/ /4 7 <br /> Dane County Zoning Administrator <br /> Mazomanie Town Chair <br /> Roxbury Town Chair <br /> Dear Sirs: <br /> I understand a 25-year old restriction against subdividing has recently lapsed in Roxbury <br /> Township and some landowners are proceeding with permit requests for development. My <br /> concern is about potential development in Sections 13 and 24 of Mazomanie Township and <br /> Sections 19 and 30 of Roxbury Township. <br /> The Department of Natural Resources owns significant acreage in this vicinity(600 acres) and are <br /> currently undertaking expensive land investments to restore the historic Battle of Wisconsin <br /> Heights to its 1832 condition. This particular site has extraordinary significance to the settlement <br /> of the region and the end of the Black Hawk War was instrumental to the establishment of <br /> Territorial status and, eventually, statehood. Contrary development could have devastating impact <br /> on this precious resource. <br /> My purpose in calling this to your attention is to insure you are aware of the existence of this <br /> historical site and that its protection is a consideration in any decision-making for this vicinity. <br /> I am available to provide additional information about the site and would welcome the <br /> opportunity to discuss the matter further as you deem appropriate. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> David L. Gjestson <br /> Policy and Planning Analyst <br /> Bureau of Land and Facilities <br /> cc: Douglas Fendry-LF/4 <br /> Rick Wojciak-SCR <br /> Wayne Schutte-Tower Hill <br /> • <br />
