�.. THOMAS J. DOCTER <br /> Attorney <br /> 5101 UNIVERSITY AVENUE <br /> MADISON, WISCONSIN (53705) <br /> (608) 233- 2585 <br /> July 12, 1985 <br /> The Rev. Charles Beck <br /> St. Martin' s Church <br /> 5959 Martinsville Road <br /> Cross Plains, Wi. 53528 <br /> Re : Rezoning Church property to conforming use. <br /> Dear Father Beck; <br /> At your request I have discussed a variety of options with the <br /> Dane County Zoning Department in response to their July 5, <br /> 1985 notice of violation. <br /> To be conforming under the existing zoning ordinance the <br /> 20 acre Church premise should be rezoned to Agriculture-2, <br /> with a conditional use permit for religious purposes. Cur- <br /> rently the Church is non-conforming, but "grandfathered" , <br /> inasmuch as A-1 zoning requires a minimum of 35 acres <br /> If the above is accomplished then, simultaneously, the 1+ <br /> acre ball diamond would be rezoned to Recreational-1 with <br /> a conditional use permit allowing the lights and tournaments <br /> on limited occasions. <br /> When these two changes are made the Church property, as it is <br /> now being used , will conform. I might add that there <br /> have never been any registered or unvarified complaints <br /> with the operation of the ball diamond . The zoning in- <br /> spector happens to have participated in a softball tourn- <br /> ament at the site recently and felt obligated to correct <br /> an impropriety brought to his attention several years ago <br /> when an application to rezone was withdrawn. <br /> If you and the Board decide to make these changes, appli- <br /> cations must be submitted by August 6th. I will be happy to <br />
