Dane County Zoning and Natural • Resources Committee November 12, 1995 Page 2 This area is contiguous to the Town's residential core and has been contemplated for residential development by the Town for years. The parcel is designated for residential development and also is designated as an area proposed for addition to the Urban Service Area in the Town of Westport's Land Use Plan. The overall density of this development is less than the maximum density that would be permitted by the development district in which this parcel is located in the Town of Westport's Land Use Plan. The eight (8) duplex lots comprise approximately four (4) acres of land and act as a transition area from Woodland Drive to the condominium area. Similarly, the six (6) single family lots comprise approximately three (3) acres and are designed to be compatible with the existing single family development on the south side of Rankin Lane and also on the north side of Rankin Lane to the west of the Steeplechase project. Slightly over a half (1/2) acre of land centrally located in the project is proposed to be dedicated to the public as a neighborhood park. Town ordinances further require the developer to pay fees which will be used to improve the neighborhood park. The entire development has been designed to blend well with the existing surrounding development and to fit in with the rural and equestrian atmosphere. The condominium development will offer a unique range of ranch and two (2) townhouse style condominium units. Every unit will have its own two-car garage and separate entrance way. There will be twelve (12) three-unit condominium buildings and six (6) four-unit condominium buildings. The layout of the condominium buildings has been designed to maximize the views and the open spaces within the development itself. The density for the entire development is less than 3.5 units per acre. This development has been approved by the Town expressly conditioned upon it being served by municipal sanitary sewer and by the Town's new public water system. In fact, this development project is an integral part of the Town's first phase construction of the public water system and will have the effect of making the entire water system more economically feasible to the Town. In addition to municipal sanitary sewer service and public water, we have obtained letters from the Waunakee Area Fire District, the Dane County Sheriff's Office and the Waunakee Emergency Medical Services District indicating that this development will receive adequate fire, police and emergency medical services protection. Furthermore, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources has already approved the installation of the municipal water improvements for the site and has also approved the off-site stormwater management and erosion control plan for this development.
