That document addresses all the concerns identified by the Town of Spring Lake. Chairperson Barkla stated that if anyone wanted a copy of the attached document they could stop by the Department of Land Management. Holst, It is the duty of this committee to interpret and enforce the ordinances as they are written. If a Town errors in the interpretation of the ordinances, this committee must correct their error. Chairperson Barkla opens the public hearing. Bill Klanderman, Town of Spring Lake, I live about a mile south of the Kraemer Quarry and about a
mile east of the proposed site. I am opposed to the quarry based on information in the zoning code under 240-76 (2)(a); Specific criteria include adverse affects on property in the area, (g) creation of noise, odor or dust, (n)a change in the natural character of the area by removal of vegetation and altering topography and (o)adversely affects the natural beauty of the area between Spring Valley and Elmwood. Item (d) in your code is to protect the value of property and landscape. The burden of proof remains with the applicant to prove they can comply. Laurie Dane - We purchased Jim Weber’s home and were not made aware of this. I’m afraid of the dust that will come over the hillside and settle in our ravine for the next 40 to 60 years or however long this will be. There is a stream that drains the hillside running through the yard. I am concerned about the hours of operation, dust, runoff, and rocks falling off the hillside. Carter Turner, Town of Spring Valley, We live north and west of the site and own land along the west side of the property. We are concerned about noise, hours of operation, impacts on the water table and surface water runoff for up to 60 years. Such uses were denied in Dane County based on contamination from a spill and the quarry proximity to the water table. How will the County verify compliance? Mary Thompson, Town of Spring Lake, I, on behalf of my family the Hendricksons and Esenbocks are opposed to the permit due to health, and welfare of the citizens, disruption to the natural flora and fauna in the natural environment, and cultural concerns. Provided a handout to committee regarding site conditions. Fay Jones, Town of Spring Lake, I am an adjacent landowner on the back side of the property. The property will be taxed the same as farmland and there is potential for road damage since Hwy 128 was upgraded from a County Road. Also opposed to recycling of concrete materials, the hours of operation, water issues, the same as others. Dwight Johnson, Town of Spring Lake Supervisor The Town’s position was based on input from the public. There are livestock operations with pasture on both sides of Hwy 128 and safety concerns for vehicles. Christine, representing William Sperstad who owns the abandoned home on the parcel located along HWY 128 near the quarry entrance. She stated that he wishes to retire there and rebuild the home and will not care to be surrounded by a quarry operation. Student from Menomonie - The potential problems created by such uses could have detrimental effects on the environmental quality in the area well into the future. I would request that you table this request to allow an environmental assessment to be completed and review safety precautions. Pete Kirby, Town of Spring Lake, I built my home near the property and am opposed. J.Sonnentag - We are currently using Hwy 128 for transportation from our facility in Rock Elm. We are staying back from the west property line in excess of the county minimum. We intend to recycle process water. We propose 8 foot high berms to screen our operations and will berm to 12 feet if necessary to help deflect noise. We will control surface waters and can address issues raised here this evening. Clifton Robertson, Town of Spring Lake, concerns with the holding ponds versus the surface water when it rains. Fay Jones - I would like clarification on the property owners being notified within a 1000 ft, is that from the quarry or from the land they own? Pichotta, Typically, that would be from the subject property and draw a line 1000 feet from there. Chairperson Barkla closes the public hearing.
