RE: SITE SPECIFIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND SPECIAL REVIEW PERMIT #1189 FOR A

DISTRICT - DAVE AND SHERRY WAREHIME
A public hearing was conducted on August 5, 1998, at 10:00 a.m., with the following present:
Commissioner Constance L. Harbert, Chair
Commissioner W. H. Webster, Pro-Tem
Commissioner George E. Baxter
Commissioner Dale K. Hall
Commissioner Barbara J. Kirkmeyer
Also present:
Acting Clerk to the Board, Esther Gesick
Assistant County Attorney, Lee Morrison
Planning Department representative, Scott Ballstadt
Health Department representative, Sheble McConnellogue
Public Works representative, Don Carroll
The following business was transacted:
I hereby certify that pursuant to a notice dated June 26, 1998, and duly published July 22, 1998, in
the Platteville Herald, a public hearing was conducted to consider the request of Dave and Sherry
Warehime for a Recreational Facility (rodeo arena) in the A (Agricultural) Zone District. Lee
Morrison, Assistant County Attorney, made this a matter of record. Scott Ballstadt, Department of
Planning Services representative, presented a brief summary of the proposal and entered the
favorable recommendation of the Planning Commission into the record as written. Mr. Ballstadt
gave a brief description of the location of the proposed arena and stated this proposal will not take
prime agricultural farm ground out of production. He added the application is consistent with the A
(Agricultural) Zone District and surrounding uses and recommended approval.
Joe Harris represented the applicant and stated the purpose of this facility is stated in the letter
Dave and Sherry Warehime, applicants, submitted, marked Exhibit E. Mr. Harris explained the
applicants wish to provide wholesome and productive activities for the youth in the area while
training for rodeo events. He stated the cost of events, programs, and awards are paid for through
entrance fees and contributions,
In response to Commissioner Kirkmeyer, Sheble McConnellogue, Health Department
representative, reviewed Exhibit E and explained the reason the Health Department is requiring a
permanent septic or vault system is to remain consistent with other Special Review Permits in the
County. She stated a Port-o-Pot is not allowed at this type of facility and added that the expense
of a vault system is cheaper over a long period of time than annually renting a Port-o-Pot. Ms.
McConnellogue spoke with the applicant regarding this matter who stated they have sponsorships
which should be able to cover the cost a installing a vault system. In response to Chair Harbert, Ms.
McConnellogue stated unlike other cases in the County, this facility could be considered temporary
because it is only open for 15 Saturdays from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.; however, they open annually.
Responding to Commissioner Kirkmeyer, Ms. McConnellogue stated there is not a health concern

with a Port-o-Pot on a temporary basis, but reiterated they will open annually and added one stall
would be sufficient for the proposed number of people. In response to Chair Harbert, Ms.
McConnellogue stated the cost of a vault is based on how big it is and how often it would need to
be pumped. Responding to Commissioner Hall, Mr. Harris stated there is no guarantee this facility
will be permanent because funding is based on sponsorships and the applicant is not required to
continue. Mr, Harris expressed opposition to Development Standard#14 concerning the limit of 75
persons per event. He stated there are currently 70 riders and this amount could easily increase.
Ms. McConnellogue clarified this restriction was based solely on what was submitted in the
application materials. Mr. Ballstadt stated if more than 75 people are admitted, the Special Review
Permit will need to be amended. Chair Harbert suggested allowing a Port-o-Pot if the number of
users is limited to 75; however, if the attendance increases a vault system would be required.
Ms. Warehime explained this facility began with their grandchildren and grew with the addition of
friends and family becoming interested. In response to Commissioner Kirkmeyer, Ms. Warehime
stated there could be 85-90 people present if all of the participants come at once. Commissioner
Baxter gave a brief explanation of the need for a Special Review Permit and clarified they are
required when people not related attend and fees are charged.
Marvin Bay, surrounding property owner, stated he lives east of the proposed site and intends to
take his grandchildren to ride. He stated the applicants do a good job of coordinating programs.
In response to Mr. Bay, Commissioner Kirkmeyer stated these rules were not established to take
away the property owner's rights and added they also protect the rights of surrounding property
owners.
Commissioner Kirkmeyer moved to approve the request of Dave and Sherry Warehime for a Site
Specific Development Plan and Special Review Permit #1189 for a Recreational Facility (rodeo
arena) in the A(Agricultural)Zone District, based on the recommendations of the Planning staff and
the Planning Commission, with the Conditions of Approval and Development Standards as entered
into the record with the deletion of Conditions of Approval #2.A.2 and #3.A and renumbering of all
subsequent paragraphs, and changing the first sentence of Development Standard #10 to read as
follows: "The rodeo arena shall provide restroom facilities and a Port-a-Pot shall be acceptable."
The motion was seconded by Commissioner Webster, and it carried unanimously.
