MAY 241994 <br /> DANE COUNT, <br /> LAND REG. &REUADS <br /> May 22 , 1994 <br /> Dane County Zoning Department <br /> Room 116 , City-County Building <br /> Madison, WI 53709 <br /> Attn: Dane County Zoning Board <br /> RE: Zoning Petition 5948 <br /> The reason I am writing this letter to you is because at the <br /> public hearing meeting held on May 17th I felt I did not explain my <br /> reasons adequately. I have been farming this farm for 25 years , <br /> and before that I farmed it with my father. Being that the field <br /> is small and odd shaped it makes it inefficient to work, and it is <br /> a big problem when spraying chemicals . There have been very few <br /> days this spring when the weather would permit spraying so that the <br /> neighbors wouldn' t get the drift . Small children live in each of <br /> the residences in the immediate area. When I go to work the field <br /> I never know what I will find; cans , bottles, sticks, toys, and the <br /> largest being a 6 cylinder engine. This makes it very difficult <br /> work, and is very hard on my machinery. <br /> To address the problem raised about septic systems , the land <br /> really should have no problem passing the perk test . There are new <br /> systems put in the lots around the property, and with the size of <br /> each lot ranging from . 9 to 3 . 2 acres there should be plenty of <br /> room. <br /> I am a farmer and not a developer. I agree that agriculture <br /> land should not be taken out of production, but this land has <br /> always been difficult to work due to its location, and is in my <br /> mind an exception to the rule. <br /> Thank you for your consideration. If you have any further <br /> questions please contact me at 764-5773 . <br /> Sinc rely, <br /> --Yn c_W-_,., <br /> 0_,_2______ <br /> Gordon E.
