• Fred C. Teitgen, Chairman Town of Mazomanie Land Plan Committee May 24, 1994 Mr. Rick Schoenemann 6265 Woodland Drive Waunakee, WI 53597 Re: Rezone Application Number No. 5971 Dear Mr. Schoenemann: You appeared before the Land Plan Committee on May 16, 1994 and requested that the Committee consider your request to separate the existing residence from the farmland and change the zoning of the remainder of parcels 182 and 183 from Exclusive Ag to RH-3. The portion of parcel 182 containing the residence was changed to RH-1 zoning in 1992. See Exhibits A thru D. Upon questioning, you indicated a desire to have the possibility of creating three lots of RH-3 zoning classification for home-sites. A large group of neighbors opposed to the rezoning attended the meeting and presented a petition also in opposition. BACKGROUND Since March, 1979, the Town of Mazomanie Land Use Plan has restricted subdividing (parceling off) of agricultural land to not more than one division per 4-0 acres. In 1980, as shown on Exhibit D, the Schoenemanns owned approximately 53 acres, exclusive of Evergreen Acres. According to the Land Plan this property would have been entitled to one subdivision. Sometime in the 1980's, approximately 6.6 acres, identified as portion "C" in Exhibit G was parceled off and sold to Dan Behringer. In 1986, approximately 9.6 acres were parceled off per zoning request 3656. In 1992, the Committee and Town very reluctantly agreed to permit rezoning the a portion of the property containing the existing residence to RH-1. As shown on Exhibit F, the Committee was led to believe that the total acreage prior to rezoning was 39 acres, which would leave 37 acres after rezoning, thus preserving the exclusive ag status for the remaining property. In fact, this portion is closer to 34 acres, which is less than required for exclusive ag zoning.
