• -13 David E Parris 8512 Highway 19 Cross Plains, WI 53528 (608) 798-3184 To the Dane County Board: This Petition to rezone land is made by my wife, Jeanne M. Parris, and myself. We live on 140 acres in the Town of Berry (section 3) which we purchased in 1990. We wish to sell a parcel of approximately 14 acres, of wooded land, for the purpose of constructing one single family home. We have been working in cooperation with the Berry Township Planning Committee to ensure our plans comply with the Berry Township Land Use Plan. We recently received their approval , and the approval of the Town Board, to proceed with this petition for rezoning. The access will be at least 66 feet wide at all points, from Weatherwood Road (a town road) , and a part of the parcel rather than an easement. This is the wish of the township. We have had a topographical map showing the proposed driveway course drawn up by Carl Lochner, president of Boehnen, Inc. , an excavation company based in Cross Plains. This course is at a 7% grade, well under the Township limit of 12%. A shorter, but slightly steeper driveway would be possible. Jody Meinhoitz, of Meinholtz Excavating, in Waunakee, has identified some sites where he believes successful perk tests are likely. Neighbors next to the proposed site, at the same elevation, say their well depth is 260 feet. They have also supported with our wish to sell this parcel as a homesite. LEGAL DESCRIPTION: aoo' Attached please find a rough legal description, and a 1" = 499' scale drawing ; we will have the Certified Survey done as soon as the leaves are off the trees this fall , by Royal Oak Engineering. It is already scheduled, per Arden Sandsness. The actual path of the driveway will be determined then, which will determine one of the boundaries of the parcel , which will determine the minimum size of the lot. In any event, it seems clear that the Parcel size will fall between 8 and 16 acres. SOIL CLASSIFICATION:
