The subsistence level dairy operator will be retired at the end of 1997 and dairy fanning discontinued. This land is the final phase of the American Heritage development plan. This fifth phase has been pending since 1991-1992 through this period the Town conducted several review meetings and has directed that these reports and other data be provided for their consideration. From 1993 through early 1996 the Town went through the re-drafting of the Town Land Use Plan process involving extensive public hearings with regional Planning Commission reviews and approval. Plan adoption by the Dane County Board was done in 1996. These lands are one of two areas designated as appropriate"residential in-fill" areas in the Township of Cottage Grove. The other area is currently being final platted. The Town, has a plat criteria item in their subdivision ordinance which directs residential plat phases be restricted to about 20 acres at any given time. The public homebuyer needs to know the development sequence and how the fmished plan will look when it is completed. It is prudent public planning to develop and provide this overall design to coordinate the small staged series of final plats into a coherent neighborhood plan. It is evident from our marketing records and the public building records that the public market need is significant and has not been met adequately for several years. This project is appropriate land use. If additional information is needed to assist in review of this zoning request please do not hesitate to contact me. Sincerely, /Aft' 7,qZe ,_ Walter J.
