Who benefits? Who is burdened?

Who does not have a voice at the table?

How can policymakers mitigate unintended consequences?

Ho-Chunk, Sauk & Kickapoo nations.

Standard Conditions for all Conditional Use Permits from 10.101(7):

1. Any conditions required for specific uses listed under s. 10.103 (see below).

2. The physical development and operation of the conditional use must conform,

in all respects, to the approved site plan, operational plan and phasing plan.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. 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,

new development of the state plumbing code and Chapter 46, Dane County Code.

7. All vehicles and equipment must access the site only at approved locations

identified in the site plan and operations plan.

use.

10. The Zoning Administrator or designee may enter the premises of the

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.

Conditions specific to CUP # 2652:

13. The use shall employ no more than one or one full-time equivalent, employee

who is not a member of the family residing on the premises.

14. All dumpsters and related equipment shall be stored inside the accessory
