Ho-Chunk, Sauk & Kickapoo nations.

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.

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.

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,

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.

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

identified in the site plan and operations plan.

including the list of all conditions, on the site, available for inspection to the

for revocation of the conditional use permit.

effective.
