• Page 3 of 4 Zoning stamped and approved for recording the certified Survey Map with the register of deeds office. On June 22, 1999 5:43 PM both the Certified Survey Map and Deed Restriction documents were recorded and accepted in the Register of Deeds office. Within a week or so of the June 22, 1999 recording of the Certified Survey Map and Deed Restriction, Eugene Copenhaver purchased both Lot 1 and 2 from CJ Vale. On July 14, 1999 Eugene Coppenhaver sold lot 2 of the Certified Survey Map to John Copenhaver. Eugene Copenhaver continues to owns lot 1. On October 31, 2011 John Copenhaver sold lot 2 of the certified survey map to Thomas M and Julia A Willan. On October 31, 2012 Thomas M Willan was informed by Dane County Zoning's Roger Lane that the Zoning on Petition 7341 was denied back in 1998 when CJ Vale failed to get filed the certified Survey map and Deed restrictions. There is nothing in the record from Dane County Zoning officially notifying CJ Vale, Eugene Copenhaver, John Copenhaver or anyone that the Zoning petition 7341 was null and void. Here are my questions I pose to Dane County Zoning: 1. Is it Dane County Zoning's position that Rezoning Petition 7341 is null and void completely? Or in Part? Please explain? Petition 7341 was rendered null and void by the Zoning A Division on December 9, 1998 for failure to comply with provisions of County Board Ordinance Amendment#7341. 2. Is it Dane County Zoning's position that Norbert Scribner #6668 had the legal authority on June 18, 1999 to approve recording the Certified Survey Map after the Statutory deadline of December 9, 1998 for accepting it had passed? Please explain? You bring up a A good point. I will have the information reviewed by Dane County Corporation Counsel to see if the signature should be retracted, given that it did not follow the adopted County Board ordinance. 3. Is it the position of Dane County Zoning that it has legal authority to accept the certified survey map as being legal and binding but not the Zoning change when both items were on the same Zoning Petition 7341, both were in violation of the conditional agreement and both documents were filed together at 5:43 PM in the Dane County Register of Deeds on 0 AJune 22, 1999? Please explain? Petition 7341 was rendered null and void by the Zoning Division on December 9, 1998 for failure to comply with provisions of County Board Ordinance Amendment#7341. The file shows that the zoning aspect of the petition was rendered null and void.0 A 4. Is it Dane County Zoning's position that lot 1 and 2 are legally split? There are two lots of record that do not have the proper zoning district assigned to them. 0 5. Is it Dane County Zoning's position that the Certified Survey map is a legal document under both State and County law? The Certified Survey Map is a recorded document in the Dane County Register of Deeds office. This whole incident regarding Rezoning Petition 7341 is an unfortunate for all parties. The Copenhavers, my wife and I purchased lot 2 in good faith with an understanding that it was legally split and Zoned RH-1 in 1998 by the Dane County Zoning Department. We want to resolve the legal matters regarding Petition 7341, but as things stand right now we have got to understand what the legal position of Dane County Zoning is? We cannot pursue a claim with our title insurance company until we know where Dane County Zoning stands on the legality of Zoning Petition 7341. I cannot refile a new Zoning Petition to correct the issues because the town will never approve their portion of this under the current situation. So I would like someone to respond in writing to my questions above so we can see what the next step is to resolve this unfortunate matter A petition to rezone a portion of property in the unincorporated area of Dane County may be submitted to the Dane County Zoning Division anytime during normal working hours. The application fee is$386, A plus$150 if there are any wetlands on the property. Attached is an application that identifies the pertinent information that will need to be submitted as part of the rezoning application. 1/11/2013
