Ab <br /> As to the claims that I or the Town Board have been in any way arbitrary in our actions <br /> regarding rezoning and in particular to the other Commercial rezone which was <br /> mentioned I find these charges outrageous. The request to rezone for the vet clinic was <br /> passed unanimously. Ms. Gottschalk was not even at the meeting so I do not know where <br /> her knowledge comes from. The Town Board did require the petitioner to find a suitable <br /> location,which they did. As to the review of the structure we did have questions <br /> regarding it, in particular there was concern by the Town Board as to the kennel <br /> operation. I think any Town Board would have concern when dogs are boarded away <br /> from home and thus tend to be anxious and perhaps noisy. The petitioner addressed these <br /> concerns to the satisfaction of the Town Board. <br /> Finally, after the hearing my understanding from Ms. Gottschalk was that they were not <br /> aware of the deed restriction being put on this parcel to limit its use. It is my belief from <br /> talking to other people today that at least some of the people who signed the petition <br /> presented by the Gottschalk's were led to believe that this rezoning would allow any <br /> commercial use currently listed in the Zoning Ordinances. It is obvious from the Deed <br /> Restriction that I presented with our petition that we are limiting the use exclusively. <br /> I would like to request that the Dane County Zoning Staff review the names on this <br /> petition and contact a sampling of them to determine if their signing of this petition is <br /> based upon an accurate portrayal of what is being proposed. <br /> I have also enclosed a letter that I have sent out to the area residents clarifying what is <br /> proposed in this rezoning and inviting them to write to Dane County Zoning with their <br /> opinion on this matter. If the Zoning Department or the ZNR Committee feel that <br /> postponing this matter until May 19 is in order to allow for this research and any replies, <br /> we have no objections. I have also enclosed the information that I referred to at the public <br /> hearing for entrance into the records. <br /> Thank you, <br /> Ronald ;cobson <br />
