DANE COUNTY APPLICATION FOR REZONE Item Nos: 38.. <br /> Zoning Petition # 5054 Ilya Ray and Shirley Maurer to change the zoning from <br /> the A-1 Exclusive Agriculture district to the RE-1 Recreational district. <br /> vocation: across from 7399 CTH PD Section 8, NE NE Town Verona rea• 10 <br /> more or less Acres <br /> Proposed use: Golf driving range on 160 acre farm. D.E.D. No. <br /> ANALYSIS: <br /> CONCERNS EXPRESSED AT/AFTER PUBLIC HEARING: <br /> STAFF COMMENTS: <br /> RAC -- Petition 5054. This proposed golf driving range Is In an agricultural <br /> preservation area of the Town of Verona. The site Is surrounded on <br /> three sides with productive farmland. To the south are farm buildings <br /> and to the southeast is a major gravel extraction site. <br /> The relevant policy Is: "Those land uses and activities that could <br /> conflict with the agricultural use or adversely affect the long-term <br /> Investment In land and improvements In areas designated for farmland <br /> preservation shall be discouraged. " <br /> The site itself is 10 acres out of the corner of a hay field. The soils <br /> are classified as prime for agricultural production by USDA definition. <br /> While 10 acres for a golf driving range may not sound major , such <br /> isolated ventures often generate desires for additional related <br /> activities. There is no policy basis for approval of this petition. <br /> E.H.D. - <br /> Co. Hwy. — Petition 5054. CTH "PD" is under access control. Parcel shows an existing entrance <br /> just west of Shady Oak Lane. However, with its close proximity to the town road, we <br /> would not allow this driveway to serve such a proposed use. To relocate the access <br /> further west may present a vision problem. Access should be from Shady Oak Lane. <br />
