r - <br /> there is 1.5 acres of Al land on this 2 acre parcel I am very curious to know why <br /> he can get approval where we could not. <br /> There is also the issue of allowing someone to build a residence in a waterway. <br /> Of course, if the terrace was removed, as will likely happen if this property is <br /> rezoned, this won't be an issue, erosion will! <br /> Another concern is the fact that a short while ago (within the last 2 years) I <br /> attended a Dane County Board meeting where Mr. Burrell unequivocally stated <br /> that a parcel that he was rezoning at that time, to the south of our property, was <br /> "the last parcel he was allowed to rezone from that farm". if this indeed was the <br /> case how is it that now he is requesting to rezone another parcel? If this wasn't <br /> the case, why did he state it at that time? <br /> I may sound like a hypocrite since we moved into this beautiful area and now <br /> could be perceived as wanting to prevent others from doing the same. It is true <br /> that one of the reasons I moved to the country was that being raised on a farm I <br /> like my privacy. However, the real reasons I am pursuing this issue are twofold. <br /> First, THIS IS AMERICA. In this great country we are supoposed to have one set <br /> of rules / laws that applies to everyone. Second, we as a community, a state <br /> and a nation cannot allow housing to be built on prime farmland. The township <br /> has an excellent land use plan. Allowing Mr. Burrell to go forward with this <br /> rezoning will turn it into a sham and set a precedent for rampant future misuse. A <br /> day will come when our children and our children's children will thank us for <br /> guarding this valuable resource because it will likely mean the difference <br /> between life and death! Please consider this in your decision making process. <br /> Thank You <br /> Sincerely , <br /> Rod Dahlen <br />
