DESCRIPTION: Applicant proposes to separate the existing farm house and buildings from the farm. OBSERVATIONS: There is an existing residence and several large outbuildings on the property. 95% of the property consists of Class II soils. The southeast corner of the property is in the 100-year floodplain and may have wetlands present. No other sensitive environmental features observed. The property is currently deed restricted to prohibit further residential development. TOWN PLAN: The property is located in the Town's Agricultural Area. Development is limited to 1 dwelling unit per 35 acres owned as of 5/15/82. Separation of the original residence counts as a split("RDU") under the town density policy. RESOURCE PROTECTION: There is a small area of resource protection corridor associated with wetland and floodplain located in the SE portion of the proposed new parcel. STAFF: The proposal appears consistent with town plan policies. As indicated on the attached density study, there will be one remaining split available to Badger Farms LLC. A deed restriction was previously placed on the applicant's other property from the original farm, so no additional restriction will be necessary. NOTE: The A-2(8)Zoning District limits livestock to one animal unit per acre. TOWN: Approved with conditions(modify lot boundary as shown on the map above).
