Supplemental Comments - September Zoning Cases <br /> RPC Staff Comments 9/25/90 <br /> Petition 4871 . At the public hearing, several additional issues were <br /> raised. <br /> a. The applicant indicated the proposed R-3A parcel had not <br /> been zoned with the larger R-3A parcel due to an error . The <br /> previous application for petition #2908 approved December <br /> 20, 1982 has a description which coincides with the area now <br /> zoned R-3A according to Zoning Department staff. <br /> b. Wis. Dept . of Transportation expressed concern regarding <br /> noise levels for new residents since this is adjacent to the <br /> Interstate Highway. The purpose is to alert property owners <br /> and local officials to a potential noise problem this close <br /> to the Interstate and that noise levels will be increasing <br /> as traffic volumes Increase on this major arterial highway. <br /> Property owners and local officials could be faced with <br /> noise barrier issues and costs when noise levels become <br /> significant . <br /> Chapter Trans. 405 of the Wisconsin Administrative Code sets <br /> forth the procedure and criteria used by the department for <br /> evaluating and selecting site locations for noise barrier <br /> installation and for ensuring local participation in the <br /> siting process. Part of that process requires a commitment <br /> from the local government to control development along the <br /> highway. <br /> c. A sketch plan for land divisions within Petition 4871 plus <br /> the existing R-3A area has been submitted. The sketch <br /> indicates a public road proceeding directly west from the <br /> Jog in Cardinal Lane. It proposes six duplex lots of .92 <br /> acres each. Two lots of 1 .1 acres each are proposed south <br /> of the proposed road. This Is inconsistent with the zoning <br /> requested, since the RH-1 has a minimum lot size of 2 acres. <br /> The balance of the RH-1 area is proposed as a 6.5 acre <br /> corral and stable. This would be the area along the <br /> Interstate and would alleviate some of the concern for more <br /> residential development adjacent to the Interstate. <br /> A real concern in this area Is the density of unsewered <br /> development existing and approved by previous zoning. The <br /> applicant is proposing six duplex lots of .92 acres each, or <br /> approximately 39,000 sq. ft . This is less than 20,000 sq. <br /> ft . (approximately 1/2 acre) per unit . The lots to the east <br /> 1 <br />
