DANE COUNTY PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT Petition No. 7435—Mitchell Grundahl Public Hearing Date: 12/15/98 Section 36, Town of York Work Meeting: 1/12/99 I. BACKGROUND A. Request The applicant is requesting to divide and rezone a 9.6-acre, non-conforming, A-1 Exclusive parcel into two lots. Lot 1 will be 2.2 acres, and it will be rezoned to A-2 (1). It will be connected to a 7 acre parcel in Dodge County. The intent is to provide access to a future single- family residential site in Dodge County. No building is intended for Lot 1 in Dane County; the applicant only intends to put a driveway across it. Lot 2 will be 7.4 acres, and it will be rezoned to RH-2. This lot includes the applicant's residence, which also appears to be the original farmstead. Attachment A depicts the proposed lot configuration. B. Site/Locational Information The parcel in question sits in Section 36 of the town of York, immediately on the line between Dane and Dodge Counties. There does not appear to be any physical complication of the site (e.g. slope,wetland/floodplain, hydric soil, etc.). C. Other Approvals Required The town of York will likely need to issue a driveway permit for access onto Broetzman Road. II. ANALYSIS A. Compliance with Adopted Plans Dane County Regional Planning indicates that, "...this petition appears reasonably consistent with adopted plan policies." The density analysis indicates that the original farm, at the time of town plan adoption in 1979, was comprised of 48 acres. Based on the town's one per 35 acre density policy, this would allow one split. There have been no previous splits. Regional Planning astutely points out the fact that per the town of York's policy,' the applicant may be allowed to create an additional residential lot in Dane County. With the imposition of a deed restriction on Lot 1, will the applicant be allowed one additional building site on another lot at some point in the future? Does the town of York count a split for the original farmstead against the total number of splits allowed? Either way, it appears that the applicant may pursue the current proposal. The question is whether or not the applicant will have one split left coming to him. 1 "The owner of a parcel or contiguous parcels totaling two to thirty-five acres in size, inclusive,may create one residential dwelling lot."
