A motion was made by RATCLIFF, seconded by MCGINNITY, that the Conditional  
Use Permit be approved with conditions. The motion carried by the following  
vote: 5-0.  
1. The physical development and operation of the conditional use must conform,  
in all respects, to the approved site plan, operational plan and phasing plan.  
2. New and existing buildings proposed to house a conditional use must be  
constructed and maintained to meet the current requirements of the applicable  
sections of the Wisconsin Commercial Building Code or Uniform Dwelling Code.  
3. The applicant shall apply for, receive and maintain all other legally required  
and applicable local, county, state and federal permits. Copies of approved  
permits or other evidence of compliance will be provided to the zoning  
administrator upon request.  
4. Any ongoing business operation must obtain and continue to meet all legally  
required and applicable local, county, state and federal licensing requirements.  
Copies of approved licenses or other evidence of compliance will be provided to  
the zoning administrator upon request.  
5. Existing onsite wastewater sewage disposal systems, if any, serving the  
conditional use must be inspected by a licensed plumber to determine its  
suitability for the proposed or expanded use. Deficient systems must be brought,  
at the owner’s expense, into full compliance with the current requirements for  
new development of the state plumbing code and Chapter 46, Dane County  
Code.  
6. All vehicles and equipment must access the site only at approved locations  
identified in the site plan and operations plan.  
7. Off-street parking must be provided, consistent with s. 10.102(8).  
8. If the Dane County Highway, Transportation and Public Works Department or  
the town engineer determine that road intersection improvements are necessary  
to safely accommodate the conditional use, the cost of such improvements shall  
be borne by the landowner. Costs borne by the landowner shall be proportional  
to the incremental increase in traffic associated with the proposed conditional  
use.  
9. The Zoning Administrator or designee may enter the premises of the operation  
in order to inspect those premises and to ascertain compliance with these  
conditions or to investigate an alleged violation. Zoning staff conducting  
inspections or investigations will comply with any applicable workplace safety  
rules or standards for the site.  
10. The owner must post, in a prominent public place and in a form approved by  
the zoning administrator, a placard with the approved Conditional Use Permit  
number, the nature of the operation, name and contact information for the  
operator, and contact information for the Dane County Zoning Division.  
11. The owner or operator must keep a copy of the conditional use permit,  
including the list of all conditions, on the site, available for inspection to the  
public during business hours.  
12. Failure to comply with any imposed conditions, or to pay reasonable county  
costs of investigation or enforcement of sustained violations, may be grounds for  
revocation of the conditional use permit. The holder of a conditional use permit  
shall be given a reasonable opportunity to correct any violations prior to  
revocation. If any use allowed by an approved conditional use permit is  
abandoned for one year or more, the associated conditional use permit shall be  
terminated. Future re-establishment of an abandoned conditional use shall  
require approval of a new conditional use permit.  
13. The second floor of the accessory building shall not be used for habitable  
purposes.
