SPRINGDALE JOINT PLAN COMMISSION AND TOWN BOARD
MONDAY, April 27, 2026 at 7pm
Approved June 1, 2026.
1. 7pm Call to order and certification of compliance with open meetings law.
PC members present: Plan Commission Chair Jester, Carrico, Aburomia, Hanson, Dorn and Bunn.
Absent: Sullivan. TB Members present: Town Board Chair Rosenbaum, Supervisors Schwenn and
Altschul. Also Present: Town Admin/Clerk Jackie Arthur.
2. MOTION (Aburomia/ Bunn): to aprove of minutes from March meeting. 6-ayes, 0-nays MOTION
CARRIED
3. K. and S. Smith/ Lot 2 CSM #16085 Lust Road/ PUBLIC HEARING: Building Envelope Change on a
lot created by CSM/ Sec 34.
• MOTION (Bunn/Hanson): To recommend/not recommend to the town board that the building
envelope on Lot 2 Lust Road be moved from its original location closer to the edge of and into the
wooded area of the lot as depicted in the meeting slides as it is consistent the land use plan. 6-ayes,
0-nays MOTION CARRIED
Background – This lot was part of the Kahl concept plan – it had specified building envelopes. This lot has
already been created by CSM and therefore the building envelope change requires a public hearing and vote by
the town board. Neighbors were notified. There were no comments during the public hearing. The new location
is closer and into the woods and uses less pasture than the approved envelope and was discussed as better
meeting the goals of the land use plan than the original building envelope.
4. J. Mueller/ 8772 County Road PD/ 50’ x 42’ x 14’ Accessory Building and Discussion Only of possible
rezone of lands/ Sec 16.
• MOTION (Jester/Hanson): to table the request for the 50 x 42 x 14’ accessory building for Lot 2
CSM 7696 6-ayes, 0-nays MOTION CARRIED
Discussion: There is a cluster of separate CSMs in this area, and while the properties are historically related.
They are each a separate CSM and there are several different uses and zoning districts. The separate CSM lot
that Mueller is proposing placing an accessory building on its zoned RR-8 (Rural Residential 8 ac to 16ac) and
it does not have a residence. In the RR8 zoning district an accessory building is not allowed on a lot without a
primary residence.
“Except for property management sheds approved under a conditional use permit, a principal residential use
(home) must exist or be under construction before a Zoning Permit for an accessory building may be issued. “
So as things are zoned currently, the proposed an accessory building is not allowed.
The PC looked at various options to possibly make the proposed use viable.
1. Rezone the land to RM8 - where an agricultural accessory building could be allowed without a primary
residence if one establishes non rental farm income.
“Except for agricultural accessory buildings, or property maintenance sheds approved by conditional use
permit, a principal building must exist or be under construction prior to the construction of an accessory
building.”
2. Lot line adjust the house that is currently grandfathered in on one of the GC zoned lots to the RR lot to give it
a primary residence – there are some setback issues with this approach and it would need a new survey of the
lands – this needs more research and discussion with Dane County and the landowner.
3. Expand the GC lot contiguous to the location of the proposed site of the accessory building – the land use
plan does not allow for the expansion of a GC zoning district or of conversation of farm land to commerical use
– so this is not an option.
Overall – the application as it stands is not allowed – it is possible that there are zoning or lot line changes that
could make it possible, so we tabled the application to do more research, rather than denying it.
JOINT MEETING OF THE TB FOR THE PURPOSES OF REVIEWING AND ACTING ON AGENDA
ITEM(S) ABOVE.
Call to order 7:41 by Chair Rosenbaum
• MOTION (Schwenn/ Altschul) : approve the town board portion of the Joint Meeting Minutes

K. and S. Smith/ Lot 2 CSM #16085 Lust Road/ PUBLIC HEARING: Building Envelope Change on a lot
created by CSM/ Sec 34.
• MOTION (Altschul/ Schwenn): To approve the building envelope on Lot 2 Lust Road be moved

5. K. Zweifel/Concept Plan Revision and Discussion Only of possible lot lines and rezone for residential
lot creation/Lands North of Paulson and East of J/SEC. 1.
REQUEST: To approve a revision to the concept plan for the Zweifel lands to move the location of
building envelope for a replacement house on a concept plan from 2014. NO ACTION TAKEN. Site vist
scheduled for 6:30pm May 4th at 3038 County Highway J. Action postponed until after site visit.
Background: There is a concept plan for these lands created on Aug 25, 2014.
Ken Zweifel submitted a map and rezone application for a new lot on these lands. However, the proposed lot
location is not in an area defined as a development area for any of the density units on the concept plan. It is;
however, near to an existing house (though not currently inhabited) that was acknowledged at the time of the
concept plan and which had a legal driveway. Ken if he is looking at this lot as a replacement for the original
farm house in a new location more than 100 ft from teh original. There is a legal driveway existing to the
original farmhouse.
Members wished to view the location for the new development area since it was not considered during the
original concept planning – we will have a site visit and resume dicussion at the next Joint meeting.
