DANE COUNTY APPLICATION FOR REZONE Item No. : 12. <br /> Zoning Petition # 5198 By: Kenneth Beghin to change the zoning from the <br /> RH-2, RH-3 Rural Homes and A-1 Ex. Agriculture district to the RH-3 and RH-4 <br /> Rural Homes district. <br /> Location: South of 1898 E. Blue Mounds Road Section 36, S 1/2 NW an W SW <br /> Town Blue Mounds Area: 25.7 more or less Acres <br /> 'rotosed use: Add lands to (2) existing lots. D.E.D. Yes. <br /> ANALYSIS: <br /> STAFF COMMENTS: <br /> R.P.C. — Petition 5198. These proposed additions to residential parcels are In the <br /> agricultural preservation area of the Town of Blue Mounds. <br /> The existing RH-2 and RH-3 parcels were approved several years ago. The areas <br /> now proposed for rezoning were not included because they were actively being <br /> farmed. <br /> The northern parcel proposed to be added to the RH-2 and combined as an RH-3 <br /> parcel Is currently used as a pasture. The soils are defined as prime <br /> farmland by USDA definition. <br /> The southern parcel proposed to be added to the RH-3 and combined as an RH-4 <br /> parcel Is a cornfield on which a crop was raised in 1991 . The soils are also <br /> defined as prime farmland. <br /> The proposed rezoning conflicts with the adopted town/county policy which <br /> states: "The nonfarm site should be land where there has been no history of <br /> farming activity." This Is simply taking 12.7 acres of farmland and adding it <br /> to residential parcels. <br /> E.H.D. - <br /> Co. Hwy. — <br />
