COMPOSITE REPORT- Page 4 Application No. 7037 D. R-4 zoning could be applied to the entire parcel currently now proposed for RH-4 zoning. A deed restriction preventing further residences on the property may be appropriate if this option is chosen. The applicant would be required to receive a variance from the Board of Adjustment for any aspects of the property/structures which are inconsistent with R-4 zoning, such as C.1 and C.2 suggested above. Other alternatives for zoning this parcel may be possible or required, particularly if(1)zoning lots could be drawn such that only the multiple family residential buildings were put in the R-4 district, with the large accessory buildings in another more appropriate district, (2)the storage use of the barn is for storage of items from off-site, (3) farm activities are still taking place on portions the property. Alternatives to straight R-4 zoning may negate or minimize the need for Board of Adjustment action. However, it is difficult to gauge the viability of the alternatives without knowing specific building layouts, size, and uses. E. At the time of writing,the County had not received notice of town action on this petition. III. SUMMARY A. The proposal is designed to allow one more residential building site. Because the remaining 26 acres of the property is not in compliance with the zoning ordinance, that portion of the subject property must also be rezoned. However, the district proposed (RH-4) is inappropriate due to the multiple family residences within a former farmstead complex on that portion of the property. R-4 zoning appears most appropriate for that portion of the property. However, R-4 zoning would suggest consideration of a deed restriction preventing further residential development and require variances from the Board of Adjustment. B. Zoning and planning staff are prepared to_meet with the Applicant to develop the most ? -1 appropriate erin ning alternative for the property now proposed_for RH-4. In advance of that �W. g, staff requests that the applicant prepare a sit plan for that property, drawn to scale and showing the exact locations of all buildings, other structures, parking areas, and septic tanks and drain fields. The specific uses for the storage building and the remainder of the property should also be identified. C. Staff suggests that ZNR action on this petition be delayed until staff and the applicant can determine the most appropriate zoning district(s) for the portion of the property now proposed for RH-4 zoning.
