A number of farm buildings would remain on the easterly proposed A- <br /> 4 parcel. <br /> OBSERVATIONS: The property contains a single-family dwelling and several farm buildings that were used for a <br /> dairy operation. The dairy in no longer in operation. There is an existing 172-acre nonconforming mineral extraction <br /> site located just south of Old Stage Road. No sensitive environmental features observed. <br /> NOTE: The A-4 zoning district limits the amount of animal units to 1 unit per acre. <br /> TOWN PLAN: The property is located in the town's agricultural preservation area. <br /> RESOURCE PROTECTION: No resource protection corridors on the property. <br /> STAFF: The proposal is consistent with town plan policies. If the petition is approved, it appears 3 possible splits will <br /> remain available to the Stoughton Farms, Inc. property. <br /> Staff recommends that approval of the petition be conditioned upon the final CSM boundary for the RH-2 lot includes <br /> the entire length of the existing driveway, and that, if necessary, lot boundaries be adjusted to ensure that all <br /> accessory buildings meet minimum setback requirements. <br /> Staff suggests placing a deed notice on the residential lot identifying the close proximity to the mineral extraction site. <br /> TOWN: Approved conditioned upon a deed restriction being place on A-4 lots to prohibit non-farm development. The <br /> housing density rights have been exhausted for this portion of the original farm. <br />
