#3680 - This is in the Agricultural Preservation District of the Town of Blue <br /> Mounds Plan where the policy criteria is: "The non-farm site should be: <br /> - land where there has been no history of farming activity. <br /> - a parcel too small to be economically used for agricultural <br /> purposes. <br /> - land inaccessible to farm machinery needed to produce and harvest <br /> agricultural products. <br /> - located where it would not create a conflict with nearby farming <br /> operations. <br /> - land which will allow construction under accepted erosion control <br /> measures of a road or driveway suitable for emergency vehicle <br /> travel and safe access of existing roadways. <br /> - land which does not disturb or destroy natural features such as <br /> significant woodland areas, wetlands, springs and steep slopes. <br /> - a parcel shape which promotes maintenance of adjacent agricultural <br /> parcels and which minimizes the length of access from a public <br /> road to the structure. <br /> - planned so as to avoid cuts into steep slopes for both homesites <br /> and driveways. <br /> - rezoned so that only that portion of land necessary for the <br /> requested use is rezoned." <br /> Comment: The policy criteria require judgment and answers to questions <br /> of whether there has been a history of farming; is 40 acres too small <br /> for agricultural purposes; will there be any conflicts; and is all of <br /> this land necessary for the proposed use? If these can all be answered <br /> positively, the proposal would be consistent. <br />
