Pamela Andros,AICP <br /> Senior Planner <br /> Dane County Planning and Development Department <br /> Room 116, City-County Building <br /> Madison, WI 53709 <br /> March 27,2003 <br /> Robert Witte <br /> 5711 Pheasant Hill Road <br /> Monona, WI 53716 <br /> Dear Robert, <br /> Attached is the Density Study Report and supporting documentation that you requested for the F. <br /> H. Witte property located in Section 29 of the Town of Cottage Grove. <br /> Given the policies outlined in the Town of Cottage Grove Comprehensive Plan/Town of Cottage <br /> Grove element of the Dane County Farmland Preservation Plan, there are no residential <br /> development units(RDUs),a.k.a. "splits",remaining on the identified subject property. <br /> As is shown on the attached density study report,the subject property was 32.6 acres in size at the <br /> time of adoption of Ag-Exclusive zoning(May 1982). Although the 1981 and 1983 plat books do <br /> not show them, 4 lots were created in 1977 via CSM 2646 (see attached). This left the remainder <br /> of the property smaller than the 35 acres required for a potential RDU. <br /> The town plan contains a Transfer of Development Rights (TDR)program that permits voluntary <br /> transfers of development rights from defined sending areas to defined receiving areas. The <br /> subject property, located in Section 29, is in the Conservation Residential land use district. This <br /> district is a designated receiving area in which an RDU purchased from a designated sending area <br /> (agricultural or parks/open space land use districts) could be developed. In addition, the town <br /> plan allows for flexibility for those who own more than one original farm. Please consult the <br /> town of Cottage Grove for further information. <br /> If you have any questions or comments, please don't hesitate to contact me at(608) 261-9780 or <br /> via email at andros @co.dane.wi.us. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Pamela A.Andros,AICP <br /> Senior Planner <br /> cc: Penny Ericson,Clerk,Town of Cottage Grove <br /> Enclosures. <br />
