PCR2004007RESOLUTION #P.C. 007-2004
RECOMMENDATION OF APPROVAL TO REZONE THE BOWMIL PROPERTY FROM A –
AGRICULTURE DISTRICT TO THE R-3 COUNTRY HOME DISTRICT AND A 2010 PLAN
AMENDMENT FROM AGRICULTURE AND OPEN LANDS TO LOW DENSITY
RESIDENTIAL LOCATED IN THE NW ¼ OF SECTION 35
(TAX KEY NO. 2298.981.001/ LOOMIS DRIVE)
WHEREAS, On January 26, 2004 a petition for rezoning was submitted by Stephen Bowmil to
rezone the Bowmil property from A – Agriculture District to the R-3 Country Home District, and
WHEREAS, A Public Hearing for the rezoning has been scheduled before the Common Council
on February 24, 2004, and
WHEREAS, The petition would permit unsewered residential development on lots of 40,000
square feet in area and 150 feet of average width, and
WHEREAS, The 2010 Comprehensive Plan depicts the property for rural and agricultural use
consistent with the A – Agriculture District or RCE Residential Country Estate District, and the
proposal is for a 2010 Plan Amendment from Agriculture and Open Lands to Low Density
Residential, which conflicts with the above goal, and
WHEREAS, Parcels of the proposed conforming sizes exist in close proximity parcel, and
WHEREAS, The Common Council and Plan Commission have directed planning staff to develop
a new Zoning Code, and unsewered residential development utilizing R-3 zoning standards is
inconsistent with the DRAFT Chapter 40 Zoning Code, and implementation of the rezoning
petition would result in non-conforming parcels upon adoption of Chapter 40.
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, That the Plan Commission does hereby recommend approval
to the Common Council for the rezoning from A – Agriculture District to R-3 Country Home
District and a 2010 Plan Amendment from Agriculture and Open Lands to Low Density
Residential consistent with the RSE and R-3 zoning districts for the Bowmil property identified
by Tax Key Number 2298.981.001.
