COMPOSITE REPORT-Page 2 Application Rezoning 6754 DANE COUNTY PLANNING DIVISION STAFF COMMENTS I. BACKGROUND A. The petition has been amended since notice was given by the county. The original application attempted to rezone the area from RH-1 to the R-3A which is a duplex zoning. The applicant has now asked to amend the petition and the Town has considered the petition as a change to the R-1A. B. In 1993 approximately 45.3 acres were rezoned to RH-3 by the Carryl Company though this rezoning was an issue as to compliance with the Town Plan. The RH-3 permitted the subsequent division of the area into 3 RH-3 parcels. In 1995 Koua Vang petitioned to rezone one of these RH-3 parcels into 4 lots for residential use in the R-1 district later amended to RH-1 and RH-2. A CSM was recorded to complete the rezoning but problems were noted at that time and only two lots were created,one for each district, understanding that the RH-1 could be split further as had been intended. Applicant now petitions to change the RH-1 portion to the R-1A classification. C. The original application with its potential for duplex had raised several questions concerning the area which are no longer applicable. II. ANALYSIS A. The RPC comments are generally intended to respond to the original application and the proposed duplex rezoning. Most of the comments are no longer applicable since the rezoning has now changed. In general the proposed application is no different than the original application in that the intended result is to create 3 lots in this area. The request is made since the applicant and the Town have agreed to build a dedicated road in the area which consumes more area than had been contemplated when the original application was made. The net result of the road dedication and rezoning will leave area for 3 lots as was originally intended. B. The project has no new impacts aside from the development of a dedicated road from the original application. The only real change is that these new lots will be on both sides of the proposed road and not in a row on the north side as had originally been contemplated. C. The Town Board has already approved the amended rezoning with no other conditions. III CONCLUSIONS A. The application is already conditioned on a Delayed Effective Date. This is useful in that it provides an opportunity to require the street dedication which will prevent an unintended approval of more than 3 lots since a dedication of the required Right of Way takes the area which could have permitted more lots in the new zoning district. B. The Planning issues which were reviewed in the last rezoning are potentially as relevant at this time but basic consideration of the understanding which was reached by the applicant,the Town,and the County in the last rezoning would suggest that the proposed amended petition is providing the same situation as was agreed to previously and the same logic should apply at this time.
