This proposal is a renewal Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for an existing Group A Public Water System Facility which was previously approved under CUP 2023-03/SEPA 2023-09. The previous CUP covered the construction of a driveway and parking area, one (1) booster station, two (2) reservoir tanks, six (6) foot fencing, two (2) separate wells, backup generator, water pipes, and underground irrigation canal.

This proposal also includes the expansion of the service area of the system and the installation and construction of piping to serve these areas under this renewal Conditional Use Permit. The number of approved connections is not increasing.  

The request is to allow for the construction of an above ground cemetery consisting of 5 columbarium units (72 niches each) and 6 mausoleum units (6 crypts each) with the entire immediate area to be hardscaped.

The proposed development is for the expansion and reconfiguration of the existing 700-cow milk dairy to accommodate a 9,500-cow herd size. Demolition of the current milking parlor, animal corrals, cow shade and other miscellaneous outbuildings will be part of this project. Approximately 113 acres of feed crop production ground will be converted to dairy-production ground.

The following structures are also proposed in this project: approximately 57,000 sq. ft. milk parlor building, twelve (12) open-lot corrals, six (6) 1,100 ft. long concrete lanes for each corral’s feed alley, expansion of five (5) existing 6,000 sq. ft. free stall barns, a 12,800 sq. ft. commodity barn with maintenance shop facilities, two (2) 10,000-gal diesel fuel above ground storage tanks, a paved driveway/parking area with approximately 20 parking spaces, a liquid manure processing and storage system, and a manure solids and compost storage area.
