• <br /> Analysis : <br /> Land Use: Proposed rezone and CSM increases the residential <br /> density in this neighborhood by 40% (increasing to 7 residential <br /> lots from 5) . This area is rural non-farm residential area <br /> preceding the adoption of A-i Exclusive Zoning. The Proposed <br /> development area does not qualify as an "infill" site since it is <br /> not adjoined on 51% of its perimeter by existing development. <br /> Present density of the surrounding area is approximately 2 <br /> dwelling units per 35 acres- -twice the town standard. <br /> Site & Lotting: <br /> Applicant has not submitted acceptable information on which to <br /> form an official conclusion as to the proposed preliminary CSM. <br /> Based on the hand drawn sketch by the applicant, the following <br /> comments are offered for considerations: <br /> 1. Proposed Lot 3 (RH-i Zoning) containing existing <br /> residence does not appear to satisfy requirements of <br /> the Dane County Zoning Ordinance for lot width. <br /> 2. Proposed Lot 1 (Northerly) does not appear to have <br /> sufficient frontage on a public road. <br /> Traffic: The addition of 2 residential units will not create <br /> traffic impacts that exceed the capacity on Hawk Trail or Grinde <br /> Road. <br /> Environmental : Due to the elevation of this site, surface or <br /> subsurface drainage problems do not appear likely. The required <br /> 75 ' setback from the wetlands should provide sufficient <br /> environmental resource protection provided that this buffer area <br /> is further restricted from development of accessory buildings and <br /> any site disturbing activities including landscaping, lawns, and <br /> the application of lawn care products . <br /> Statutory Compliance: <br /> Wisconsin Statutes, Chapter 91 Farmland Preservation, does not <br /> prohibit rezoning from an exclusive agricultural district. It <br /> does, however, require that the local authority make specific <br /> findings that consider that: <br /> a. adequate public facilities to accommodate development <br /> either exist or will be provided in a reasonable time <br /> b. the provision of public facilities will not place an <br /> un-reasonable burden on the local government, and <br /> c. the land proposed for rezoning is suitable for <br /> development and will not create negative impacts on the <br /> environment. <br />
