The remaining land on the east side of County Highway F would be zoned <br /> A-4 Small Lot Exclusive Agriculture to provide zoning compliance. <br /> OBSERVATIONS:The property consists of 15%class I I soils. A ridge with steep slope topography separates the two <br /> proposed parcels. No other sensitive environmental features observed. No new development proposed. <br /> TOWN PLAN: The property is located in the town's agricultural preservation area. As indicated on the attached density <br /> study report, the property remains eligible for 5"potential development rights" (PDRs) under the town of Vermont plan. <br /> RESOURCE PROTECTION: No areas of resource protection corridor located on the property. <br /> STAFF: The proposal appears reasonably consistent with town plan policies. If the intent of the land sale to Prairie <br /> Enthusiasts is to include a PDR, the remaining eligible PDRs will be reduced to 4 on the balance of the original Code & <br /> Bless farm unit now owned by Mr.Wade. <br /> TOWN: Approved conditioned upon the warranty deed containing information regarding the potential of a housing <br /> density right on the property and necessity of the property to be evaluated to Town Plan Policies to determine if the <br /> property is suitable for residential development. <br />
