I I 1 t.- 1`1 i•.; is PETITION NO. L,"1 ci APPLICATION FOR CHANGE OF ZONING CLASSIFICATION TO: Dane County Board of Supervisors The Town Board of the Town of Oregon respectfully petitions the Dane County Board of Supervisors to rezone the following listed properties to the A-3 Agriculture District from their current designation as A-1 Exclusive Agriculture: Please see attached Exhibit A listing of specific parcels Background. In July of 1994, the Town Board of the Town of Oregon adopted two major policies. In the first, the Town adopted an amended Land Use Plan. This Plan placed approximately 83% of the Town within planning areas applying a development policy with densities at the Agriculture-Exclusive level. In addition, the Land Use Plan implemented a Groundwater Recharge overlay area additionally restricting rural development in areas of the Town in which groundwater recharge was a significant concern. The Dane County Regional Planning Commission duly reviewed and approved the Plan by adopting the amendment as an amendment to the Dane County Farmland Preservation Plan on November 10, 1994. The second action taken by the Town was, for the first time, to adopt A-1 Exclusive and A-3 zoning in areas then-zoned A-1 Non-Exclusive. A Petition was submitted to the Dane County Board consistent with the Town-wide adoption of A-1 Exclusive and A-3. During the review process, however, apparently through inadvertence, a copy of the Town of Oregon's original Petition and listing of properties were replaced with a Petition and property listing that failed to implement the A-3 zoning that the Town of Oregon had submitted. It does not appear that the Zoning Committee, County Board of Supervisors or the Oregon Town Board were aware of the inadvertent deletion of the A-3 rezonings at the time that they occurred. Zoning Petition 6123 was adopted by the County Board of Supervisors on December 15, 1994, approved by the County Executive on December 19, 1994 and approved by the Oregon Town Board on January 5, 1995. During a recent review of the Oregon Land Use Plan by the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection, the Department questioned the inconsistency between the A-3 planning category identified in the Oregon Land Use Plan and the absence of A-3 zoned parcels in the Town of Oregon. A copy of the Town of Oregon's original Petition and attachment describing the parcels to be rezoned are attached hereto as Exhibits B and C. Purpose. This Petition is submitted solely to correct the erroneous deletion of the A-3 rezonings that were supposed to occur at the time the County Board of Supervisors approved 931531-21eb-221096kka Zoning pet
