Township of Dunkirk <br /> DANE COUNTY <br /> STOUGHTON,WISCONSIN <br /> Dane County Ag Zoning Committee FEB 2 1 1992 <br /> ATTN: Mr. Norbert Scribner <br /> City County Building G ; ,, <br /> Madison, WI 53709 ZONING DIV. <br /> RE: Rezoning petition *5229 and Dane County Regional <br /> Planning comments. <br /> Dear Mr. Scribner and Committee members, _ <br /> The Town Board of Dunkirk and the Town of Dunkirk <br /> Planning Commission reviewed the above referenced petition <br /> prior to granting approval . <br /> It appears that Dane County Regional Planning proposes <br /> to be the interpreting agent for enforcement of the Town of <br /> Dunkirk' s land use plan. The plan clearly states it is to <br /> be used as a guildline and is not meant to be a rigid, fixed <br /> document which will not allow balances to be struck. As one <br /> looks at the maps referred to by Regional Planning it becomes <br /> quickly evident that almost the entire town is classified as <br /> prime agriculture or agricultural land of statewide importance. <br /> If this is strictly enforced , not only will there be no rural <br /> rural home district construction, farmers who have been given <br /> certain rights to parcel under the plan will surely be denied <br /> those rights. <br /> To answer Regional Planning ' s other comments: • <br /> The town planning commission and the town board sees no <br /> conflict with surrounding agricultural uses . <br /> The town planning commission and the town board sees no <br /> need for the development of a public road as part of this <br /> rezoning request. <br /> The town planning commission and the town board see no <br /> land being destroyed or natural resources damaged by this <br /> rezoning request. <br /> The minimum lot size requirement of 1 acre is being met. <br /> The purchaser of the property intends to seed the tillable <br /> acreage in alphalfa which is an excellent cover crop and is <br /> one of the best controls of soil erosion. The tillable land <br /> is currently row cropped in corn. <br /> It should be clearly understood that the rezoning request <br /> will allow the construction of one single family residence. <br /> The RH=4 rezoning designation was looked at favorably by the <br /> town because of the restrictions on number of animals and <br /> certain other. building restrictions. However, the A-2 zoning <br /> designation would fit this request as well and by its state- <br /> ment of purpose be compatible with other rural uses and would <br /> CHAIRMAN-WILLIAM D.OLSON TREASURER-BONNIE K.SMITHBACK <br /> SUPERVISOR I-ERIC J.QUAM ASSESSOR-DONALD HEGGESTAD <br /> SUPERVISOR II-JERRY J.SELLERS CONSTABLE-EDGAR ALME <br /> CLERK-TIMOTHY C.KLONGLAND <br />
