Dahl Farm <br /> There are no RDUs remaining from this farm. The original Dahl farm was eligible for <br /> two RDUs. The original farm was divided off via CSM 10241. Per town policy, this <br /> does not count toward the total number of RDUs. One RDU was sent to the Roe farm via <br /> rezone #8632, and the second RDU was used to create parcel #071126485020. Please <br /> note that this parcel is an illegal land division. CSM 10241 created one lot, and then the <br /> owner of that parcel divided it via a metes and bounds description in a land contract <br /> (Register of Deeds Document #4958488 and deed doc #5048891). The 2.06 acre parcel, <br /> owned by Joseph Conway, now has incorrect zoning. A-2(4) requires a minimum of four <br /> acres. <br /> Hellickson Farm <br /> There may be one RDU remaining from the original Hellickson farm, depending on how <br /> the town choses to count one of the A-2 zoned lots, and it would go to Kirk & Heidi <br /> Eilenfeldt. The original Hellickson farm was eligible for seven RDUs. Seven prior <br /> RDUs have been used as follows: CSM 9984 (3 lots), Rezone #6172 (A-2 lot), CSM <br /> 11516 (A-2(4) lot), and two RDUs were transferred by the Vineys to the Roe farm under <br /> zoning petitions #8632 and #10280. Please see supporting materials included with the <br /> density study report for the Hellickson farm. Numerous parcels were deed restricted as a <br /> condition of approval of rezone #10280. Because the A-2 lot created via rezone #6172 <br /> covers a gravel pit (CUP #1839) rather than being an A-2 for a residence, the town may <br /> choose to not count their A-2 zoning lot as an RDU. If this is the case, there would be <br /> one RDU remaining on the Hellickson farm, and because parcel 071127395140 is the <br /> largest non-deed restricted parcel, (60.71 acres), it would go to the Eilenfeldts. <br /> Korfmacher Farm <br /> There is one RDU remaining from this farm. The original Korfmacher farm was eligible <br /> for four RDUs. Three were used previously per CSM 9804 (lots 1 & 2) and CSM 11829 <br /> (lot 2). It appears that the home on lot 3 of CSM 9804, as well as the residence located <br /> on the 17 acre parcel at 2846 Femrite Drive, do not count because they were created prior <br /> to 5/15/1082. It is very important to note that this property is now in the town's <br /> Commercial Development Development Area. As such, the familiar density policy of one <br /> RDU per 35 acres owned, no longer applies. Page 25 of the Cottage Grove <br /> comprehensive plan explains that "Non-residential development — and land divisions, <br /> rezonings, and conditional use permits for such development—may occur without having <br /> to meet the Town's RDU and TDR requirements". Please refer to the town <br /> Comprehensive Plan, and consult the town Plan Commission and Board, regarding how <br /> the town wishes to see development proceed in that area. <br /> For properties located in the Agricultural Preservation area of the town, as indicated in <br /> the town plan, available RDUs may be used to create new residential parcels on your <br /> property or may be transferred under the town's Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) <br /> program to a receiving area. <br /> Please note that this density analysis does not guarantee Town or County approval of a <br /> particular land division, rezone, or development proposal.
