FROM : TOLJNOFMONTROSE PHONE NO. : 6084243848 Feb. 03 2016 12:24PM P7/8 Town of Montrose Land Use Committee January 25, 2016 Meeting Report All Members Present: Deb Brucaya,Junior Eichelkraut,Jerome Gobel,Tom Sarbackcr,Tim Schmitt Minutes are not official until approved by land use committee(LUC)members. Jerome moved and Tom seconded to approve as read the minutes of the November 2, 2015 land use committee meeting. Motion carried unanimously. Tim noted that the joint well, water and access agreements mentioned at that meeting during review of the request by the Glenn F. Jr. and Elaine M. Morrick Revocable Trust have now been executed. Susan Christensen was present to discuss the first agenda item, which was a request to exchange acreage and zoning districts between adjacent parcels located along Fritz Road in Section 6 that are owned by Susan and by Michael P. and Luann L. Zimmerman. The request is to reduce Susan's current 35.879 acres of Al-Exc. land by 26.97 acres,leaving 8.9 acres to be rezoned to RH-3. Simultaneously,the 26.97 acres would be added to the Zimmerman's current 8.316 acres resulting in 35.286 acres to be rezoned to Al-Exc. See chart below. Lot 1 Zimmerman Lot 2 Christensen TOTALS Lot 1 +Lot 2 Acres Now Acres To Be Total Lot l Acres Now Acres To Total Lot 2 Added Be Removed 8.316* RH-3 35.879* Al-Exc. 44.195 +26.872 - 26.872 + .098 - .098 35.286 to 8.909** 44.195 be Al-Exc. to be RH-3 *Per CSM 12190 ** Shown on JSD's revised drawing as 8.943. Exact acreage will be finalized during county review. The total number of Al-Exc. acres in the township will change only slightly as a result of this request. Because there continue to be no further divisions available on this land,the existing deed restriction on the Christensen land prohibiting another residence remains in effect but would be reassigned to the proposed new Zimmerman parcel. Deb mentioned that approval of earlier land use requests by the Christensens and Zimmermans stated that the converted barn residence on Lot 2 qualified as the farm home, which requires 35 acres or more of Al-Exc. land and the ability to meet the County's farm income requirement. Roger Lane at Dane County told Junior that it was acceptable to shift acreage,zoning districts, and the deed restriction between these two parcels, saying that the Zimmerman residence would be regarded as a pre-existing nonconforming use and would therefore be exempted from farm income requirements. Susan could not recall if she currently provides documentation of meeting this requirement. Junior moved to recommend town board approval of the swap of lands located along Fritz Road in Section 6 belonging to Michael and Luann Zimmerman and Susan Christensen as follows: 26.97 acres of Al-Exc. land will be added to the Zimmerman's existing RH-3 land to create a new parcel in excess of 35 acres, all to be zoned Al-Exc.
