Dane County Planning and Development Department Room 116,City-County Building,Madison,Wisconsin 53703 , Alf 111 Fax (608)267-1540 1nn Planning December 16, 2016 (608)266-4251,Rm.116 Records&Support Pam Widen (608)266-4251,Rm.116 1847 Sandridge Ct Zoning Verona, WI 53593 (608)266-4266,Rm.116 (delivered by email) Dear Pam, Attached is a density study report for property owned by Richard Thompson (et al) in section 23 of the Town of Dunn. The property is located within the town's Agricultural Preservation Area where development is limited to 1 dwelling unit (a/k/a "split") per 35 acres of contiguous land owned as of September 1, 1979. The property totaled approximately 18 acres in 1979. As indicated on the attached density study report, the property is eligible for use as a single building site. Please note that the town of Dunn does not allow division of such parcels for the purposes of allowing additional development. Most the property is currently zoned R-3 Residential, which allows for a single family residence to be constructed. Please note that R-3 zoning does not allow for agricultural uses, or the keeping of livestock. In addition, it has a relatively stringent limitation on the allowable size of residential accessory buildings (no more than 100% of the square footage of the residential building footprint). We generally recommend RH-4 (Rural Homes)zoning for rural parcels of this size, which allows for "farmette"type uses(ag & residential). I mention this as simply something for the owners to keep in mind as they consider their future options for the property. Please note that this density analysis does not guarantee or preclude town or county approval of a particular land division, rezone, or development proposal. The Town Plan Commission and Board review all development proposals and apply interpretations, standards and criteria as set forth in the town plan and other applicable ordinances to guide their decisions. Such standards include considerations for soil type, environmental features, site characteristics, compatibility with neighboring uses, proposed location of driveways and utility extensions, and proposed lot size and location. In addition, all zoning changes are subject to Town Board, County Board, and County Executive approval. If you have any questions about this density analysis, please contact me by phone at 267-2536, or by email at allanc countvofdane.com. Sincerely, Majid Allan Senior Planner cc: Richard Thompson, owner Erica Schmitz, town of Dunn Land Use Manager
