April 23, 1997 <br /> James Van Deurzen, Chair <br /> Zoning and Natural Resources Committee - Dane County <br /> 210 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd., Room 118 <br /> Madison, Wisconsin 53709 <br /> Dear Mr. Van Deurzen, <br /> This is in regards to the property on Hubred Lane which is before zoning at this <br /> time. Frank and Marilyn Knipfer wish to rezone 1.99 acres (for a homesite) out of <br /> the 61 acre parcel which they are purchasing. <br /> My husband, Melvin Hubred Sr., and I own this 101 acre farm. We intend to sell <br /> 61 acres to Frank and Marilyn Knipfer. The Knipfer's intend to build a home on <br /> this acreage. They will use an existing field road for the long driveway to get to <br /> their proposed home site. We feel this sale/zoning change is a very good use of <br /> the land. The field road has not been producing crops nor has their building site. <br /> The Knipfer's have a great respect for the land and wildlife and wish to maintain <br /> the land in it's natural state. <br /> This zoning change/sale is important to us to maintain the integrity of our <br /> family. I was born and raised on this farm; I have raised my own family on <br /> this farm; I have lived here all of my life. One of my sons has lived here all of <br /> his life and is raising his own family here too. My husband and I are no longer <br /> able to do all the work required by farming; we must retire. Our options are to sell <br /> the entire farm (as you know, farms are not bringing top dollars these days), which <br /> will displace both my husband and I and our son Ronald and his family, or to <br /> make the only viable land division which will produce the funds we need to get on <br /> with our lives. <br /> In the event this land division and zoning change is denied, we will be forced to <br /> sell the entire farm and with it our way of life. <br /> Thank you for your onsideration in this matter. <br /> Evelyn Hubred <br />
