Phelps <br /> ��'�;����1 01 County Executive <br /> ocoMS,-= <br /> III1 <br /> TO: Dane County Rezoning App)icants <br /> FROM: Richard J. Phelps - / /` Q <br /> Dane County Executive 1p <br /> RE Preserve Dane Campaign <br /> I <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 a opted 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 zoning. <br /> Specifically,I have stated the following criteia. <br /> 1 <br /> 1) I will not sign into law any rezonings that are clearly outside the density and development <br /> standards listed in the adopted town plan . I will only sign rezoning petitions that follow the <br /> basic standards in the county's adopted F rinland Preservation Plan and the adopted Town <br /> Plans it is based on. <br /> 1 <br /> The intent is to limit scattered developme tat higher densities than were agreed to by the towns <br /> in their adopted town plans and the count in its Farmland Preservation Plan. For example, in <br /> order to protect a Town's agricultural bas ,most Town Plans allow no more than one <br /> residence per 35 acres in areas zoned A-1 griculture Exclusive. If a Town Plan states that it <br /> will allow no more than one residence per 5 acres in areas zoned A-1 Agriculture Exclusive,I <br /> will not sign petitions that exceed that den ity limit. <br /> 2) I will not sign rezonings that allow any new unsewered residential subdivisions.A subdivision <br /> is a division of land into five or more parcels. <br /> This effectively will be a moratorium on n w unsewered subdivisions. It may be that someday <br /> we will find a way to organize rural reside tial 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 n w development of scattered,unsewered <br /> subdivisions. <br /> Thank you for your cooperation. If you have a y questions regarding these standards, please <br /> consult with your local Town officials or perso nel at Dane County's Department of Land <br /> Regulation and Records. qr` <br /> ili <br /> 0 V I <br /> k) l' <br /> • <br /> 210 Martin Luther King,Jr.Blvd.,City-County Bldg.,Madison,WI 53709 608/266-4114 TDD/266-9138/ FAX/266-2643 <br /> A <br />
