(608)266-4266,Rm.116 <br /> Cambridge, WI 53523 <br /> Delivered via email <br /> Dear Ted, <br /> Attached is a density study report for property you own in section 35 of the Town of Christiana. The property is <br /> located in the town's Agricultural Preservation District, where the density of non-farm residential development <br /> is limited to 1 lot or non-farm use (aka "split") per 35 acres of land owned as of May 3, 1979. Your property <br /> was part of a larger landholding owned by Derald Jenness which totaled approximately 75 acres as of May 3, <br /> 1979. <br /> Based on the town's density policy, the original 75 acre property remains eligible for one (1)possible split. As <br /> you likely know, portions of that original 75 acre farm are now owned by two different parties — yourself/Ms. <br /> Fulton (-16 acres), and Mr. Laskowski/Ms. Groskopf(-60 acres). In the absence of documentation between <br /> owners indicating allocation of any remaining development rights, the town allocates them on a proportional <br /> basis based on the amount of acreage currently owned. As with a previous study conducted in 2007, I could not <br /> find any recorded documents to indicate an agreement regarding the allocation of the remaining split. Unless <br /> you have come to an agreement with the neighboring owners, or have some other form of documentation, it <br /> appears that you would not be eligible for the one remaining split. Please note, however, that the division and <br /> rezoning of residences existing as of 5/3/79 does not count as a split against the density limitation. <br /> This density analysis does not preclude or guarantee town or county approval of a particular land division, <br /> rezone, or development proposal. The Town of Christiana Plan Commission and Board of Supervisors review <br /> all applications to rezone, and apply interpretations, standards and criteria as set forth in the town land use plan <br /> to guide their decisions. Such standards include considerations for soil type, environmental features, site <br /> characteristics, compatibility with neighboring uses, proposed location of driveways and utility extensions, and <br /> proposed lot size and location. In addition, all rezones are subject to county Zoning Committee, Board, and <br /> Executive approval. A copy of this density study is being forwarded to the Town of Christiana Clerk, Kathy <br /> Wilson. <br /> If you have any questions about this density analysis, please contact me by phone at 267-2536, or email at <br /> al Ian @countyofdane.com. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Majid Allan <br /> Senior Planner <br /> cc: Kathy Wilson, Town of Christiana Clerk <br />
