No Carr Living Trust Reason. Creating one residential lot Location: 176 N. Union Road A-1(EX) O f t EI .. RH-4 To: RH-1 _ A-1(EX) 4 RH-1 Z -..s.to E DESCRIPTION: Applicant proposes to create a new residential lot on the property for a family member. The subject property does not have a density unit available to it under the town policy. The proposal would transfer a development right from the neighboring farm property (Nelson) in order to allow the lot to be established on the subject property. OBSERVATIONS: The property consists of 95% class II soils. No other sensitive environmental features observed. TOWN PLAN: The property is located in the town's agricultural preservation area. RESOURCE PROTECTION: No resource protection corridors located on the property. STAFF: As indicated on the attached density study report, the subject Carr property is not eligible for any density units. Applicant has arranged to transfer a density unit from the Nelson property. Town plan policies allow for such transfers, subject to review/approval by the town board on a "case by case" basis. As indicated on the attached density study report, the Nelson "sending" property is currently eligible for 5 density units (in addition to the existing residence). If the petition is approved, the Nelson property will remain eligible for 4 density units. Proposal appears consistent with town plan policies. Staff recommends that a deed restriction be recorded on the balance of the Carr property prohibiting further development and also that a notice document be recorded on the Nelson property indicating that 1 density unit was transferred to the Carr property and that the Nelson property remains eligible for 4 density units. TOWN: Approved with a notation that the Nelson farm will remain eligible for 4 splits.
