DANE COUNTY APPLICATION FOR REZONE Item No.: 20. Zoning Petition # 4991 12; Thomas Fisher, agent for Robert Van DeGrift to change the zoning from the A-i Exclusive agriculture district to the C-2 Commercial and RH-2 Rural Homes district. Location: East of 6659-61 Whalen Rd Section 23, NE SE Town Verona Area: 11 more or less Acres Proposed use: Create 2 residence lots and 1 commercial lot by CSM. D.E.D. Yes. ANALYSIS: All but 3 acres, approximately, will remain in ag use. Change to LC-] will restrict use and alleviate concerns regarding C-2. CONCERNS EXPRESSED AT/AFTER PUBLIC HEARING: STAFF COMMENTS: Petition 4991 . This proposed residential and commercial development is in an agricultural preservation area of the Town of Verona. The adopted town/county policy is: "Non-farm residential development by certified survey in those areas with soils not classified as prime farmland at a density of one lot per 35 contiguous acres owned. The 11-acre site Is virtually all classified as prime farmland by the USDA definition, except for part of the area proposed to be C-2. Therefore the soil quality and density policy indicate the site should not be rezoned for non-farm residential use. The policy for commercial use Is that if it is not agriculturally related, it should be required to locate in the urban service area. This site Is over 3/4 mile outside (east) of the Verona Urban Service Area. Thus, If the proposed shop Is agriculturally related, it can be considered. Since so many incompatible uses are allowed in the C-2 district , it should be conditionally rezoned to the specific use if it is considered. However , if the use is not agriculturally related, the site should not be rezoned, since this area is far outside the urban service area. Co. Hwy. — Controlled access, variance and permit required.
