Supervisor Helen Johnson, Chair and Members Dane County Zoning and Natural Resources Committee May 4, 1998 Page 3 CellularOne calls to and from Milwaukee, Chicago and the surrounding areas of Southern Wisconsin and Northern Illinois . The tower is in compliance with the County' s policies to avoid the proliferation of towers and to encourage their shared use. The subject property has been a tower site for nearly a half century, under the ownership of Wisconsin Telephone Company, WTMJ, Inc . , and Milwaukee Repeater Service. The tower supports antennae of a number of public and private carriers, consistent with the County' s policy to encourage multiple uses of towers . The tower currently serves Cellular One, the State of Wisconsin Department of Transportation, two paging companies and numerous area business and agricultural concerns . The current access easement extends through approximately 300 feet of Mr. Grohman' s property (Lot 1 of CSM 5588) and some 1800 feet of the Tom Sisulak farm located in the South half of Section 25 of the Town of Pleasant Springs . During the year following approval of the CUP, Milwaukee Repeater Service has made contact with every landowner adjacent to the tower site in an effort to obtain an alternative access site . None of these owners is willing to grant an easement or right of way for this purpose . Mr. Sisulak has indicated that he does not object to the continued use of the easement in its present location. However, he and the other owners of lands adjacent to the tower site have indicated that they would not support the laying out of a substitute access road over existing farmland and woods. As a result, the owner has been unable to meet the condition imposed on the rezone of the property. The Deed Restriction provides for its amendment or termination in the manner provided in Sec . 10 .255 (3) (a) 2 . of the Dane County Ordinances . The owner respectfully requests that Dane County amend the Deed Restriction to delete the requirement that the owner discontinue vehicular use of its existing easement and obtain a new easement . The owner does not request termination of the remaining deed restrictions or CUP requirements .
