. As advised by DATCP, the Town of Oregon proceeded with the rezones of category (a) parcels. At the September 10 meeting, one of the questions was what to do with certain parcels that were going to be rezoned but that would require a CUP to continue with their present use. It was agreed that parcels that are presently proposed to be rezoned from A-3 to A-2 or RH, and whose present use would require an additional CUP in a different district, should remain in Al-EX as "non-conforming parcels" -unless the owners want the rezone and are willing to apply for a CUP. There was also discussion on what to do with the parcels whose owners had not filed the "rezone survey" sent by the Town. It was discussed it may be better at this time to rezone the parcels on a voluntary basis - whose owners sent the survey. The Town was rezoning all of them based on the assumption that without such rezone (all parcels in(a) rezoned -except up to six) the town plan would not be certified and farmers would lose their farmland credits. Diane Milligan pointed out that Dane County Zoning may want to rezone "substandard" parcels that are under six acres as it was the minimum stated for agricultural preservation under the Dane County Zoning Ordinance. The need for future rezones was discussed such as what to do with the rest of parcels in the (a) or(b) categories that are on Al-EX and less than 35 acres and that are on the agricultural transition area on the Town Plan Map. It was concluded that it may be preferable to leave the non-conforming parcels as such, in the Al-EX because an extensive rezone could trigger additional development. Three "blanket rezones"have taken place with the goal of making the Town Plan Map and the Dane County Zoning Maps consistent: • # 6123: First rezone following adoption of Land Use Plan; • # 6791: Removal from Al-EX of all lands falling within corporate boundaries of Villages of Oregon and Brooklyn; • # 6935: Change of zoning for nine parcels rezoned under#6123 (from R-2 & A-3 to R-3A, LC-1, A-2, RH-3). Attached find a list of the parcels that were rezoned in each of the three petitions. For your reference, find also attached a list of parcels that are classified as Al-EX on the present zoning maps but that are not classified as Agricultural Preservation on the Certified Plan Map. This list was produced by relating both automated maps with the computer using a geographical information system(GIS) and checking for lack of overlap between Al-EX (Zoning Map) and Agricultural Preservation(certified town map). The list should be fairly complete as it exactly follows what is on both maps as of August 26, 1997. At present, the Zoning District Map Amendments# 6791 and# 6935 have not been drawn on the zoning maps. I brought it to the attention of Jim Gregorius, Dane County Zoning Administrator and apparently, the maps will be drawn up to date once all "blanket"rezones are done for Oregon. For your reference, the parcels that had already been rezoned as part of the previous map amendments are highlighted in the list of parcels created with GIS.
