Abstain:  
A motion was made by PETERS, seconded by SMITH, that the Zoning Petition be  
recommended for denial. The motion carried by the following vote: 4-0-1.  
Findings:  
1. The current zoning district supports the current activities on the property.  
2. The landowner currently operates Ironman Buildings contracting business as a  
home occupation within the existing residence and has an opportunity to operate  
it from the existing accessory building within the current zoning of the property if  
a conditional use permit (CUP) is obtained for a limited family business.  
3. There is a lack of information presented to support the zoning change.  
4. The FP-B zoning district accommodates various commercial and industrial  
activities, a number of which can be very intensive and may be in conflict with  
surrounding residential properties. Due to the size and location of the property,  
potential traffic conflicts, potential parking issues, possible lighting issues, and  
noise issues may result by this zoning change.

The final site plan(s) and design drawings reviewed and approved by the Town  
of Primrose are fully incorporated herein and continued effectiveness of  
Conditional Use Permit No. 2553 is expressly conditioned upon compliance with  
those plans.  
3. The Applicant shall provide visual screening and/or landscaping to minimize

in the final approved site plans.

in all respects, to the final approved site and operations plans.

issued under this section shall have the burden of presenting to the committee  
credible evidence establishing to a reasonable certainty the continued  
compliance with all applicable standards and conditions placed upon the  
conditional use permit. Failure to establish compliance with the standards and  
conditions shall be grounds for revocation of the permit. In the event the

expenses or provide information requested by the committee shall be grounds

applicant's obligation to remove any communication tower, array or any other  
equipment or structure placed or erected pursuant to the conditional use permit,  
including payment for such removal by Dane County or its agent in accordance

force and effect for a period of at least six months after the surety provides Dane  
County written notification of expiration or termination of the surety's obligation

other equipment or structure placed or erected pursuant to the conditional use  
permit no less than 60 days prior to the termination or expiration of the bond

Construction on Form 7460-1 to the FAA to assure that the tower will not impact  
air traffic.

construction, if it has not already been done, to determine whether notification to  
that agency is required.  
17. All tower components, appurtenances and transmission lines should be  
securely bonded and grounded to prevent RF interference caused by stray  
signals.

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.  
23. 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.  
24. 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

including the list of all conditions, on the site, available for inspection to the  
public during business hours.
