Public Hearing – Consider and Take Action re: Preliminary Commercial Plat by G. LaRue, CTH TT, section 32 Dan Birrenkott explained the commercial plat map. He made the following points:

1. The plat will dedicate a future road to CTH TT, in event that the county would allow access to TT. This road area will not be improved at this time.
2. There will be a 6 Ton vehicle restriction on LaRue Lane in order to limit heavy truck traffic on that road. (Restrictive Covenant will address.) The intent is to have all heavy traffic use the east entrance to the plat. Weight limits will limit the truck use of the "older" existing LaRue Lane. (Town would add this road to the weight limit ordinance.)
3. Pam Dunphy, Dane County Highway, is content with what is shown on the plat, she will have final comments for the final plat.
4. They have done soil tests and the results look fine.
5. There will be a out-lot for detention pond. A culvert will be directing water from the back lot line to the outlot, water from a culvert will under the interstate will also be directed to the detention area. Water will be directed around the existing residential lot.
6. A Class B (county standards) turning lane will be added by the developer at the east TT access.
7. The developer will build the road through the plat at his expense and to town and village commercial road specs.
8. The Developers Agreement will be completed to cover the town and developer interests.

Several neighbors commented: Gary Dalgaard, concerning water drainage; Mike Lorenz, increased traffic; John Bailey, existing open storage. The Gary LaRue and Dan Birrenkott have been working with the Village of Cottage Grove (because of ETJ oversight). The project will meet Village Light Industrial standards and restrictions. The intent is to attract small contractors to the lots. Mr. LaRue indicated that the Village has required that the buildings have brick fronts, paved drives and parking areas, and no outside storage. They have also required certain types of landscaping.

The Town Board will review the restrictive covenants requested by Village of Cottage Grove prior to the next meeting.
