GENERAL INFORMATION ZONING PERMITS: (Section 10.25 (2) and (3) A Dane County Zoning permit is required before a building or an addition to a building is started in the unincorporated areas of Dane County, a permit must be obtained be- fore the start of any excavating, filling or grading that will lead to construction. Buildings used exclusively for agricultural purposes such as barns, sheds, silos and for the storage of machinery used on the farm do not require permits except if they cannot meet the setback requirements or are located in a flood plain or shoreland area and either a variance or a special exception permit is required from the Board of Adjustment. Farm residences and garages for the storage of passenger cars do require permits. ZONING CHANGES: Petitions to change the zoning classification on land are filed with the Zoning Depart- ment. The Committee conducts a public hearing on those petitions, then makes a re- commendation to the County Board of Supervisors to either grant or deny the zoning change requested. The County Board then makes the final decision either to grant or to deny the zoning change. SET BACKS FROM ROADS: (Section 10.17) Two methods are used to measure setback from roads or highways, measurements are made from either the right-of-way (ROW) line of the road or highway or from the centerline (C/L) of the road or highway. The measurement that results in the greatest distance between the building and the ROW line shall be used. Class A Highways 100 feet from the c/1 or (Federal and State Highways) 42 feet from the ROW line. Class B Highways 75 feet from the c/1 or (County Trunk Highways) 42 feet from the ROW line. Class C Highways 63 feet from the c/1 or (Town Roads) 30 feet from the ROW line. Class D Highways 20 feet from the front lot (Roads within subdivisions that were line (ROW line) . recorded prior to the adoption of the Zoning Ordinance, July 1938) . Class E Highways 30 feet from the front lot (Roads within subdivisions that have been line (ROW line) . recorded since July 1938) . To determine the set back for building adjacent to Class A, B or C highways it will be necessary to know the width of,the right-of-way of the road or highway, this in- formation is available in the Dane County Surveyor' s office or in the Dane County Zoning Department office. All building, including agricultural buildings, are subject to the setback require- ments of the ordinance. There are special provisions for setbacks on corner lots in subdivisions, for in- formation on those provisions see Section 10.16 (5) (b) 2. �._ . - b -
