Public Hearing: April 29, 2014 Petition: Rezone 10664 Staff Re o rt Zoning Amendment: Town/sect. V p A-1 EX Exclusive Agriculture Dane '- o` District to RH-2 Rural Homes Section 06 ,1 District and A-2 Agriculture Acres:9.07 Applicant Zoning and Land Regulation Committee Survey Req. Yes Clifford Barbian Reason: Creating two residential lots Location: Northwest of 7815 Crystal Lake Rd A_l(sI L Bowman Rd .1 To N2 A1�eaj a aK To RH-2 C , „. i To RH-2 n _ >- DESCRIPTION: The applicant would like to create two residential lots and separate the original farmstead from the 115-acre farm. The remaining 80 acres of farmland will be sold to a third party. OBSERVATIONS: Approximately 109 acres of the farm are currently being cropped. The majority of the cropped area (north and south of Bowman Road)consists of Class I and II soils. The applicant would like to create two residential lots on the most southerly portion of the property. This area is wooded and has slopes ranging from 10% to 50% grade. The easterly proposed lot has an existing field road which provides access to the top of the hill where there are slopes under 12% grade. The westerly proposed lot has slopes up to 50%grade. There is a promising building envelope area that is close to the road; however, it has slopes at 14%. TOWN PLAN: In Ag Preservation Area, 1:35 applies here. "Prohibit building development on slopes in excess of 12%. Limit driveway grades to a maximum of 12% after construction." This will cause problems for the proposed lot configuration. RESOURCE PROTECTION: A large portion of the proposed rezone is in resource protection, due to slopes exceeding 12%. The western lot in this configuration is entirely in resource protection. STAFF: The proposal meets the dimensional standards of the zoning district. Any other configuration will reduce the amount of tillable acreage on this farm. TOWN: Approved; awaited town report.
