(See staff update on the following page.) OBSERVATIONS: The current RH-1 zoning boundary was created in 1995 under Zoning Petition#6321. The entire property consists of approximately 40 acres, although bisected by two roads, Highway 78 and Moen Valley Road. There is an existing residence and several outbuildings on the property. The proposal is to separate the outbuildings onto a separate lot. This lot will be used for a new single-family residence. The proposed lot does contain an existing septic field for the house closest to Highway 78. There is a navigable intermittent stream which bisects the proposed lot. Any future development on the proposed lot, within 300 feet of the stream, will need to be Shoreland Regulations. GIS information shows a high water table, ranging from 3'-5' below the surface, in the lower half of the proposed lot. DANE COUNTY HEALTH: The health department has expressed concerns of septic fields being on adjacent lands other than the house it serves. The department suggests that a septic easement be required to be recorded as a condition of approval. TOWN PLAN: The property is located in the town's agricultural preservation area. As indicated on the attached density study report, the property is not eligible for any additional development under the town's density policy. The shifting of the previous zoning boundary will not cause additional development. The Town Plan siting standards notes that a suitable septic system site should be identified prior to development. The landowner has evaluated the property and there are three suitable sites for septic systems; two for the existing residences and one for the new residence.
