the petitioner produced convincing evidence that the parcelization pre-existed the <br /> Town's Plan and exclusive agricultural policies; <br /> when the.division created a non-residential parcel with demonstrated necessity to be <br /> located in an agricultural area (eg. Ag Nutrition Services); <br /> when the division created a parcel for and existing farm house for mortgage or estate <br /> purposes and the remaining parcel was development restricted (eg. Mayr on Egre Rd); <br /> when the parcel crated a single new residential lot and the remaining/surrounding <br /> quarter-quarter section was development restricted - therefore maintaining a density <br /> not exceeding 1 du per 35 acres (eg. Rauls on Portage Road) <br /> Neighborhood Compatability <br /> Provided that the farmland parcels are restricted to no building, the proposed zoning and <br /> division will not have a significant effect on the small neighborhood or adjoining properties. <br /> Traffic <br /> Again, if the two farmland parcels are development restricted there will be no adverse traffic <br /> impact created. It is Town policy to require ROW dedications on all CSMs in order to <br /> provide for the eventual widening of the roadway and utilities including communications, <br /> electric and natural gas. Adequate ROW should be dedicated on Windsor Road in order to <br /> achieve a 100 foot ROW. No information has been submitted regarding existing and <br /> proposed driveway locations. Though no conflicts are anticipated with an additional <br /> driveway(s), the feasibility of a joint driveway should be reviewed. <br /> Lotting/Design/Zoning <br /> No detrimental impacts anticipated from the proposed design. It was suggested to the <br /> petitioner that 2 lots instead of 3 be proposed. Lot 1 (47+acres) would remain as Al-EX, Lot <br /> 2 (8+ac) would be zoned RH-3 to permit "rural" character uses such as keeping horses. Upn <br /> further dicussion, the petitioner provided justification for the long diagonal configuration of <br /> the Lot 2 as accomodating the drainageway and incorporating some non-tillable though <br /> potentially pasture lands in the northeast corner. Appropriate zoning for the site is A-2 for all <br /> three lots. Since A-2 does permit a single family residence a restriction should be recorded <br /> and placed on the CSM for lots 1 & 3 that prohibits all buildings. <br /> Environmental <br /> No information has been submitted regarding the location of existing and proposed septic <br /> fields and private wells. Since the proposal essentially maintains present uses no adverse <br /> ground water impacts are anticipated. <br /> 3 <br />
