Mr. Weise introduced the Committee and reviewed the order of hearing.
The item for review was Petition # 15-2005, for approval of a zoning designation of Resource Conservancy 35 for approximately 5 acres of Sauk County property located within the County Forest along Highway 14 in the Town of Spring Green. The purpose of this request by Sauk County is to convey 5 acres of property to Brad Peck, to allow for expansion of an ag-related business in exchange for an easement on property located east of the Tri-County airport. The parcel of land affected by this zoning designation is located in Section 8, T8N, R3E in the Town of Spring Green, Sauk County, Wisconsin.
Mr. Lance Gurney, Planning and Zoning Director, gave a history and brief staff report. This use will still need to go to the Board of Adjustment for approval.
Mr. Lehman asked where this property was in respect to the airport. Mr. Gurney stated that the airport was northwest of the property. He also noted that there would not be any additional highway access required.
Mr. Todd Leibman, representing Sauk County, then spoke. He stated that the County could rezone it's own property and this rezoning would be in the best interest of Sauk County. This rezoning would protect the entrance of the Tri County Airport from development and would enable the County to get substantial funding for airport improvement. The Town of Spring Green was not represented at the hearing.
Mr. Brad Peck appeared in favor. He stated that the Town of Spring Green had already approved a special exception to continue an agricultural business. Mr. Wiese asked if this land would not be considered buildable and could only be used for farming near the airport. Mr. Peck answered that he had agreed to an easement on 10 acres to the east of the runway.
Seeing no one else wished to speak, Chairman Wiese closed the public portion of the hearing at 9:50 A.M.
Motion by Gaalswyck, seconded by Sprecher to approve a zoning designation
of Resource Conservancy 35 for approximately 5 acres of Sauk County property
located in Section 8, T8N, R3E in the Town of Spring Green.
Motion carried,
5-0.
Mr. Gurney then gave a brief monthly report. The Baraboo Range project was discussed. He stated that the easy easements have been done and Dave Tremble was working on the more labor intensive purchases. He explained that Mr. Tremble was working on the Baraboo Range Project about 60% of the time, 30% on comprehensive planning and about 10% on Badger.
Mr. Gurney stated that the budget had passed administrative review with one minor change regarding equipment fully paid out of land records funding. Mr. Gurney also planned to request an additional $500.00 to cover the rising cost of gas.
He stated that there was a lot of permit activity and the maintenance program was discussed.
The Town of Baraboo Comprehensive plan was discussed. Motion by Ashford,
seconded by Sprecher to accept the plan for incorporation into the development
of Sauk County's Comprehensive Plan.
Motion carried, 5-0.
The purchase of a new truck cap was discussed next. Mr. Gurney explained
that the tonneau cover originally included in the purchase of the Colorado
truck was not acceptable. He stated that there was still money left in
that original line item. Motion by Sprecher, seconded by Gaalswyck to approve
the purchase of a new cap for the truck not to exceed $700.00.
