vo Dane County Planning and Development Department Room 116,City-County Building,Madison,Wisconsin 53703 Fax (608)267-1540 Planning (608)266-4251,Rm.116 36 Records&Support (608)266-4251,Rm. 116 June 24, 2016 Zoning Greg Rice (608)266-4266,Rm.116 1902 Skyline Dr Stoughton, WI 53589 (delivered via email: Greq @emi-mgmt.com) Dear Greg, Attached is a density study report you requested for property owned by the Herman and Julie Tiedeman Family Trust in section 29 of the town of Pleasant Springs. The property is located in an Agricultural Preservation Area as identified in the town's Comprehensive Plan. The density of development in these areas is limited to one lot, residence, or non-farm use (aka "split", or "density unit") per 35 acres of contiguous land owned as of June 6, 1978. The property was owned by the Tiedeman family and remains in the same configuration today as it was in 1978, totaling approximately 72 acres. Under the town's density policy, the property was originally eligible for a total of two (2) possible splits/homesites. As we've discussed, the town counts all residences toward the density limitation. As noted on the attached density study, the property remains eligible for 1 possible split in addition to the existing farm residence. It's my understanding from our discussions that you are interested in parceling off the existing residence onto a smaller parcel and eventually creating a parcel for a new homesite for your family. This proposal sounds reasonable, provided any new residential development satisfies the town's siting criteria. Please note that this density analysis does not guarantee town or county approval of a particular land division, rezone, or development proposal. The Town of Pleasant Springs Plan Commission and Board of Supervisors review all applications to rezone property or create new parcels of land, and apply interpretations, standards and criteria as set forth in the town comprehensive plan to guide their decisions. Such standards include considerations for soil type, environmental features, site characteristics, proposed location of driveways and utility extensions, and proposed lot size and location. In addition, all zoning changes are subject to County Zoning Committee, Board, and Executive approval. A copy of this density study is being forwarded to the town of Pleasant Springs for their records. If you have any questions about this density analysis, please feel free to contact me by phone at 267-2536 or by email at allancountvofdane.com. Sincerely, i'2�f M Majid Allan Senior Planner cc: Town of Pleasant Springs
