The overall concept of the PUD program includes the identification of appropriate densities and locations of rural residential growth while balancing the protection of agricultural, forest and wildlife resources through the application of "clusters" or "conservation subdivisions". This request also includes the creation of a new zoning district referred to as "Rural Community" that acknowledges unincorporated hamlet areas in Sauk County as mixed-use developments and allows for continued development or redevelopment consistent with the hamlets historic rural character. The primary intent of the amendments is to provide for density-based development options in accordance with applicable county and town as well as conformance with the Farmland Preservation Program and Sauk County's Ag Preservation Plan.
