5. Agricultural, Natural and Cultural Resources
Agricultural Resources
Policies and Recommendations
1. Yes
2. Yes
3. What does “maximum” mean in this case. There should be a density
requirement that is based on zoning standards.
4. State what acceptable forms of practices are. Might this be limited
to large operations? What exactly is meant here?
5. Is this redundant? Could be combined with #4.
6. Should be merged with 4 and 5.
7. Yes
8. Yes-Should erosion control plan language be encouraged?
9. Yes
10. Should be a conditional use permit required with more than 100
animal units or be proportional to the amount of land available in
agriculture districts (like A2) other than exclusive Agriculture? Our
concern pertains to industrial agriculture in areas that are used for
light agriculture or “hobby farm” type uses.
11. Consider providing local limits and have a threshold for
conditional use permits, with animal unit numbers proportional to
acreage involved.
Natural Resources

limited to areas defined.

County will need to be a resource for the town.
3. Yes
4. Yes

would be approved township-wise.

10. Yes
11. Yes
12. Yes

have input.

7. We are not advocating or supporting commercial strip areas in town
of Jackson. Along County Highway A is the only area where the

8. d. is this applicable to a cluster? It appears to be
contradictory.

10. Why would you want to rezone? Potentially, a home-based business
that grows beyond an appropriate use in a residential district is in
violation of it permit (if a CUP), or the standards that define
customary home occupation. Violations should not be rewarded with a
re-zone to commercial. Home-based businesses should be consistent with
the plan.
