commercial campground would be covered under conditions #13, intensification of use that would require a new conditional use. Chairperson Barkla I advise the applicant to error on the side of caution and to not operate outside the scope of the conditions. Nellessen - Commends Mr. Brenner for being willing to pay more taxes. How can we direct traffic and restrict street parking? If we limit the hours of operation we are setting this up for failure. Pichotta - Staff recommendations are based on town and county concerns and consideration for the applicant’s request. Sanden discussed the number of operating days per year and the potential for negative impacts by limiting. Pichotta – the LMC could word conditions so that they could adjust the days of operation upon request in the future, if appropriate. Holst - The applicant agrees with the staff report so I would not change the conditions. Chairperson Barkla - The applicant has come in with a reasonable request that is understandable and I would not vote for lessening conditions. Nellessen - Can we go over each condition individually for a vote? Motion to approve but I would like to strike the condition concerning traffic routing. Chairperson Barkla Second to the motion? Nellessen - Motion to approve the conditional use permit with amended conditions for farm and home based businesses for Vino in the Valley with retail sales and a farm market with the following conditions 1, 2, 3, 4, Strike Condition 5, Condition 6 Strike the offstreet parking, 7, Condition 8 amend hours of operation from 2 P..M. to 11 P.M. Monday to Friday and 10A.M. to 12 P.M. weekends, 9, strike condition 10, strike condition 11, 12, 13, Condition 14 strike no amplified live music and bandshell construction, Condition 15 strike Camping which is addressed under condition 13. Chairperson Barkla - Is there a second to this motion? No second to Mr. Nellessen’s Motion. Sanden - Motion to approve with conditions 1 – 14 with amended conditions: 4 lighting per county policy, condition 5 routing Hwy 10 to 400 th St. to 450 th Avenue and from Hwy 72 south, condition 6 minimum 30 parking spaces, condition 12 amend second phrase to allow neighbors input during status report, condition 13 …. and including condition 14 no amplified live music and a band shell….. Holst asked about hours of operation. Pichotta - Town recommended hours from 4 P.M. to 10 P.M. with lights out by 11 P. M. Pichotta – Might it be cleaner if each request for a conditional use is addressed with a separate motion? Sanden - Withdraw that motion and make a motion to approve with conditions 1 thru 14 as amended in prior motion for Vino in the Valley/Nellessen seconds. Chairperson Barkla, All in favor. Motion carries with all in favor. Sanden - Motion to approve the farm and home based business for retail sales and farm market with conditions 1 thru 7 with amended conditions consistent with conditions approved for Vino in the Valley. Holst Second. Motion carries with all in favor. Chairperson Barkla called for a 3 minute recess. Meeting called back to order at 8:45 P.M. Public hearing to consider a request for a conditional use permit for a nonmetallic mining quarry operation in the General Rural District by County Materials Corp, agent, on property owned by Jim Weber & Greg Nelson, located in the NE ¼, EXC a 3 acre PCL
located in the NE ¼ of the NE ¼, plus 9 acres M/L in the NW ¼ of the SE ¼, all in Section 16; plus 9 acres M/L located in the SE ¼ of the SE ¼ in Section 9, T27N, R15W, Town of Spring Lake, Pierce County, WI. Chairperson Barkla invited Jim Small, Geologist from County Materials Corp, Jack Sonnentag, Operations Manager and Brian Larus, Olson Explosives forward. Mr. Small explains David Schmutzler from Jade Air Co. wasn’t able to make it because of the weather. He was going to explain the fines recovery system that they’re proposing but Jack will be able to do that. Mr. Small discussed the purpose of their request to open a nonmetallic mining facility on property owned by Jim Weber and Greg Nelson. They intend to operate similar to their facility in Eau Claire. County Materials owns their own trucks that will move the materials and they will be selling ag lime which is a byproduct of the crushing and washing. There would be other byproducts that could be for sale also. They chose this location because of the lime material in this county. A lot of it is not suitable to use in concrete. Another reason was because of its access to HWY 128 and fewer neighbors and one of the parcels was for sale. Our original proposal and reclamation plan had a few issues that the neighbors wanted changed. They have been modified to recycle all of the water except for the water that would be clinging to the rocks and draining out. We propose a wider setback along the west side of the quarry based on an identified elevation that will save additional trees and avoid disturbance of steep slopes. We committed to planting trees in the reclamation plan after we met with the Town of Spring Lake. We will also need DNR air permit and NPDES permits and your permits that would deal with the 100 year storm events. A high capacity well will be required but the water reuse system will reduce our need for continuous pumping. We would only need to replenish the tanks at the beginning of the week when they have been sitting idle. Our mining reclamation plan covers all code issues. Nellessen - Do you recall if I ever contacted you for obtaining materials for local projects? Small - I remember you attended a Town meeting, but I do not have a recollection of you asking any questions. Holst - How large is the tank for the water reuse system? Sonnentag - We use two tanks produced by Jade Air that holds less than 15,000 gallons. The size is 10.5 ft. by 50 ft. with a depth of 8 ft. Again the major water use is only to fill and maintain the water level. With a low volume quarry it would take a few days to fill it, which could be done over a period of three weeks. When that is filled the water comes out of the back side of it to another pump that gets up to the wash plant or the spray bars and comes back to the sand screen. The overflow water comes back to a sludge pump, sand pump which pumps it back to the tank. It works on a settling system and sensors that sense when there is more than an inch of sand on the bottom. It’s clean water then because the particles drop to the bottom. It’s a gradient issue to putting your sand pile at a 3% slope so that water comes right back in. The only water we would lose is from evaporation. Chairperson Barkla asked if an environmental assessment must be completed for this site. Mr. Small - We haven’t been asked to do that but could complete a study on the unfarmed areas. Staff Report – Andy Pichotta: This is a request for a conditional use permit for nonmetallic mining. County Materials has an option to purchase approximately 196 acres owned by James Weber and Greg Nelson on which they are proposing a nonmetallic mine. The mining operation would cover 129 acres of the site. Phased extraction and
