Minutes - Final Unless Amended by

Zoning & Land Regulation Committee

Consider:

Who benefits? Who is burdened?

Who does not have a voice at the table?

How can policymakers mitigate unintended consequences?

This meeting is being conducted on land now known and recognized as Dane County, Wisconsin. We

acknowledge that this land is at the same time the ancestral, traditional, & contemporary land of the

Ho-Chunk, Sauk & Kickapoo nations.

1. This review is specifically for the preliminary Certified Survey Map that was

submitted for review. Any alteration, modification and/or revisions made after

this review may be subject to a new submittal. County staff reserves the right to

require a new application based on the nature and extent of the changes. Lastly,

this conditional approval is valid for one year from the date of issuance.

2. Compliance with the Dane County Comprehensive Plan is to be established.

• No concerns. No net change in density and currently Deed Restricted

prohibiting further residential development. ~ Planner Majid Allan.

3. The document is to be completed in accordance with Chapter 75 of the Dane

County Code of Ordinances, S.236.34, Wisconsin State Statutes and any local

land division policies set forth by the township.

4. All owners of record are to be included in the owner’s certificate. Middle initials

and a certificate of consent by all mortgagees/vendors shall be included and

satisfied if relevant.

County records indicate the following owners:

• LINDA G SCHMUDLACH

5. The Owner’s Certificate shall include the following language:

• I also certify that this certified survey map is required by sec. 75.17(1)(a), Dane

County Code of Ordinances, to be submitted to the Dane County Zoning and

Land Regulation Committee.

6. The required approval certificates are to be executed.

12048 Ord Amend

12048 CAL Notice

A motion was made by KRONING, seconded by PETERSON, that the plat be

approved with conditions. The motion carried by the following vote: 5-0.

1. Rezone Petition #12048 is to become effective and all conditions are to be

satisfied prior to the recording of the CSM. (County Board approved the Petition

on July 18, 2024)

• Recording of an approved plat.

• Up to 50 residential lots may be platted on the SFR-08 zoned land.

• The TDR S (Sending Area) overlay zoning district shall be applied to tax

parcels 0711-123-8000-9 and 0711-123-9500-2 (Badger Farms LLC).

• The TDR R (Receiving Area) overlay zoning district shall be applied to the

portion of the proposed SFR-08 property corresponding to tax parcel

0711-101-8502-0.

• A deed notice shall be recorded on the receiving area property indicating that

the SFR-08 zoned property was created by a transfer of development rights.

• Two separate agricultural conservation easements prohibiting nonfarm

development on a minimum of 35 acres shall be recorded on each of the

following two identified sending properties:

a. Tax parcel 0711-364-9000-6 (Duane and Linda Skaar)

b. Tax parcels 0711-123-8000-9 and 0711-123-9500-2 (Badger Farms LLC)

2. All public land dedications are to be clearly designated “dedicated to the

public.”

3. All streets shall be graded and surfaced in accordance with plans,

specifications and requirements of the Town of Cottage Grove.

4. All street names shall be consistent with chapter 76 of the Dane County

Ordinances. Comments provided by Land Records Administrator/County

Surveyor Dan Frick.

• The new road names of HOMELAND DRIVE and FARMHOUSE ROAD are

approved with no duplication county-wide.

• CONESTOGA TRAIL and WOODED RIDGE TRAIL on one alignment will need to

change at a prominent intersection. The logical place to change these names is

at the intersection with FARMHOUSE ROAD. Please move the location of the

label of CONESTOGA TRAIL on the plat to between HOMELAND DRIVE and

FARMHOUSE ROAD.

• Recommend that the Town make this intersection a 3 way stop to further

indicate the change in road name. It is not good practice to have a singular

alignment change road name with no indication or change in traffic pattern /

intersection.

5. Utility easements are to be provided.

• Easements across lots or along rear or side lot lines shall be provided for

utilities where necessary, shall be at least 6 feet wide on each side of lot lines

6. As per Ch. 14.45 and 14.46 of the DCCO, an erosion control plan and a

stormwater permit shall be approved by the Dane County Land and Water

Resource department prior to any land disturbing activities associated with this

plat.

• Storm water drainage facilities of a size and design that will adequately

accommodate design volumes of flow and which will present no hazard to life or

property shall be installed in accordance with plans and specifications approved

by the committee.

• The subdivider shall cause all gradings, excavations, open cuts, side slopes

and other land surface disturbances to be mulched, seeded, sodded or otherwise

protected so that erosion, siltation, sedimentation and washing are prevented.

The committee may request the subdivider to submit an erosion control plan that

specifies measures that will be taken to assure the minimization of erosion

problems. The erosion control plan may be reviewed by the soil conservation

district to determine the adequacy of the proposed measures. Guidelines,

standards and specifications contained within the publication "Minimizing

Erosion in Urbanizing Areas" will provide a framework for the development,

review and implementation of the erosion control plan.

7. All owners of record are to be included in the owner’s certificate. A certificate

of consent by all mortgagees/vendors shall be included and satisfied if relevant.

County records indicate the following owners:

• DUNROVEN RIDGE LLC

8. The required approval certificates are to be satisfied:

• Town of Cottage Grove

• Village of Cottage Grove – (Extra-Territorial Jurisdictional review)

• Dane County Treasurer

• Dane County Zoning and Land Regulation Committee

9. The recordable document is to be submitted for review and approval once the

conditions have been satisfied. The Dane County Zoning and Land Regulation
