Dane County Ordinance Text July 22, 1996 to two persons . The ordinance can allow various categories of "farm family businesses, " but each category must meet the requirements of s . 91 . 75 (8) , Stats . Roadside stands can be allowed as a conditional use as either an agricultural-related use or a farm family business . The ordinance should specify which category of conditional use roadside stands are authorized. The ordinance does not include the necessary findings that must be made before approving a conditional use under ch. 91, Stats : that the use must be consistent with agricultural use and necessary in light of alternative locations . While the ordinance text include a consideration of alternative locations, it does not list this factor as a required finding. The ordinance does not contain a provision which requires the county to notify the department of all conditional use approvals in the exclusive agricultural use district . Farm Consolidation The ordinance does not contain a provision that would limit the parcelling off of farm buildings in a farm consolidation to a size that is no larger than reasonably necessary to accommodate the proposed use . Subsize Parcels in Exclusive Agricultural Use Districts The zoning ordinance, by itself, does not indicate that a parcel of S,, less than 35 acres is allowed to be created for agricultural use. It is likely that the restrictions for creating subsize parcels is in the county subdivision ordinance . However, it appears that under 10 . 123 (5) (b) , that parcels of less than 35 acres can be created for residences that are allowed in the district . Part D: Staff Recommendation - Ordinance The proposed ordinance is not certifiable in its current form. This report identifies the minimum changes that are necessary to make it certifiable .
