PLANNING v DEVELOPMENT James Van Deurzen PROPERI r .::3ROS Zoning and Natural Resources Committee City County Building Madison, WI 53709 Dear Mr. Van Deurzen, My name is Sue Cottingham. I have been a resident of the Mariner's Cove Condominium Association for the past year and a half. I am writing to formally lodge a protest against the proposed development that has been suggested by the Von Rutenbergs (ref. CUP #1408.) I feel that this development would be detrimental to the quality of life out here and would create serious problems with over population, additional traffic problems, extremely unpleasant environmental problems, which would all contribute to decreased property values. When I bought my condo a year and a half ago, there was not so much as a hint that this could be possible. I feel that this development would be serious mistake! Why on earth would we need another condominium development when there are units within Mariner's Cove that haven't been sold? Some of these have been on the market for two and three years! I really object to the prospect of having the headlights from the cars of the inhabitants of the new development beaming straight into my porch window! Not to mention the obvious problem with the loss of the view, which was part of the reason that I bought this place to begin with! This development effectively makes it impossible for anyone to sell their property for years to come. Why would anyone want to buy a reasonably"upscale" condo when there's no view and a constant invasion of privacy? I encourage you and everyone on the planning commission to vote NO to the proposed Conditional Use Permit that will make this development possible. Cordially, ./Z-* Sue A.
