a Dane County Zoning Committee Petition 7199 Response to Regional Planning Staff Comments Items 1 thru 5 and notes. Composite Report is attached for your reference with the stated concerns. They are as follows: 1. Most of this land (80%) according to the application) is cropland. This land has been farmed as cropland in the past regardless of the type of soil. As much of the land as possible was worked to produce corn or in some of the area help keep the land from growing up in weeds. Each of the two parcels have areas that are not prime Ag land. The parcel south of Hwy 19 has about 1/3 of it's area that was used to provide the gravel for state Hwy 19 when it was built. This area is mostly gravel stones and has a light area of clay soil over the top. This area would be perfect for a future home due to the poor soil type and the site would be higher than the rest of the area. This site could use the existing access driveway that was graveled for the construction dump trucks when Hwy 19 was built. The State Hwy Dept. installed a permanant driveway when completed. The parcel north of Hwy 19 which is also along Jacoby Rd. has several sites that are not prime Ag land that could be used for a building site if so desired. One area could be where the old farm buildings use to be at the corner of Hwy 19 and Jacoby Rd. , again the state installed a permanant drive here, another could be along Jacoby Rd. to the north where the soil is mostly clay and more sloped or even to the northwest corner of the parcel where the land is definitely not prime Ag which is sloped as well. Non of the sloped areas would be too steep for building and following the Town of Berry's plan. 2. Parcel size. The parcel to the south is less than 35 acres , therefore non-conforming A-1. This would bring that parcel into proper zoning. The parcel to the north is less than 35 acres due to selling land to the Town of Berry for a new town hall. Rezoning to A-2 would be proper for this remaining land. Both parcels are divided by a public road and are already separate parcels. 3. Parcels abut public roads. As mentioned in number 1, the south parcel already has an access driveway and has a gravel base going to the building site. The north parcel has an existing driveway off Hwy 19 to where the farm buildings used to be. Access could also be off of Jacoby Rd. 4. Prime farmland. The areas that would be considered for home sites would not be located on prime farm land . 5. Wetlands
