AND BARRY MILLER, 3941 STH 19, TOWN OF BURKE Dear Mr. Gunderman: The above referenced rezoning application scheduled for public hearing by the Dane County Zoning and Natural Resources Committee on July 13, 1993, seeks to rezone approximately 2.2 acres from County A-1 - Agriculture district to County R-1 - Residential district to "buffer commercial development. " The proposed rezoning is within the City of Sun Prairie Extraterritorial Plat Jurisdiction and is across State Hwy. 19 from the area governed by the City of Sun Prai- rie/Town of Windsor Extraterritorial Zoning Ordinance effective July 1, 1993.

Approval of this request would set a precedent for residential zoning along State Hwy. 19 which would undermine the desire for agricultural land uses to the north as reflected by the current zoning. 2. It would appear that there is no benefit to rezoning the two existing residences to R-1 Residential other than the ability to require a 100 foot setback for any new additions to the kennel located to the south of the subject site. We believe reasonable conditions could be placed on any kennel expansions so as not to negatively impact adjoining land uses re- gardless of zoning. 3. The subject property is located within an area designated as a Rural Development Area on the City of Sun Prairie's ETJ Policy Map. The pro- posed rezoning is not consistent with this document in that it encourag- es additional unserviced residential development at non-rural densi- ties. The Rural Development Areas are so established to preserve agricul- tural lands and to plan for the timing of development of such lands upon the availability of urban services and sewer and water to accommodate development. The residential rezoning of the subject property would en-
