Petition # 6577 REASON FOR RE-ZONE REQUEST March 5th,1996 T his property has been pending for nearly six years.The Township Farmland Preservation plan of 1979 had begrm to he updated in 1989 and was finalized in July of 1993 . The Village ofI)eertie!d Master Plan was updated in September of 1992. 'f'his property lies within the extra-territorial jurisdiction of the Village of Deerfield and given the physical geography of the area and the importance placed by the Village on securing a secondary street access for the commtmity from 11.S. Hwy 12 & 18 these lands are clearly defined in both Town and Village Plans as being appropriate for residential developement and part of!he long term urban'-owth pattern for the area. The State of Wiscensm began planning the re-construction of U.S. 128c18 in 1988 and after long series of meetings and re-designs for the roadway they have finalized the location and elevations and have begun the "right-of-way " appraisal and aquisition process with affected landowners in the area inlate 1995. farts property is where the second access to the Village of Deerfield is defined. There are no public tirnds to construct any streets nor purchase land for roads The present property owners are willing to provide such a access point and roadway at this time. in order to pay for this public improvement the property owners are proposing to develope a residential subdivision on the 65 acres requested herein. It should be noted that there are no rural subdivisions available for ordinary citizens to build a home in the Town of Deerfield at this time . There are less than a handful' of residential sized building sites for the public to select from . The effects are severe market distortions with associated wasteful land divisions and related mis- allocation of resources by persons seeking to fulfill their housing needs . It is the belief of the petitioner that by working with the Village to achieve the long term public plan goals and fit into future municipal design all parties will benefit. Significant public works costs can be avoided at the same time along with reducing much of the pressure on scattered parcel developement on the Township lands and agricultural operations base. Excerpts from the Village and Town Plans and the D.O.T. are attached hereto for your consideration in this matter. Thank you. Sincerely; /./04 Walter J.
