At this time your parcel of 28 acres became a substandard parcel due to the fact that A-1 Exclusive requires a parcel to be 35 acres to be conforming. As a result of the blanket rezoning of the Town of Cross Plains to the A-1 E it can be assumed that other substandard parcels exist in the Town of Cross Plains. Other towns in the county have also rezoned in a similar fashion however other towns have amended their plans to reflect changes since initial adoption. As stated in my previous correspondence sections 10.123(9)(b) and 10.16(3) of the Dane County Zoning Ordinance allow for continued use under the existing zoning classification even though the dimensional standards of that zoning zoning district are not being met.. Relative to your reference of section 10.123 (1) (b) and the provision of productive farmland this also is an issue where your lands may not fall into this catergory however as a result of the blanket zoning your parcel was zoned as A-1 E. As previously indicated there is nothing within the ordinance that can change the zoning of your land no matter how incompatible you may think it is with the A-1 E zoning district. The only mechanism is through legislative process as prescribed in section 59.97 of the Wisconsin State Statutes. Relative to section 10.28 of the Dane County Zoning Ordinance this section provides a clause where the narrative provisions of all county ordinances in affect at this time which are in conflict with the terms of this ordinance are repealed or voided. This is with respect to narrative provisions in other ordinances that may be in some cases less restrictive or may relate to out dated State Administrative Codes and/or Wisconsin State Statutes. This provision by no means is intended to imply the repealing of zoning districts or the zoning classification on a given parcel_of land. This can again only be accomplished through the legislative process as provided for in the statutes.
