0/( o <br /> cPYYd/ft 74J L Alder, C to <br /> "- <br /> JUL 2 2 1993e ` <br /> July 13 , 1993 Ca <br /> Dane County Zoning Commission RECEIVED • <br /> ZONING DIV, 6(JL A/L. . <br /> C: Bill Flick <br /> Dane County Zoning Clerk <br /> Ladies and Gentlemen: <br /> Because of recent activities related to the expansion of activities <br /> around the Yahara Materials Quarry located on highway 12 in the <br /> Town of Springfield, my wife and I have realized that you have not <br /> been informed properly of some of the activity relating to the <br /> quarry. <br /> I spoke at the zoning commission meeting objecting to the granting <br /> of a CUP for the temporary asphalt plant to be located within the <br /> Yahara quarry . I alluded to the incidents that I will document <br /> with this correspondence. It will only be credible if we provide <br /> the detail that is attached. <br /> We have had significant damage done to our home as a result of the <br /> activites associated with the blasting at the quarry . The major <br /> damage resulted in us involving DIHLR' s Safety and Buildings <br /> Division to investigate activities at the quarry and pressure more <br /> responsible practices . <br /> Attached is the incident report filed with the Dane County Sheriff . <br /> Next you will find our letter to Yahara Materials informing them of <br /> the incident . No action was taken. More importantly you will find <br /> a report from Mr . Gates of DIHLR detailing his original investiga- <br /> tion and recommendations . Please note that Mr . Burcalow <br /> (Yahara' s owner) and Mr . Ahlgrimm ( the blasting contractor) were <br /> both present in our home during the investigation . Mr . Burcalow <br /> agreed to notify their insurance carrier . Through protracted <br /> cooperation and patient waiting we were eventually informed that we <br /> would have to start over with Alhgrimm' s insurance carrier because <br /> they were responsible . Eventually , Alhgrimm' s carrier hired <br /> "experts" who came in and wrote a report that denied the claim with <br /> "facts" that were in direct conflict with the documented state <br /> reports of the facts and damage . Eventually we pursued our own <br /> homeowners insurance company , whose "expert" , Dr . Robert Fausett , <br /> found the damages were caused by the blast and honored the claim. <br /> When they were unable to subrogate the damage against Alhgrimm' s <br /> carrier , they notified us that the $4687 . 33 claim was the reason <br /> they were canceling our insurance and that we were considered to be <br /> in a" high risk" location. ( See enclosure . ) <br /> The fact that no seismograph was being used by Algrimm or Yahara <br />
