• <br /> residences, farm or non-farm, in the town count toward the one residence per 35 acre <br /> overall density." Obviously, these policies apply to the current zoning petition. <br /> Petitioners may argue that they want to create more A-1 EX zoned land. I would welcome <br /> that even though A-2 zoned land is virtually unrestricted for farming uses. <br /> If the petitioners purchased a 61 acre farm and it had no residence on it they would be <br /> required to demonstrate the appropriate level of farming income to build a home. Or they <br /> would be required to rezone 2 acres for a building site. Assuming that the 61 acres <br /> existed on June 6, 1978 and no building sites had been used both the town and county <br /> land use plans would allow a rezone. Restrictions to eliminate or reduce the use of prime <br /> agricultural lands would be imposed. Note that in this situation only one residence is <br /> allowed even though the land is zoned A-1 EX. <br /> The voting record on this petition, as submitted on the Town Board Actin Report, will show <br /> that approval of this petition passed by one vote at the Plan Commission and by one vote <br /> at the Town Board. This is very unusual for the Town of Pleasant Springs. I believe the <br /> confusion of the impact of the substantial income requirement resulted in an incorrect <br /> decision by the Town. Since there were no compelling reasons to violate the Land Use <br /> Plan the County should not approve this petition for rezone. <br /> 4Sincerely, <br /> l / <br /> Ke ne h Schuc , Chairman <br /> Town of Pleasant Springs <br />
