OW Ilk <br /> Wisconsin Department of Transportation <br /> //IIIIIH�� TRANSPORTATION DISTRICT 1 <br /> 2101 Wright Street <br /> February 24, 1995 Madison, WI 53704-2583 <br /> Dane County Zoning Department <br /> Mr. Lyman Anderson, Chair <br /> Room 116, City-County Bldg t3 2 7 19 <br /> Madison, WI 53709 <br /> RECEiVEC <br /> l'AIIAIn r <br /> Subject: Zoning Petitions # 6175 and # 6179 <br /> Dear Mr. Anderson: <br /> I have been contacted by Bob Plummer and Mike Bacon for the Town of Rutland and by Pat <br /> Smith of Planning Associates last November in regards to the development in the area of these <br /> petitions. While in general, the Department does not have concerns about the zoning itself, we <br /> do have concerns relative to the impacts on our highway system. I had asked Mr. Smith to <br /> strive to eliminate the plumber's drive so as to make it no drives from the frontage road to <br /> Roby. Just this week I received a phone call from Mike Christopher representing the <br /> petitioner(s) stating that the drive would remain and be used for only emergencies. <br /> We have very serious concerns regarding the attitude expressed in this concept to keep direct <br /> access to Highway 51 in place. I seems to me that more than likely, it will be used on a daily <br /> basis. It also indicates that there is no total dedication to the total interior traffic pattern <br /> expressed in the plan as presented. <br /> Obviously this area is developing quickly and little time remains to adequately address critical <br /> access issues. Any requirements imposed towards this end by the Zoning Board will be <br /> appreciated. <br /> I hope that this will assist you in your further deliberation. <br /> Sir a - t+ <br /> Thomas'E. vans <br /> Planning Supervisor <br /> cc: J.
