.r N-12-1999 12:51 FRCI CITY OF VERONA TO 2671540 P.02 • : i; : CITY OF VERONA 111 Lincoln Street P.O. Box 930188 .~ 4 Verona, Wisconsin 53593-0188 Telephone: (608) 845-6495 FAX(608) 845-8613 January 12, 1999 Ms. Jeanie Sidling, Director Dane County Planning a Id Development City County Building,R)om 116 Madison, WI 53709 • RE: Zoning Petition#7436 -Ray Gust Dear Jeanie: Last night,the Verona C ty Council took formal action objecting to the above referenced request by Ray Gust to change tr e zoning on a portion of his property from A-1, Exclusive Agricultural to RH-1,Rural Homes. . t the direction of the Council, I'm writing this letter to provide an explanation about the rez sons for the objection and to request your assistance in resolving the issue. As stated in the application, the intentions of Mr. Gust are to "create a residential parcel for a grandchild". On the surf ice, this seems like a simple enough request and ordinarily, the City would have no objection: to the request. However,the issue is complicated by the fact that although the land in question is currently located in the Town of Verona, it has been included in the City's urban service £rea and is planned for commercial development in the future. Therefore, in order to comply with our master plan(which was adopted in November, 1998), both the City Plan Come ission and City Council felt compelled to object. However, if the petition is denied by Dan; County,neither Mr. Gust's nor the City's objective on this issue will be met. The dilemma is as follows: Currently, the property in question has a dilapidated mobile home located on it. Mr. Gust's intention is very simple;he would like to replace the dilapidated mobile home with a newer, more attractive model. When he asked the County Zoning Office for permission,he was told he would have to change the zoning and thus,he submitted the application in question. While the City of Verona voted to object to the request,we did so not to prevent Mr. Gust from replacing the mobile home. We objected because in the long term, the area is planned for commercial development Indeed the City Council supports Mr. Gust's intention to replace the dilapidated mobile home with an improved model but creating a separate residential parcel is contrary to the intended long term use of the land.
