• COMPOSITE REPORT - Page 3 Application No. 6752 G. It is possible that all five homes would be visible from CTH F. This is due to the topography and the openness of the proposed homesites. Responsible siting could reduce the homes' visibility from CTH F in this scenic area. H. The County Highway Department recommends that driveway access be taken from Sutcliffe Road if possible(see Highway comments). However, with the proposed land division design, it appears that owners of up to four lots may request access onto CTH F. The topography of the area and curvature of CTH F will make safe location of driveways a challenge. Highway staff may recommend joint driveways if driveways are absolutely necessary onto CTH F. After a favorable recommendation from the Town Planning Commission, the Town Board unanimously approved this proposed rezoning on November 5, 1996. III. SUMMARY A. The proposed rezoning meets the density standards for this area. The main issue surrounding the rezoning is the quality of the proposed land division design. This design would result in flag lots, driveway openings onto CTH F, a driveway crossing agricultural land and probably a stream, building sites on lands with significant slope, and potential visual impacts from CTH F. B. According to State Statute and recently adopted ZNR policy, the Committee may approve the proposed rezoning from A-1 Exclusive only after findings are made based on consideration of the following: 1. Adequate public facilities to accommodate development either exist or will be provided within a reasonable time. 2. Provision of public facilities to accommodate development will not place an unreasonable burden on the ability of affected local units of government to provide them. 3. The land proposed for rezoning is suitable for development and development will not result in undue water or air pollution, cause unreasonable soil erosion, or have an unreasonable adverse effect on rare or irreplaceable natural areas.
