Mr. Lyman Anderson, Chairman Zoning and Natural Resources Committee 875 Union Road Oregon, WI 53575 Dear Supervisor Anderson: On behalf of the Board of Supervisors of the Town of Middleton I want to express our appreciation for the attentive and courteous reception which was extended by you and the Zoning and Natural Resources Committee on August 10, 1993. As I indicated during my presentation, our opposition to the conditional use permit requested by Hide-Away Storage is based on a number of factors, including: -The Town of Middleton has had an ordinance on the books for many years which provides that mobile homes may be located only in licensed mobile home parks. No mobile home park exists in the Town of Middleton. -The Town of Middleton never issued a building permit for the placement of the mobile home. Special permits would have been required to move the mobile home on town roads, specifically Schwartz Road. There is no record that such permits were ever applied for. Clearly, no permits were ever issued. -Hide-Away Storage contains a large number of unlicensed and inoperable vehicles in violation of County ordinances. Contrary to the statements of the representative of Hide-Away Storage, many of these vehicles are junk and not vehicles which are stored at the site simply because they have been forced off municipal streets. Even if the statement were accurate, under what circumstances should the Town of Middleton become the dumping ground for such vehicles? -The original zoning ordinance requirements noted by Dane County on June 9, 1987, indicated the following: "Outside storage of vehicles, boats, campers, etc., is permitted provided that they are currently licensed and operable. A temporary building for a caretaker is permitted provided that it is a temporary building." We would suggest that it is difficult to argue that a period in excess of six years represents "temporary." AUG 199, 3ECEIVEC ZONING QI!.
