DANE COUNTY APPLICATION FOR REZONE <br /> Item No. : 26. <br /> Zoning Petition # 5134 An Badger Surveying, agent for Donald and Lois Marsh <br /> to change the zoning from the A-1 Exclusive Agriculture district to the RH-2 <br /> Rural Homes district. <br /> Location: At and North of 2660 USH 51 Section 10, SW SW Town Dunn Lull <br /> 15 more or less Acres <br /> Provosed use: Create (3) residential lots - 1 residence exists. D.E.D. Yes. <br /> ANALYSIS; Allowing the creation of only one parcel provides compliance with land use <br /> plans. <br /> STAFF COMMENTS: <br /> R.P.C. - Petition 5134. These proposed lots are In the agricultural preservation <br /> area of the Town of Dunn where the relevant policy is: "Restrict new <br /> residential development to areas with soils not classified as prime <br /> farmland providing the lot Is at least one acre or more In size at a <br /> ratio of 1 lot per 35 acre tract." <br /> The north and south proposed parcels are vacant farmland, while the <br /> remaining parcel has the existing farm buildings. The division of the <br /> existing buildings appears reasonably consistent with plan policies. <br /> The entire area of the three parcels, plus the intervening soils are all <br /> defined as prime farmland by USDA definition. <br /> The farm Is 80 acres; therefore, two lots would be allowable by the <br /> density policy, not three. <br /> A strict reading of the policy would say only the division of the <br /> existing buildings Is consistent with the plan. <br /> A second lot could be rationalized since it Is for the applicant to <br /> build a new home. Such bending of the policies has often been done. <br /> However, there does not appear to be any rationale to approve the third <br /> lot. <br /> E.H.D. - <br /> Co. Hwy. - <br />
