• <br /> 1 <br /> Bruce & Nancy Hoehne <br /> 4535 Garfoot Road, <br /> Cross Plains, WI 53528 <br /> March 18, 1997 <br /> Dane County Planning & <br /> Development Zoning Division <br /> Room 116 City-County Building <br /> Madison, WI 53709 <br /> Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, <br /> We received notice of a hearing for a proposed zoning change <br /> on petition # 6869, town section: Cross Plains 04 & 09 , to <br /> be held on March 25 , 1997 . <br /> We are very concerned about the proposed change for the <br /> following reasons : <br /> 1 . The land in question is part of a flood plain and drains <br /> into Garfoot Creek which is part of the Black <br /> Earth Creek watershed. The Black Earth Creek is <br /> a protected watershed. Please refer to the attached maps <br /> that are from the DNR. <br /> 2 . The change of zoning from A-1 EX Exclusive Agricultural <br /> to LC-1 Limited Commercial will set a precedent for <br /> allowing business development in an agricultural area. <br /> This petition was first submitted as a landscaping <br /> business , then a hand written reference to a home site <br /> was added to it . Now the second petition refers to a <br /> electrical business . Just what are these people <br /> intending to do with this land? Linus and Donna Schoepp <br /> have a quarry business and a cellular one tower on <br /> County KP . This would be a better place for a <br /> commercial business . <br /> 3 . This supposed electrical business is for Linus and Donna <br /> Schoepp' s son-in-law. He is a residential electrician <br /> and not a commercial or industrial electrician so how <br /> can this business be justified as being "needed to <br /> support agricultural production may be permitted to <br /> rezone in designated agricultural preservation areas" <br /> ( see attached staff comments ) apply to this petition. <br /> 4 . According to Dane County Zoning Ordinances buildings <br /> must be 75 feet from a creek and 65 feet from a road. <br /> This land is only 200 feet deep from the road edge so <br /> this severely limits the type of building to be put up. <br /> 5 . We put up a wooden fence along our road edge last summer <br /> and dug post holes 3 feet deep. There had been no rain <br /> for four weeks and these holes had water in them. The <br /> post holes were dug on land that has an elevation 4 feet <br /> higher that the proposed road edge construction site . <br />
