The property is located in the town's Agricultural Preservation District, where the density of non- <br /> farm residential development is limited to 1 lot or non-farm use (aka "split") per 35 acres of land owned as of <br /> May 3, 1979. The property was owned by Carl Rucks and totaled approximately 87 acres as of May 3, 1979. <br /> One prior split was taken per rezone #4833 (Fiedler residence on parcel 0612-253-9000-0). Based on the town's <br /> density policy, the farm remains eligible for one (1) possible split. The town of Christiana does not count <br /> separation of residences existing prior to May 3, 1979 as a split. It appears your proposal to separate the existing <br /> residence at 1860 Hillside Road and to also create a new—2 acre building site would be consistent with the town <br /> density limitation. If the balance of your property falls below 35 acres as the result of creating the two <br /> residential parcels, it will need to be rezoned to the A-4 district (small lot exclusive ag) and included as lot 3 on <br /> your Certified Survey Map. Please note that any new proposed development would need to be reviewed by the <br /> town of Christiana for consistency with their comprehensive plan. <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 /> allan@countyofdane.com. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> ---(i:::Zt e;:tift"......... <br /> Majid Allan <br /> Senior Planner <br /> cc: Kathy Wilson, Town of Christiana Clerk <br />
