4 PETITION NO. (rr Q L, Le STATEMENT ACCOMPANYING ZONING PETITION Thomas W. Shellander Mary B. Ruedinger 5486 Schuman Road Cross Plains, WI 53528 Daytime Phone: 608-837-7386 We are requesting the rezoning from A-1 exclusive to RH-2 of real estate we own in Sections 22 and 23 in the Town of Berry, Dane County, Wisconsin, more particularly described as Lot Three (3) Certified Survey Map 2663. We are requesting the change for purposes of dividing the lot into two lots so as to permit the sale of currently unused land. The lot consists of 10.81 acres; a photocopy of the Certified Survey Map containing Lot Three is attached hereto as Exhibit A. The Certified Survey creating the lot was recorded in the Dane County Register of Deeds office on November 29, 1977. Exhibit B which is attached hereto was prepared by our surveyor, R. R. Sarko & Associates, Inc. , and shows the approximate division which we desire for the lot. The southern lot will contain between four and five and one-quarter acres. We desire to sell the southern lot to a prospective purchaser for the purpose of the purchaser's building a single family residence on the property. Our residence is located on the northern lot and we intend to continue living there. The southern lot is currently not used for agricultural purposes and is mainly woodlands. A ridge naturally divides the northern lot and the southern lot just to the north of the northern boundary of the southern lot, as drawn on Exhibit B, which makes the proposed division consistent with the topography. We believe that the division and creation of a single family residence is consistent with the sections in which our land is located which contain approximately ten similar single family residences. The Town of Berry Planning Commission has come to our land and has physically viewed the proposed division and has provided preliminary approval. The full Town of Berry Board has also reviewed the requested division and has agreed that our dividing off one lot is consistent with the Town plan. Preliminary perc tests were performed by Meinholz Excavating of Waunakee, Wisconsin. Meinholz Excavating has given permission to state that, in its (oral) opinion, the land will perc, although a full blown perc test has not been performed at this time. We understand that a Certified Survey Map must be recorded in order to accomplish our land division. The exact dimensions of the southern lot will be determined after negotiations with perspective buyers of the real estate. After such negotiations have been completed, a Certified Survey Map with the exact dimensions of the lot will be prepared and submitted to the Town and County for
