FRANK R . AND ELIZABETH A . HOADLEY <br /> August 25, 1997 <br /> Zoning&Natural Resources Committee <br /> Dane County Planning&Development <br /> Zoning Division <br /> Room 116 City-County Building <br /> Madison,WI 53709 <br /> Re: Zoning Petition#6997 <br /> Hearing Item#21 <br /> August 26, 1997 <br /> Dear Committee Members: <br /> This letter is written with great reluctance because of the possibility of offending people who may <br /> become our neighbors through this proposed zoning change. We strongly support the right of the Loper <br /> family to receive a zoning change to accommodate a residence for a family member. <br /> We are concerned about the proposed site of this residential rezoning. <br /> • The site is currently productive agricultural land and has been consistently during the 8 years we <br /> have observed it. We are not qualified to judge its productivity relative to other land in the area. <br /> • Black Hill Road is a one mile town road connecting CH V to Lodi-Springfield Road. There are <br /> six residences, all on the north side of the road. With the exception of one residence which is <br /> 0.5 miles off the road and is completely hidden by the topography of Black Hill, all the other <br /> residences are built in woods and are essentially hidden by or well set back into trees. The <br /> residences of Black Hill Road are very unobtrusive with respect to preserving one of the <br /> famous "rural views"of Dane County. A residence on Black Hill Road at this location,set with <br /> a wide frontage in an open field,will be out of character with the other residences on Black Hill <br /> Road,all of which are on narrower,deeper lots (again with the one above exception). <br /> It appears that within this land parcel owned by the Loper family there are other potential house sites, <br /> which would still be on Black Hill Road,but be less obtrusive and not utilize productive farm land. We will <br /> welcome new neighbors to Black Hill Road whatever the decision of the Committee and ii. County Board is. <br /> Sinci <br /> # fp <br /> Frank It Hoadley <br /> Elizabeth A.
