A small portion of the proposed lot will be in <br /> the FEMA floodplain. There are wetlands located along the edge of the Yahara River. The property consists entirely of <br /> Class II soils. <br /> TOWN PLAN: The property is located in the town's agricultural preservation area. Development in these areas is limited <br /> to one dwelling unit per 35 acres owned as of July 1, 1979. <br /> RESOURCE PROTECTION: There is an area of resource protection corridor located along the eastern edge of the <br /> proposed A-2(8) parcel associated with the Yahara River. No new development is proposed on the property. <br /> STAFF: As noted on the attached density study report, the property is eligible for four(4) possible splits. The town <br /> counts all residences, farm and nonfarm, as a split. Because the original farm house already counts as a split under the <br /> town density policy, four(4) possible splits will still remain if the petition is approved. The proposal meets the <br /> dimensional standards of the zoning district. <br /> TOWN: Approved with no conditions. <br />
