per 10 acre maximum, discussion was had about the alternative option of rezoning to Rural Residential 10. Dan made a motion
based on the findings of fact along with the approval of the property owners to recommend the town board approve rezoning
application 16-4412 from Agricultural/Forestry to Rural Residential. The motion was seconded by Linda. The motion carried
