Chairman Dorsey called the hearing to order at 8:10 P. M. The agenda was read into the record.
Zoning Business: John & Jody O'Grady to rezone an 11 acre parcel of land from Agriculture to
Agriculture Residential. Location: The NE%4 of the SWl/4, Section 34, T28N-

Jody O'Grady, 630 Swedish Mission Road, River Falls, Wisconsin, told the committee that they wish to
rezone in order to create a minor subdivision.
Committee questioned whether the Town of Troy's three acre minimum lot size would be met, and Ms.
O'Grady said that there would be two lots of five and six acres, one with an existing house and a
proposed house for the second lot.
Discussion by committee on how an 11 acre parcel existed in exclusive ag zoning. Ms. O'Grady said that
this parcel was part of the original 35 acre farm of her mother's, and when it was split approximately 35
years ago, the 11 acres plus a 14 acre parcel her mother still owns, resulted.
Jenkins informed committee members that soils on the parcel are Class II and Class III.
Chairman Dorsey asked for further comments, and when receiving none, called for a motion to close the
hearing. A motion was made by Menter, seconded by Hense, to close the hearing. Motion carried.
A motion was made by Hense to recommend approval of the rezoning request from Agriculture to
