Public Hearing: March 22, 2016 Petition: Rezone 10955 <br /> 1 Zoning Amendment: <br /> Town/sect: <br /> Staff Report Blue Mounds <br /> • A-1 EX Exclusive Agriculture A-2 District to A-2(8) Agriculture Section 19 <br /> ( <br /> District <br /> Acres:12.44 Applicant <br /> Zoning and Land Regulation Committee Survey Req.

To:A-2(8) <br /> 1 <br /> A-1(EX) L �* .. � <br /> RH-2 >+ <br /> --- RH-1 <br /> r5 0 ' <br /> DESCRIPTION: Applicant proposes to divide existing residence from the -110 acre farm. <br /> OBSERVATIONS: There is an existing residence and several outbuildings on the property. A perennial stream is <br /> located on the southern portion of the property. There are hydric soils noted in close proximity to the stream and may <br /> contain wetlands. The east side of the lot contains slopes in excess of 20%grade. No new development proposed. <br /> TOWN PLAN: The property is located in the town's agricultural preservation area where development is limited to one <br /> density unit/split per 35 acres of land owned as of 8/26/1980. As indicated on the attached density study report, the <br /> property is eligible for 3 splits. Note that the town does not count separation of original farm residences as a split. If <br /> the petition is approved, 3 splits will remain available. <br /> RESOURCE PROTECTION: The southwest portion of the property is within the resource protection area due to the <br /> perennial stream. <br /> STAFF: The proposal meets the dimensional standards of the zoning district. The proposed lot takes up almost all of <br /> the road frontage for the original farm. Given that there are 3 housing density rights remaining, the landowner may <br /> want to reconfigure the proposal to allow for future additional home sites on the farm. <br /> TOWN: Approved with no conditions. <br />
