The property is located in the town's Agricultural Preservation Area, within which the density of <br /> residential development is limited to no more than one density unit (a/k/a development right or"split") per <br /> 40 acres owned as of July 1, 1979. As you know, the property was owned by Richard Logan and totaled <br /> just under 160 acres as of 7/1/79. <br /> As indicated on the report, the property remains eligible for two (2) possible development rights in <br /> addition to the existing farm residence on the property. The town of Dunkirk uses "gross" property <br /> acreage (inclusive of road right-of-way), generally derived from tax records, when determining potential <br /> development rights. The attached report is generated using the county's GIS parcel data, which reports <br /> "net" acreage (156.31, exclusive of road right-of-way). A review of tax records shows the gross acreage <br /> of the property totals 159.3 acres. Please note that the town does not allow for the "rounding" up of <br /> acreage to yield an additional development right. As we have previously discussed, the existing farm <br /> residence on the property could be divided off onto a separate parcel and/or torn down and replaced, <br /> subject to town and county review/approval. <br /> Please note that this density analysis does not preclude or guarantee town or county approval of a <br /> particular land division, rezone, or development proposal. The Town of Dunkirk Plan Commission and <br /> Board of Supervisors review all applications to rezone, and apply interpretations, standards and criteria <br /> as set forth in the town land use plan to guide their decisions. Such standards include considerations for <br /> soil type, environmental features, site characteristics, compatibility with neighboring uses, proposed <br /> length and location of driveways and utility extensions, and proposed lot size and location. In addition, <br /> all rezones are subject to Town Board, County Board, and County Executive approval. . <br /> If you have any questions about this density analysis, please contact me by phone at 267-2536, or by <br /> email at allan(a�countyofdane.com. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> d <br /> Majid Allan <br /> Senior Planner <br /> cc: Melanie Huchthausen, Clerk, Town of Dunkirk (by email) <br /> Kent Falligant, Chair, Town of Dunkirk Plan Commission (by email) <br />
