PETITION FOR REZONING A-1 AGRICULTURAL EXCLUSIVE TO RH-2 RURAL HOMES TOWN OF DUNN Legal Description The description is tentative pending completion of a Certified Survey. It includes parts of the SE-SE and SW-SE of Section 35, T6N, R1OE in the Town of Dunn, Sane County. A more exact description is provided on a separate sheet. Parcel Numbers Parts of parcel numbers 14-35-860 (SW-SE) and 14-35-861 (SE-SE) are to be rezoned. Propsed Use This petition is to change the zoning of a 6 acre m/1 parcel from A-1 Agricultural Exclusive to RH-2 Rural Homes to permit the severance of an existing residence from a larger farm property. Without this rezoning, the sale of the remaining 104 acres m/1 of vacant agricultural and marsh land would create a non-conforming use on the remaining parcel . The 6 acre m/1 property contains a residence and garage and several older farm buildings including a barn and tobacco shed. The out buildings are all older and no longer used or suitable for agricultural purposes. The 6 acres of land includes about 4 acres of cropland and 2 acres of area around the buildings. The remaining 104 acres consists of 50 acres of marsh, 4 acres of woodland and brush and 50 acres of cropland. It is divided into two parts by a town road. The 104 acre remaining property is being purchased by the Department of Natural Resources as part of a wetland wildlife management project. The property will be managed to provide nesting and winter cover for waterfowl and pheasants as well as other species and to accomodate outdoor recreational uses including hunting, trapping, hiking, and nature study and observation. The cropland may be rented to an area farmer, sharecroped or planted in permanent nesting cover. Purchase by the DNR will help preserve existing open spaces and important deep marsh wetlands. Time Schedule for Development The property to be rezoned is now fully developed. No development as such is currently planned for the 104 acres, only alterartion of land management practices. Land Uses in Area The land uses within 300 feet of the area to be rezoned is primarily agricultural with some residential use as part of larger farm properties. Area to be Rezoned The area to be rezoned includes approximately 6 acres subject to completion of a Certified Survey.
