COMPOSITE REPORT - Page 2 APPLICATION NO. 6299 <br /> STAFF COMMENTS <br /> REGIONAL PLANNING <br /> Petition 6299. This proposed residential plat is in conflict with adopted agricultural preservation <br /> policies in the Town of Sun Prairie. <br /> The relevant adopted town/county policies for this agricultural preservation area are: <br /> "- The uses of land permitted in the agricultural preservation district will be primarily <br /> limited to agricultural production and dwelling units which serve as the places of <br /> residence for the owners and employees of the farm. <br /> -Any land considered for rezoning to residential shall meet one or more of the following <br /> criteria. It should be: <br /> Land where there has not been a history of economically viable <br /> farming activities. <br /> Land which is too small to be economically used for agricultural <br /> purposes or which is inaccessible to the farm machinery needed to <br /> produce and harvest agricultural products. <br /> Land located such that there would be no possible conflict with the <br /> surrounding agricultural uses." <br /> Comments related to the proposal: <br /> A residential plat of 11 lots is obviously not farm-related housing. <br /> - This site was rezoned RH-3 in 1991, which was also in conflict with the policies. This same <br /> petition(Petition 6020 - September'93)was approved,but a plat was not recorded within the <br /> time limit. The farmland is not the issue; it is the amount of development which is the issue. <br /> - The area to the west was also zoned R-1 for a residential plat, and also in conflict with adopted <br /> policies. <br /> ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH (septic, etc.) <br /> None <br /> DANE COUNTY HIGHWAY <br /> None <br /> OTHER <br /> None <br />
