Planning Considerations : <br /> Land use compatibility Proposed use is not incompatible with <br /> adjoining existing uses . Site plan proposes vegetative buffering <br /> and no setback variances have been requested. <br /> The Town Comprehensive Plan designates this area for Urban <br /> Residential (8- 12 dwelling units per acre) , and Neighborhood <br /> Commercial in the "neck" of land between the pond and the RR <br /> tracks . <br /> Environmental Protection This development will be served by <br /> public sewer and water. The proposed buildings are 75 feet <br /> distant from the water' s edge. There are no wetland or flood <br /> hazard areas mapped on this property. <br /> Traffic and Access A single access has been permitted by Dane <br /> County Highway (94- 10) and is located at the SW corner of the <br /> property. Multiple access to CTH CV is not desirable due to <br /> proximity of bridge and visibility concerns . A boulevard drive <br /> way is not desirable because of potential traffic conflicts. <br /> Parking lot should be redesigned to better accommodate turning <br /> movements of emergency and refuse collection vehicles . <br /> General Desian See 4/15 comments . <br /> Plan Compatibility <br /> The Town Comprehensive Plan outlines several criteria for the <br /> evaluation of plan amendments (and by extension) zoning changes . <br /> Is the proposed amendment correcting an oversight or an error in the <br /> original Plan? <br /> Has a change occurred in the land development market, or have other factors <br /> arisen which justify a new form or type of development? <br /> Has a new environmental protection method been found to be more effective? <br /> Have the community's desires changed? <br /> Is the Public's health, safety, and welfare preserved by the proposed <br /> change? <br /> In this case the proposed rezoning of apartments is generally <br /> compatible with the Plan. The resulting development will be 32 <br /> dwelling units on a 5 . 4 acre lot; a density of 5 . 8 units per <br /> gross acre. (in actuality, the lot is about 4 .7 acres of dry <br /> land so the effective density is about 6 . 8 du/ac. ) <br /> This zoning and plan amendment corrects the Land Use Plan Map by <br /> designating all the area to the east of the pond as UR-Urban <br /> Residential . This area is not accessible from the Neighborhood <br /> Commercial site shown on the plan map due to the pond and <br /> redesignating it to UR is appropriate. <br />
