FROM : TOWNOFMONTROSE PHONE NO. : 6084243848 Jun. 16 2015 03:18PM P3 Town of Montrose Land Use Committee April 27, 2015 Meeting Report Members Present: Deb Brucaya,Junior Eichelkraut, Jerome GobeJ, Tim Schmitt Members Absent: Tom Sarbacker Minutes are not official until approved by land use committee(LUC)members. Minutes of the March 23, 2015 land use committee meeting were approved as read. The first item of business was a request presented by Dave Jenkins to rezone land in the SESE of Section 17 as shown on a preliminary CSM and an aerial parcel exhibit,both prepared by JSD Professional Services in Verona as Project 14-6559. Specifically, a close to 5-acre parcel located along Cate Road would be rezoned from A-1 Exc. to RE-2 to separate the existing home and outbuildings_ The remaining acreage in excess of 36 acres would remain A-1 Exc. and be sold to Tom Jenkins, who currently farms the land. There was no splits analysis. There was minimal discussion of the request. Junior moved and Jerome seconded to recommend approval of the rezone of the 4.9568-acre Parcel B (Lot 1) located in the SESE of Section 17 from A-1 Exc.to RH-2,to split it off from the larger parcel. The remaining 36.133-acre Parcel A(Lot 2) would remain A-1 Exc. The motion carried unanimously. The second item of business was further consideration of the request from representatives of the (Jessimae)Hageman Revocable Trust,which was heard and approved last month by the land use committee and the town board, to separate 2.362 acres at 7698 State Road 69 from the rest of the farm and to rezone the parcel from A-1 Exc. to RH-1. That request involved creating an easement to an existing septic field. Ed Short, and Gary and Janice Hageman were present for the discussion. Reconsideration of the request is needed to address Dane County's concerns related to 1)zoning of the remaining acreage now known as Lot 2, and 2)use of an easement by Lot 1 to access the septic field_ The CSM would need to be amended. 1) The county regards State Road 69 to the south and Fritz Road to the west as natural boundaries to the remaining 19.388 acres, which is below the 35 acre minimum needed to remain A-1 Exc. This means the 19 acres must be rezoned,probably to Ag. District A-2, however, any zoning other than A-1 Exc. means the loss of eligibility to claim Farmland Preservation credits, which the Hagemans want to keep. 2) Although once an accepted practice, Dane County Public Health will no longer approve a rezone that includes septic access by easement; land needed for a septic system must instead be included in any new lot and be part of the new lot's deed of ownership. The Hagemans think that separate ownership of this septic field land,which extends north to the tree and property lines,will interfere with their future access to the farmlands immediately east of Lot 1. Jessimae Hagenman's will specified the house and surrounding acres be separated from the main farm for her daughter, Sandy Werner. Town Chairman Roger Hodel is talking with Roger Lane, Dan Everson, and others at Dane County's zoning and public health departments to see what bearing this fact may have on requiring the rezone of the remaining 19 acres and on regarding this acreage as separate from other noncontiguous A-1 Exc. land owned by the Hagemans_ Roger is also discussing with the county
