1st Order of Business: Conditional Use Permit application for Gary Nelson, 8049 W. Caledonia Road, Edgerton, WI 53534 to separate off the buildings on five (5) acres for farm consolidation in the SE ¼ of the SW ¼ of Section 14 per Zoning Ordinance Section 4.4(3)(A)(5) [4.5(3)(F) of 2006 Zoning Ordinance].
Discussion:
· Gary Nelson stated that the proposed lot has not been surveyed.
· The septic field is located out in the adjacent field.
· Remley asked if the trailer located on the lot is a rental. Gary replied that it is not a rental, that his stepson uses the trailer. The stepson does help out on the farm.
· Gary plans on raising steers and tobacco on the lot.
· Sweeney raised the issue of farm consolidation and the trailer being located on the lot.
· The trailer was used by Gary when he was the hired hand.
· A trailer has been there for at least 20 years. The trailer was replaced with a new trailer around 1990.
· Sweeney stated his opinion that a Conditional Use Permit should be looked for to see if the property has a CUP allowing the trailer. However, this is not an agenda item.
· Section 4.4(3)(A)(12) [4.5(3)(M) of 2006 Zoning Ordinance] is the section of the Zoning Ordinance pertaining to the trailer issue.
· No comments on CUP application from adjacent property owners.
· The trailer issue should be an agenda item.
