t Dane County Regional Planning Commission <br /> mission <br /> ~4. I ; 217 S. Hamilton St., Suite 403, Madison, Wisconsin 53703-3238 Tel. 608/266-4137 <br /> on <br /> L° 1J l U 1' MEMORANDUM <br /> TO: Dane County Zoning and Natural Resources Committee <br /> FROM: Thomas L. Smiley, Director '' -= <br /> Community and Regional Development-Planning <br /> DATE: June 22, 1993 <br /> RE: Petition 5670 - Town of Christiana <br /> At the June 8 public hearing, our staff comments noted that this site is in an agricultural <br /> preservation area and the density policy did not allow for the creation of additional parcels. <br /> The Town's comments indicated that this was designated as a residential development area, and <br /> therefore the petition is consistent with their plan. <br /> The Committee asked that I recheck the plan to see what happened. <br /> The map adopted by Dane County and included as a part of the Dane County Farmland <br /> Preservation Plan clearly shows this site as an agricultural preservation area. <br /> I have talked with Mr. Lien, the Town Chairman, who says they have a colored plan map which <br /> clearly shows this area for residential development. He says several of the parcels had been <br /> created at the time of plan adoption; therefore, they designated it for development. I cannot find <br /> any file notes to confirm or refute the difference in the maps. <br /> This is something that clearly needs to be corrected on the maps to insure town and county maps <br /> are the same. <br /> Action on this petition is a judgment call. The soils have lower agricultural productivity, and <br /> therefore such a designation is not impacting productive farmland. <br /> TLS:lel <br /> RPC <br />
