Narrative for Zoning Change Request for Dane County Planning and Development Robin Mittenthal, September 14, 2015 608-772-1091 /mittenth @gmail.com Basic Narrative The property for which I am requesting rezoning is a rectangular field of 4.257 acres located on the south side of the north end of Butts Road,just east of Remy Road in the town of Montrose. It is shown as Lot 2 in the attached Certified Survey Map (CSM). The property is now zoned RH-2, a zoning classification which I have been told by Mr. Brian Standing of Dane County Planning and Development would not allow me erect an accessory building for my planned small farm unless I built a residence first (which I do not plan to do). The property is currently owned by Mr. Dennis Midthun. He has accepted my offer to purchase the property, but we have made closing contingent on my securing rezoning from RH-2 to some other zoning (either A-B or A-2, presumably). At their Aug. 24, 2015 meeting, the Land Use Committee of the the Montrose Town Board agreed to recommend rezoning to A-B to the full board. This seemed at the time like a kindness-- it would allow me to do piemaking and other small-scale processing that I may some day undertake -- but in a phone conversation on Sept. 14th, Mr. Standing said that he felt A-2 would also support my own potential small-scale processing plans while restricting undesired uses. As a result, I would like to request that the county rezone the property from RH-2 to A-2. I am working to try to determine what the Montrose board would like to do-- so far, from town board chair Mr. Roger Hodel, it seems that they will need to discuss the issue at their next full board meeting (in early Oct.) and (hopefully) agree to A-2 instead of A-B. I look forward to hearing how Dane County staff would like to proceed. Additional details about the property and my plans for it The brief legal description from Access Dane (parcel number 0508-262-8002-0) is as follows: LOT 2 CSM 10304 CS60/251&252 1/29/2002 F/K/A LOT 1 CSM 9460 CS54/38&39 10/11/99 DESCR AS SEC 23-5-8 PRT SE1/4SW1/4 & SW1/4SE1/4& SEC 26-5-8 PRT NE1/4NW1/4 (4.257 ACRES) The full legal description is as follows:
