5379 Mariners Cove Drive <br /> #507 <br /> Madison , WI 53704 <br /> February 24, 1997 <br /> James VanDeurzen, Chairman <br /> Zoneing & Natural Resourses Commission <br /> % Jim Gregorious , Zoning Administrator <br /> RE: Proposed Fletcher Condominium Project CUP #1408 <br /> Gentlemen: <br /> My wife and I own a residence at 5379 Mariners Cove Drive, #507 , Madison , <br /> WI 53704 which is located in the town of Westport. As responsible concerned <br /> property owners, we strongly oppose the subject development for the following <br /> reasons, <br /> - Increased population density in an already congested area <br /> - Additional traffic and associated noise in an area of Westport with <br /> Poor road conditions. <br /> - Detrimental environmental impact. We frequently see deer, racoons , <br /> owls , fox, kingfishers , geese and many species of ducks. If <br /> development continues there is concern that this natural beauty <br /> will change. <br /> As owners, we are also concerned that a four-story monstrosity of <br /> a condominium squeezed into the limited space available will lower <br /> our property values. <br /> We would ask that the Dane County Planning & Developement Commission visit <br /> the area before the meeting on February 25 to see our small corner of the <br /> world. It is very close to perfect the way it is . Then , if you would, try <br /> to show us a little empathy in your decision. This could be your neighbor- <br /> hood and your concerns. <br /> As for alternatives , you might consider a natural green where we could <br /> continue to enjoy the wildlife we have. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> /i ales <br /> Tom and Mary Ann Ward <br />
