TOWN OF MEDINA MARSHALL,WISCONSIN 53559 James Van Deurzen r; r Chairman E Zoning and Natural Resources Committee tJ �' 10250 E. Mathewson Rd. Mazomanie,WI 53560 MAR 2 7 D.C. PLANNING Y ": ,.. March 26, 1998 ZONING DIVISION Dear Mr. Van Deurzen, Yesterday I talked with Mr. William Kuhl regarding rezoning petition 7167 in the Town of Medina which came before your committee this past Tuesday evening. Mr. Kuhl related to me that your committee found the Town's request to have a deed restriction placed upon the remainder of his farm to be quite humorous. I am glad to hear that the Town of Medina is able to make the ZNR Committee laugh regarding what we consider a serious matter. Mr. Kuhl also indicated to me that it was stated the requested deed restriction was against county policy and/or illegal. I took over as Chairman for the Town last Spring so I guess I will claim some ignorance to this matter. I would be pleased if you would write me and explain in detail what the problem is so I can shed this cloak of ignorance. I would first like to establish what I understand the situation is so you can determine from where my ignorance stems. Mr. Kuhl is attempting to sell off a 35.8 acre parcel from his farm and the party purchasing the property intends to build a house on this parcel. This constitutes what the county establishes as one site. Dane County Zoning is requiring Mr. Kuhl to proceed with a rezoning of this parcel in order to build upon it. The Town has requested a deed restriction be placed upon the remaining parcels which states that no other residential construction is allowed without going through a rezoning process. (See attached letter sent to Dane County Zoning January 31, 1998.) The committee has indicated to Mr. Kuhl that this is either against county policy and/or illegal yet it is consistent with what Dane County is requiring to be done on such parcels in order to build on them.
