I've also indicated two alternative driveway locations to access the proposed building site. I prefer the Paoli Road access,as it is the shorter of the two drives and has the least impact on the tillable land. Because it cuts across tillable land,the Speedway road access would appear to be more inconsistent with the Town of Montrose Land Use Plan. Unfortunately,the dirt road already on the property is at a grade significantly below my proposed building site and would require a very long and steep drive to access my site. 4.Type of action Requested: (a) Zoning Request-Rezone a portion of approximately 1 acre from A-1 Exclusive to R-1A(site for construction of my home). This parcel has gross acreage of 37.83 acres and net acreage of 36.03 acres. The attached meets and bounds description defines a 1.4 acre R-1A parcel, leaving net A-1 acreage of 35.02.acres. 5. Miscellaneous Information I am attaching a copy of the Town of Montrose Soil Productivity Classification Map with the property location designated. Between 1988 and 1995 we owned a 45 acre parcel in the Town of Primrose. The property, located at 180 Highway 69, is at the bottom of Spring Valley Hill. The farm buildings including the house were the original Argue homestead, established before the turn of the century. When we acquired the property from Earl Elmer,the upstairs of the farmhouse hadn't been lived in for 30 years and the downstairs badly needed updating. We gutted and rebuilt the house,taking its decor back to that common in this area in the 1890's. The property is now a Bed and Breakfast. Except for a small amount of reforestation,the majority of the tillable land was kept in agriculture production during our ownership of the property. We believe we were a good steward of that piece of land and we believe we'll be a good steward of this parcel. We hereby acknowledge a copy of the Town's Land Use Plan,which will be returned to the Town Clerk when action is complete. I have reviewed the Land Use Plan for the Town of Montrose and believe our proposed use is consistent with the plan. This is a slightly modified version of the second of two rezoning alternatives we submitted to the Town of Montrose Land Use Committee for approval on February 23, 1998. The modification in this request corrects a technical error in the February 23rd proposal which requesting rezoning a 1 acre portion of the property to RH-1. County zoning regulations require a minimum of 2 acres for RI-I-1 zoning. On the other hand,a R-IA parcel must exceed 1/2 acre. The modification we are submitting(from RH-1 to R-1A) brings this request into compliance with Dane County zoning regulations and places a more stringent set of requirements(the R-1A requirements)on land use in the residential portion of the property. The other proposal submitted on February 23,asked for rezoning of the parcel from A-1 Exclusive to A-2 • and a two acre portion of the parcel to RH-1. The Land Use committee reviewed both proposals and was somewhat indifferent between the first and second proposal as long as deed restrictions were placed on the second proposal limiting use in the A-2 portion to uses permitted under A-1 Exclusive. The Land Use Committee recommended the first proposal in that it maintained the majority of the land in A-1 Exclusive, a zoning classification more consistent with the objectives stated in the Town's Land Use Plan.
