C. Site/Locational Information The property is located in the northeast and northwest quarters of Section 26, in the Town of Roxbury, approximately 2/3 of a mile north of the intersection of Breunig Road and U.S. Highway 12. The proposed 5-acre RH-2 lot would have 66 feet of frontage on the east side of Breunig Road. The property is in a rural area, roughly 2.25 miles southeast of Roxbury hamlet. D. Other federal, state, county or local approvals required A Certified Survey Map meeting the minimum standards of both the Dane County Subdivision Ordinance (Chapter 75, Dane County Code) and the Town of Roxbury Subdivision Ordinance must be recorded in the Register of Deeds before the land can be sold. A delayed effective date has been requested to accommodate CSM approval. Because the area associated with the proposed driveway alone would exceed 4,000 square feet, County Erosion Control Permits under Chapter 14 of the Dane County Code will be required before earthmoving or grading take place. Chapter 14 permits require an Erosion Control Plan approved by the Dane County Land Conservation Department. County zoning permits, sanitary permits and certificates of compliance will also be necessary before buildings can be constructed or occupied. Town driveway and/or building permits may also apply. II. ANALYSIS A. Compliance with Adopted Plans Town/County Farmland Preservation Plan The Town of Roxbury Land Use Plan/Dane County Farmland Preservation Plan (last amended in 1993) shows the property in an Agricultural Preservation Area. Within such areas, the town and the county have adopted the following relevant policies: • Limit non farm residential development to those areas with soils not classified as prime farmland or those of statewide importance; • Roads or driveways not permitted to cross agricultural land to reach proposed non farm development. According to the Dane County Soil Survey (1978) the soils under the proposed five acre RH-2 lot and driveway are a mixture of McHenry (MdD2) silt loams, Kidder(KdD2) and Whalan (WwE2) loams, none of which are classified as prime or state-significant soils. The Soil Survey suggests that all three of these soil types are better suited for grazing or woodland than for row crops, due to their low fertility and erosion potential. Farm plans filed with the Dane County Land Conservation Department show the northern portion of the Breunigs' land (including the existing field road) as rotational cropland. Because of their scale, LCD farm plans typically do not distinguish small areas of non-tillable land, such as roads, from surrounding cropland.
