Jargo Road <br /> Zoning <br /> Deerfield, WI 53531 <br /> (608)266-4266,Rm. 116 <br /> Delivered via email <br /> Dear Michael, <br /> Attached is a density study report for property you own in section 13 of the Town of Cottage Grove. The <br /> property is located in the town's Agricultural Area, within which new non-farm residential development is <br /> limited to 1 "Residential Density Unit" (a/k/a "RDU" or "split") per 35 acres of land owned as of May 15, <br /> 1982. Your property was part of a larger—200 acre farm unit owned by L.E. Schlobohm as of 5/15/82. <br /> As noted on the density study report, the original farm unit was eligible for a total of five (5) RDUs. Four(4) <br /> RDUs have been used so far, leaving one (1) RDU remaining. Based on your ownership of approximately 80 <br /> acres from the original farm unit, it would appear that you are eligible for the one remaining RDU. <br /> As indicated in the town of Cottage Grove Comprehensive Plan, available RDUs may be used to create new <br /> residential parcels on your property, or may be transferred under the town's "Transfer of Development <br /> Rights"program to a"receiving area". <br /> Please note that this analysis does not guarantee or preclude town or county approval of a particular land <br /> division, rezone, or development proposal. The Town of Cottage Grove Plan Commission and Board of <br /> Supervisors review all applications to rezone, and apply interpretations, standards and criteria as set forth in <br /> the Town plan to guide their decisions. Such standards include considerations for soil type, environmental <br /> features, site characteristics, proposed location of driveways and utility extensions, and proposed lot size and <br /> location. In addition, all rezones are subject to county Zoning Committee, Board, and Executive approval. <br /> A copy of this density analysis is being forwarded to the Town of Cottage Grove Clerk, Kim Banigan. <br /> If you have any questions, please contact me by phone at 267-2536, or email at allan@countyofdane.com. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Majid Allan <br /> Senior Planner <br /> cc: Kim Banigan, Town of Cottage Grove Clerk <br />
