COMPOSITE REPORT - Page 2 APPLICATION NO. STAFF COMMENTS ZONING REVIEW 14. 7372 Carl Williamson(Prestige Building,do Craig Swanson,agent),Sun Prairie 33 R-1A to R-2 The property to be rezoned is Lot 2, CSM 7634, which has frontage,but no vehicular access,on CTH TT. Instead,Lot 2 has a Private Access Easement onto Helgeland Drive. The location of road frontage determines which side of the lot is considered the `front yard' --in this case, the North property line or ROW of CTH TT. When the zoning permit to build a new house was issued on 06/10/1998,the address was correctly assigned on Helgeland Drive, since that is the driveway location. Looking at the lot as if the frontage on Helgeland were the front yard resulted in incorrectly approving a site plan which placed the house too close to the South property line, which is actually the rear lot line. (The"Lot Line,rear"is defined by DCCO Section 10.01(35) as"...that lot line which is opposite and most distant from the front lot line." This Petition seeks to remedy the staff error by down-zoning to the R-2 district,which has a rear yard setback of 35'. (The R-1A rear yard setback is 50';the house is 43.0 feet from the South property line.) Note that the minimum lot area for the R-2 district is 20,000 SF. Lot 2, CSM 7634 is 96,811 SF. REGIONAL PLANNING Petition 7372. This proposed residential rezone appears consistent so long as it does not result in additional development. We note that the R-1-A district has a minimum lot size of 1 acre(43,560 sq. ft.)and the proposed R-2 district has a minimum lot size of less than 1/2 acre(20,000 sq. ft.). Therefore, a condition limiting further development may be needed. ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH (septic, etc.) DANE COUNTY HIGHWAY CTH"TT"is a controlled access highway. The property is not entitled to any new accesses. OTHER
