Town of Dane Comprehensive Plan Chapter Two: Agricultural, Natural, and Cultural Resources <br />Transfers of dwelling unit allotments between non-contiguous properties shall <br />not be allowed. <br />d. The maximum number of dwelling units permitted ("splits") shall run with the <br />land as parceled and owned on June 28, 1979. Changes and reconfigurations in <br />ownership do not trigger new allotments of "splits" per the density policy <br />(B) Petitions where portions of the original June 28, 1979 parcel have been <br />separated but not rezoned for residential development <br />e. Require a minimum lot size of at least 11/2 acres for any lot for non -farm <br />residential- development_• _ - <br />f The Town will calculate the number of "splits" based on the amount of acreage <br />currently owned. To determine the amount of land under current ownership, <br />the Town will use the total acreage listed in the parcel's most current tax bill.., <br />For an example under this situation, Landowner A purchases 65 acres from a <br />140-acre June 28, 1979 land holding (which has a maximum number of 4 <br />available splits on that 1979 parcel). The Town shall apply its density policy of <br />one "split" per 35 acres owned and determine that Landowner A has one <br />available "split" for the 65-acre parcel. The remaining 75-acre portion of this <br />1979 parcel will have 2 available "splits". <br />Rounding is not allowed. The number of acres currently owned will be divided <br />by 35 and the quotient will decide the maximum number of dwelling units or <br />non -farm buildings allowed, with no consideration of fractions. <br />g. <br />(C) Petitions where portions of the original June 28, 1979 parcel have been <br />separated and rezoned for residential development. <br />h. Require a minimum lot size of at least 11/2 acres for any lot for non -farm <br />residential development. <br />'i. the Town will calculate the number of "splits'' based on the amount of acreage <br />currently owned. To determine the amount of land under current ownership, <br />the Town will use the total acreage listed in the parcel's most current tax bill. <br />j. The T own will not exceed the maximum number of available splits permitted <br />on the entire June 28, 1979.land holding. For example, assume a part of a 105- <br />acre June 28, 1979 land holding (with a maximum number of 3 available splits) <br />has been divided by a certified survey map into two 10-acre lots and rezoned for <br />residential development. Later, Landowner B purchases the remaining 85-acre <br />farmstead. The Town shall review the development history on the 1979 land <br />holding, and determine that only one "split" is available on the 85-acre <br />farmstead because the other two splits for the 1979 land holding have already <br />been allocated. <br />5. When portions of a June 28, 1979 parcel are changing ownership, a contract of sale <br />stipulating the exact number of "splits" going to the purchased parcel and the exact <br />number of "splits" staying with the remaining parcel shall be prepared. Unless stated in <br />a deed, "splits" shall go with the purchased parcel. Such a stipulation should be <br />recorded with the Register of Deeds and notice should be provided to the County <br />Planning Department. <br />VANDEWALLE & ASSOCIATES 20 • Adopted: May 6, 2002 <br />
