The existing <br /> residence would remain on 35+acres lying north of Fair Oak Road. <br /> OBSERVATIONS: Areas of steep slope topography are located on the proposed RH-2 parcel lying south of Fair Oak <br /> Road and also on the easterly 1/3 of the proposed RH-3 parcels. No other sensitive environmental features <br /> observed. <br /> TOWN PLAN: The property is located in the town's agricultural preservation area. <br /> RESOURCE PROTECTION: A small area of resource protection corridor associated with steep slope topography <br /> over 15% grade is located on the proposed RH-2 parcel lying south of Fair Oak Road. <br /> STAFF: The proposal appears reasonably consistent with town plan policies. The town plan seeks to limit <br /> development on quality farmland. The property does not consist of quality farm soils. Note that the town does not <br /> count the existing farm residence as a split if it remains on parcels of 35 acres or more. If approved, the available <br /> splits will be exhausted. Staff recommends the balance of the remaining A-1 EX zoned land be deed restricted to <br /> prohibit further residential development. <br /> TOWN: Approved conditioned upon a deed notice that restricts further residential development on the A-1 Ex lands. <br />
