I COMPOSITE REPORT - Page 2 APPLICATION NO. 6549 STAFF COMrsIENTS REGIONAL PLANNING Petition 6549. This proposed residential division is in an Agricultural Transition Area of the Town of Oregon. Adopted town/county policy requires all of the following criteria to be met for rezoning: a) The activity allowed by the proposed rezone will not convert land that has been devoted primarily to agricultural use. b) The activity allowed by the proposed rezone will not limit the surround land's potential for agricultural use. c) The activity allowed by the proposed rezone will not conflict with agricultural operations on the land subject to a farmland preservation agreement. d) The activity allowed by the proposed rezone will not conflict with agricultural operations • on other properties. Comments related to criteria: These comments are corrected due to an error in the preliminary map received. a) This site appears to be a brushy knoll,which has not been farmed. The access from CTH"CC" passes through a small amount of farmland along the fence line to reach the site. b) Any time a non-farm residence is introduced into a farm field,there is a potential for limiting agricultural use in the immediate area. The access is adjacent to a non-farm residence to the east and the access is along the line fence which minimizes agricultural conflicts. c) The area is subject to the A-1 Agricultural Exclusive District and not a farmland preservation agreement. d) The active farmland on both the applicant's land and the neighbor's to the east is all south of the proposed site.
