TOWN OF VERONA BLANKET REZONING CONSIDERATIONS DANE COUNTY ZONING AND LAND REGULATION COMMITTEE MEETING 7/22/2014 The Town is supportive of the majority of the rezoning recommendations and has appreciated Dane County Staff's willingness to work with the Town. There are just a few properties for which the Town has alternate recommendations. The property owners will speak in more detail tonight, but as a summary: The Rego, Berkner, and Four Empty Milk Can properties are all in an area designated for Rural Residential development in the Town's Comprehensive Plan. • The Town supports the Rego properties being zoned RH4 instead of A3 because the properties are adjacent to major roads (PB and Sunset) and surrounded by large areas of existing RH zoning. • The Town supports both Berkner properties being zoning RH2 orRI because they area on an existing cul-de-sac that has rural housing already developed on it. • The Town supports the rezoning of a portion of the property owned by Four Empty Milk cans to RH4 zoning. These properties are along Sunset and surrounded by existing residential development. This property has been considered for annexation into the City of Verona in the past for higher density development. The Town feels modest development should be permitted within the Town as a potential preservation measure. The Swan U See property is one of the only properties in the Town that has potential for new commercial development. Last year the Town approved a comprehensive plan amendment and a rezoning to C2 with the condition that the owner/developer works with the Town on a development plan. The Town remains supportive of C2 over A2. Lastly, several owners of property west of Shady Oak Lane and north of PD have requested to remain in Alex zoning. The Town is willing to do a comprehensive plan amendment to put this large swath of land into farmland preservation. Thus, we ask that the rezoning for those properties be postponed to allow for the comprehensive plan amendment. The net result is that small amount of development would be allowed in an area already designated for rural residential development and much more property would be placed into farmland preservation.
