The original farmstead under the ownership of Raphael Ripp at the time of A-1 Exclusive adoption by the Town of Black Earth(8/15/81) consisted of 345 acres, according to information gathered from our township maps and computer files. In February 1992, a four lot CSM was created (CSM 6663) on this farm south of County Highway KP. Lots 2, 3, and 4 were sold off to, respectively:Myers, Hyland and Fahey. Lot 1 of this CSM remained under the ownership of Betty and Raphael Ripp. In addition, a CSM lot was created along the Black Earth Creek(CSM 8150 lot 1), which was transferred to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. However, it has been generally agreed upon that this CSM lot will not count towards the maximum allowable number of splits for purposes of density, due to the fact that this lot is zoned Co-1, or conservancy. When looking at total acreage, the 345 acres in the original farmstead would translate into 9.86 splits. As you are aware, the land use plan for the Town of Black Earth contains a provision for fractional splits, namely if the remainder is greater than 18/35ths it is rounded up to allow for an additional split. Therefore, the total allowable number of splits for all lands which were part of the Ripp farm at time of A-1Ex adoption would be ten splits. The proposed rezone#6974 would result in the creation of six lots, and when lots 2-4 of CSM 6663 to the east of the rezone site are accounted for, it would amount to a total of
