• <br /> • <br /> DANE CO Y <br /> f , ' Richard J. Phel s <br /> 4 <br /> iu t? County Executiv <br /> \,scoKS�" <br /> TO: Dane County Rezoning App icants <br /> FROM: Richard J. Phelps ` / " <br /> Dane County Executive <br /> RE: Preserve Dane Campaign <br /> I have recently announced my intentions to nforce the density and development standards listed in <br /> each adopted Town Plan and the County's .dopted Farmland Preservation plan. As you proceed <br /> with your zoning petition,please become a are of the standards listed in the adopted land use plan <br /> for the Town in which you are requesting a ezoning. <br /> Specifically,I have stated the following crit.ria. <br /> 1) I will not sign into law any rezonings tha are clearly outside the density and development <br /> standards listed in the adopted town pla.s. I will only sign rezoning petitions that follow the <br /> basic standards in the county's adopted 'arinland Preservation Plan and the adopted Town <br /> Plans it is based on. <br /> The intent is to limit scattered developm.nt at higher densities than were agreed to by the towns <br /> in their adopted town plans and the coun y in its Farmland Preservation Plan. For example,in <br /> order to protect a Town's agricultural ba.e,most Town Plans allow no more than one <br /> residence per 35 acres in areas zoned A-1 Agriculture Exclusive. If a Town Plan states that it <br /> will allow no more than one residence pe 35 acres in areas'zoned A-1 Agriculture Exclusive,I <br /> will not sign petitions that exceed that de sity limit. <br /> 2) I will not sign rezonings that allow any n.w unsewered residential subdivisions.A subdivision <br /> is a division of land into five or more par'els. <br /> This effectively will be a moratorium on oew unsewered subdivisions. It may be that someday • <br /> we will find a way to organize rural residential development in a way that does not damage our <br /> quality of life and force up property taxes But until we answer those basic questions I will <br /> strongly discourage,though vetoes, any ew development of scattered,unsewered <br /> subdivisions. <br /> Thank you for your cooperation. If you have .ny questions regarding these standards,please <br /> consult with your local Town officials or pers i'nnel at Dane County's Department of Land <br /> Regulation and Records. <br /> 210 Martin Luther King,Ir.Blvd.,City-County Bldg.,Madison,WI 53709 608/266-4114 TDD/266-9138 FAX/266-2643 <br /> Li <br />
