• prohibit driveways with a slope exceeding 13% The amendment would not change mapped planning areas or the treatment of commercial recreation projects. Farmland Preservation Plan The Dane County Farmland Preservation Plan and Section 91.77 of the Wisconsin statutes require that before any land can be rezoned out of the exclusive agricultural district, the county board must make the following findings: (a) Adequate public facilities to accommodate development either exist or will be provided within a reasonable time. (b) Provision of public facilities to accommodate development will not place an unreasonable burden on the ability of affected local units of government to provide them. (c) The land proposed for rezoning is suitable for development and development will not result in undue water or air pollution, cause unreasonable soil erosion or have an unreasonably adverse effect on rare or irreplaceable natural areas. See D. Site and Neighborhood Planning Issues below for a discussion of factors relating to the suitability of land for development. C. Environmental features The site is very hilly,with slopes in the northeast and along the southern property line exceeding 25%. Most of the proposed RH-2 lot is wooded, part of a contiguous stand of woods extending into a CO-1 (Conservancy) zoned parcel to the south. Elvers Creek flows from south to north approximately 500 feet from the ski resort property line, but none of the proposed rezone areas fall within the jurisdiction of the county's shoreland or floodplain ordinance. The County's Burial Mound database identifies a possible Native American mound on Parcel Number 0706-331-9590, the eastern 1-acre parcel of the southern rezone area in Petition#7263. It is not clear if this mound is ancestral or modern. The database suggests that field verification by an archaeologist or a soil scientist may be necessary to determine the site's historic value. D. - Site and Neighborhood Planning Issues The applicant has not submitted a site plan, as required for a Conditional Use Permit application. A copy of the minimum standards for acceptable site plans is attached. Without a sufficiently detailed site plan that clearly shows existing development and proposed expansions, it is difficult to evaluate the proposal for potential site or neighborhood impacts. The creation of the proposed 14-acre RE-1 lot(Petition# 7263)will exacerbate the nonconformity of an illegally created A-1(ex) lot owned by Mr. Reinhold (see map). Because a portion of Mr. Reinhold's land was never properly rezoned (see attached history), the creation of this new lot will leave a 1-acre remnant of A-1(ex) zoned land. The County Plat Review Officer should contact Mr. Reinhold to correct this discrepancy. 3
