LEGAL DESCRIPTION of the land that is proposed to be rezoned. Room 116,608/266-4251 · This may be a Lot in a Certified Survey Map, a Lot (and Block, if any) in a Subdivision, or an exact "metes and bounds" description. · A separate legal description must be submitted for each zoning district. For instance, if two lots are being created, with one rezoned to RH-l and the other to R-IA, two separate legal descriptions are required. · Include the size of each rezone area in acres or square feet. · If you are applying for rezoning which will result in a Certified Survey Map or a Plat, the legal description submitted for the rezone application need not be exactly the same as that of the lot which is later created by the Certified Survey Map or Plat, but it must accurately describe the approximate location, size, and shape of the parcel to be rezoned. 2. TAX PARCEL NUMBER(S) of the lot(s) or parce1es) to be rezoned. · If the area to be rezoned is part of a larger parcel, please provide the tax parcel number of the larger parcel. · If the "larger parcel" is part ofa farm or other parcel of more than 35 acres zoned A-I EX Agriculture Exclusive, please provide the total size of the farm in acres. 3. SCALE DRAWING of the proposed rezone area, showing point of beginning, dimensions, bearings, etc., as in the Legal Description. · The scale of the drawing should be 1 inch = 400 feet to match the scale of the County's Zoning maps. This ensures that the proposed parcel or rezoned area "fits" with existing property lines and zoning district boundaries. · If the proposed rezone area is small, a larger scale drawing may also be required. · The scale drawing should also include: A. The size of the area to be rezoned in acres or square feet. B. Existing and proposed Zoning Districts for the proposed rezone area C. Existing Zoning Districts of all neighboring properties. D. Soil Capability Unit classifications as shown in the Soil Survey of Dane County. Wisconsin. You must provide the percentage of land in each classification (I-VIII) within the area to be rezoned. Zoning Division staff can assist you in determining soil classification percentages, but the application process will be expedited if the information is provided by your surveyor or other professional.
