The proposed residential lots will be used by family members. The remaining acreage of the 40-acre site is <br /> proposed to be transferred to the surrounding -400-acre Ballweg family farm. <br /> OBSERVATIONS: There is an existing residence on the 40-acre property. The house was constructed prior to the <br /> adoption of A-1 Exclusive Zoning. The proposal covers all the wooded area on the property. All other areas are being <br /> cropped. There are 30% slopes covering a majority of the proposed Lots 2 & 3. No other sensitive environmental <br /> features observed. <br /> DANE COUNTY HIGHWAY: The existing driveway will need to be shifted 100 feet to the north due to visibility <br /> concerns. A joint driveway will be required for the cluster development. <br /> TOWN PLAN: The property is located in the Agricultural Preservation Area. As indicated on the attached density <br /> study report, there are 6 housing density rights currently available for the original farm. If approved, the farm would <br /> remain eligible for 4 possible splits. Note that the town counts all residences and rezonings out of A-1 EX as a split. <br /> RESOURCE PROTECTION: The Town of Roxbury discourages development on slopes greater than 20%due to <br /> complications regarding erosion control. <br /> STAFF: The proposal will require a waiver from the land division regulation due to the lack of road frontage for the <br /> lots. The County Ordinances allows this type of development contingent upon a shared driveway agreement being <br /> recorded which meets DCCO Section 75.19(8) requirements. The proposal appears reasonably consistent with town <br /> plan policies. Staff suggest the zoning be contingent upon the remaining ag lands being transferred to the adjacent <br /> owner (Jerome & Russel Ballweg) within 180 days of approval. <br /> TOWN: Approved with no conditions. <br />
