n 1 Town Board Planning Commission Page 2 April 30, 1996 removing all of the buildings from this parcel but for the existing single family residence at the south end of the lot, and transferring those buildings and the lands they occupy to the lands shown as Parcel C on the Plat of Survey. I have enclosed a sketch, labeled "Map B", showing the proposed boundaries of this new residential parcel. We would ask that this new CSM parcel be zoned Ag-2(2). As noted above, the current zoning on Lot 1, CSM 7403, is Ag-2(4). Given that this lot is only 2.98 acres, it is improperly zoned, since this classification requires a minimum 4.0 acres. This is the result of a rezoning done without our notice. The lands containing this parcel were once zoned Ag-2(4) at a time when a previous CSM containing this residence exceeded 4.0 acres in size. Apparently a Court determined that all of the Ag-2 zoning subclassifications in Dane County were illegally adopted and those classifications were voided out. Dane County subsequently re-adopted all of these zoning subclassifications, correcting whatever procedural irregularities had invalidated the earlier zoning. Parcels which had previously been zoned into these various subclassifications were replaced into those subclassifications, apparently without notice to affected property owners. During the period in which the old subclassifications were invalidated and prior to the readoption of those subclassifications, I obtained a new Certified Survey Map, number 7403. That map reduced the size of the previous residential parcel to 2.98 acres. I was told at the time that the property would be zoned RH-1, a legal classification for a parcel of that size. This is not what happened, however. I believe that this was an improper rezoning, given the change in the parcel's size during the interim of invalidity of those zoning subclassifications. Appropriately the parcel, given its size, should have been rezoned either RH-1 or Ag-2(2). II. SALE OF 63.88 ACRES, CONSOLIDATION OF AG BUILDINGS ON REMAINING PARCEL, AND REZONE PETITION WITH CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO CONFORM TO CURRENT USAGE We are planning a sale of approximately 64 acres of our land, shown as Parcel B on the enclosed Plat of Survey, to parties who intend to keep that land in Ag-1 Exclusive zoning. That sale will reduce the total of our remaining acreage in the two parcels referenced above to 20.01 acres. As noted above, we are asking to reduce the size of the existing CSM parcel from 2.98 acres to 2.01 acres. Assuming approval of that petition, the .97 acres removed from that CSM would need to be added to the remaining acreage containing the bulk of our horse/equestrian operations and buildings. Those remaining lands, 17.03 acres, are shown as Parcel C on the Plat of Survey. Once combined, those lands would total 18.01 acres of land. The .97 acres is currently zoned Ag-2(4), as noted above. The 17.03 acres is currently zoned Ag-1 Exclusive. Because the zoning of the two parcels is different, they cannot be combined without a rezoning so that all of the lands are zoned the same.
