Town Board Planning Commission Page 3 April 30, 1996 The 17.03 acres are currently part of an 80.91 acre parcel, zoned Ag-1 Exclusive, which is presently being used as an equestrian riding and stable facility. At present it is a non- conforming, grandfathered use. Operations such as our horse/equestrian center are most appropriately zoned as Ag-2, under which they are conditional uses. We are asking to rezone the remaining 18.01 acres of our horse/equestrian operation lands and buildings to Ag-2 and are also asking that we be given a conditional use permit for all of the following uses. Please understand that we have been continuously and actively engaged in all of these uses during the nine years we have operated this facility, as was the previous owner, Jeanne's mother, for a number of years before we acquired the property. We are requesting that we be granted a conditional use permit for each of the following uses, pursuant to Dane County Code, section 10.126(3): (o) mss, horse boarding stables, riding stables, haramksleigh7zides, horse shows and similar events.

With the sale of 63.88 acres of lands, our parcel of 18.01 acres will be too small to remain in Ag-1 Exclusive zoning. Ag-2 zoning, which requires a minimum of 16 acres, would be the most appropriate zoning. The conditional use permit requested will do no more than permit our continued operation as a horse/equestrian facility, and would be required with the rezoning to Ag-2. As noted above, we are currently operating as a grandfathered, non- conforming use. The addition of the .97 acres to this parcel from the adjacent residential parcel is needed to place all of the buildings currently in use as part of our horse/equestrian operation into a single parcel of land. The result of all of this is to neaten up the boundaries and bring the zoning of our current operations into conformity with current rules.
