Mai <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> TO: Dane County Zoning and Natural Resources Committee <br /> FROM: Thomas L. Smiley, Director ?` <br /> Community and Regional Development Planning <br /> DATE: June 24, 1991 <br /> RE: Zoning Petition 5087 - Town of Verona <br /> Gary Werner , Dane County Project Coordinator for the Ice Age Park and Trail <br /> Foundation, Inc. , has forwarded a letter discussing the relationship of this <br /> property to the Draft Greenspace Plan. The Town of Verona Land Use Plan, as <br /> amended in 1987 and adopted by Dane County as part of the Farmland <br /> Preservation Plan, shows this parcel as a "rural non-farm" area, which allows <br /> for unsewered development as noted in our comments at the public hearing. It <br /> also shows the Ice Age Trail <br /> g proposed to run along the eastern boundary of the <br /> subject property. <br /> On June 19, 1991 , the Dane County Greenspace Committee took action on the <br /> study area and recommended the plan to the County Board for adoption as stated <br /> in Gary's letter . Thus, we have the adopted Farmland Preservation Plan which <br /> allows for the proposed development , while the Draft Greenspace Plan <br /> recommends study of the area as permanent open space. <br /> Since this area is currently under study and Mr . Burke has indicated <br /> willingness to discuss sale of the property for public use, it appears <br /> premature to proceed with the rezoning at this time. Some houses may be <br /> compatible at this site, but specific homesites should be carefully reviewed <br /> by Greenspace and Ice Age staff to insure compatible siting of the trail and <br /> residential uses. <br /> TLS: lel <br /> RPC <br />
