Dane County Zoning records indicate that a portion or all of your property is registered with Dane County as a "nonconforming" mineral extraction site. Please see the attached map. The registration occurred in 1969, and all such mineral extraction sites were subsequently deemed nonconforming (a/k/a "grandfathered") uses. The Dane County Board of Supervisors is considering a change to the zoning ordinance that will affect dormant or abandoned nonconforming mineral extraction sites like yours. The change will require any new extraction operations to obtain a conditional use permit whether or not it was registered in 1969. This does not affect current active sites which have reclamation plans on file with Dane County. Ordinance Amendment #26, 2013-14, would remove language concerning inactive sites in section 10.21(1)(d) of the code.The language that will be deleted is as follows: (d) Mineral extraction sites that were registered as nonconforming sites as provided by this ordinance shall not be considered abandoned ordiscontinued if the site is inactive for more than one year. Your property is one of approximately 40 such dormant or abandoned registered mineral extraction sites in Dane County. It appears the site is either depleted, dormant, abandoned or reclaimed. The site does not have a reclamation permit or plan, nor is it a part of the required annual extraction site registration. If the ordinanoe is adopted, any future mineral extraction activity on your property will need to obtain a Conditional Use Permit prior to commencing operations.
