The KrD2 soil in the northwest has a slope of 12 to 25%, which is <br /> quite steep. The KrE2 soil which occupies most of the northern part <br /> of the site has slopes in excess of 25%, which is very steep and has <br /> severe limitations for any type of development . <br /> 7. Other Factors <br /> a. The area to the south and east has been designated Unsewered <br /> Development District to recognize the pre-existing platted areas. The <br /> policy intent was not to extend development in all directions from <br /> this existing development . <br /> b. While there are many homes in this general area, this site is 3 miles <br /> west of the City of Middleton and approximately 1-1/2 miles east of <br /> the Village of Cross Plains. These would be the nearest sources of <br /> urban services. There are no plans to provide any urban services to <br /> this area. <br /> c. One of the arguments during the discussion was that this is considered <br /> " Infill development . " Infill development Is broadly defined as the <br /> economic use of vacant land In already urbanized areas where water , <br /> sewer and other public services are in place. <br /> This parcel is not urban, and the development to the south and east is <br /> a low-density rural subdivision where no urban services are planned. <br /> Generally " Inflii parcels" are surrounded by urban development . With <br /> low-density residential lots south and east , this site does not meet <br /> any infiil criteria. <br /> 8. Analysis and Evaluation <br /> This proposed rezoning has many basic conflicts with the adopted <br /> town/county objectives and policies for this area. <br /> Instead of allowing limited (2 units) of non-farm residential use on the <br /> less productive land as provided in adopted policies, this proposal <br /> divides the entire farm Into large rural residential lots, which <br /> precludes future agricultural use. <br /> TLS: lel <br /> Attachment <br /> 4 <br />
