excavations below the grade of an abutting public street or highway shall be set back from the street or highway a distance at least equal to the distance that is required for buildings or structures under s. 10.17. (4) Topsoil from the area of operation shall be saved and stored on site for reclamation of the area. (5) Reclamation of the area of operations is required as follows: (a) Final slopes shall not be graded more than 3:1 except in a quarry operation. (b) The area shall be covered with topsoil and seeded to prevent erosion. (c) The area shall be cleared of all debris and left in a workmanlike condition subject to the approval of Dane County. (6) Mineral extraction operations which existed prior to 1969 and were registered with and approved by the Dane County Zoning Administrator shall be considered nonconforming uses in accordance with s. 10.21. 10.192 PROCEDURE AND STANDARDS OF OPERATION FOR LIMITED FAMILY BUSINESS. (1) The purpose and intent of this section is to provide a centralized listing of the procedures and standards of operation for limited family businesses which may be permitted in several districts. (2) A conditional use permit for a limited family business is designed to accommodate small family businesses 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) All employees, except one or one full-time equivalent, shall be a member of the family residing on the premises. (4) Using applicable conditional use permit standards, the Committee shall determine the percentage of the property that may be devoted to the business. (5) The conditional use permit holder may be restricted to a service oriented business and thus prohibited from manufacturing or assembling products or selling products on the premises or any combination thereof. (6) The conditional use permit may restrict the number and types of machinery and equipment the permit holder may be allowed to bring on the premises. (7) Structures used in the business shall be considered to be residential accessory buildings and shall meet all requirements for such buildings. The design and size of the structures is subject to conditions set forth in the conditional use permit. (8) The conditional use permit shall automatically expire on sale of the property or the business to an unrelated third party. [EXPLANATION: The first amendment recodifies the existing requirements for mineral extraction operations and locates those requirements in one section of the ordinance. The second amendment creates a new conditional use and in doing so its intent is to allow for these uses without creating the need for rezoning which then outlasts the purpose of the rezoning.] ORD010z - 9
