Correspondence / Memorandum State of Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade & Consumer Protection Farmland Preservation Irogmar--r- — 0 \ Date: August 8, 1997 To: Mark Roffers e County Planning & Development From: Diane Milligan iti \ AUG I 2. 1997 Subject: Dane County Zoning Ordinance Text `% t �,�.PLANfVt{VG&DEIIELO�ME �� PftOFE�TY RECORDS _j Enclosed you'll find the documents from our files pertaining to required a iiendments to —�--°- "- County's zoning ordinance text. The most recent memo from Keith Foye ftrC'aTiornstead clarifies that the current ordinance text is certified through 1997, as ATCP 51 has not yet been promulgated. Since Chapter 71 requires that farmers be covered by an exclusive agricultural zoning ordinance at the end of the calendar year in order to receive farmland preservation tax credits, the text certification request must be submitted by July 1, 1998 and certified by December 31, 1998 in order for eligibility to continue uninterrupted. The other documents detail the specific points that must be addressed or clarified. The checklist that Kate Lawton used to review the ordinance text provides the most specific information regarding what needs to be changed. Although the extension was granted as a result of Jeanie's request that text amendments wait until the final rule is promulgated, we are using the checklist to implement the provisions required by statute. The new requirements based on the rule are identified (Checklist C. 6., New Residences on Subsize Parcels) and Kate indicated that they were not applicable. Both of these conditions are currently part of Dane County's ordinance, albeit as permitted uses rather than conditional uses. Please feel free to call me at 224-4637 after August 24, or Keith Foye at 224-4603 if you have any questions about these documents or our process. I look forward to working with you on this.
