Page -3- ' September 26, 1993 Mr. Lyman Anderson, Chairman Dane County Zoning and Natural Resources Committee a. The site will be mined to a depth of 30 to 50 feet below adjoining land. This will change both the direction, speed and volume of storm water runoff exiting the property. This runoff will flow to the northwest into a greenway and storm water retention basin which will flow through our property. This additional water flow will significantly alter both the design and size of the greenway, all at our expense. b. The change in elevation will cause a re-design or the elimination of adjacent roads now scheduled to connect from our property into the Wingra property. These roadway changes, removal of the topsoil, sand and clay overburden will probably result in the Wingra property only being suitable for heavy commercial or industrial use because of the costs to blast in water and sewer service. The only buildings possible will be slab on grade thereby basically eliminating the residential use now scheduled for the Wingra property. Placing industrial or commercial use immediately adjacent to our residential use without a substantial green space buffer as is now shown on the City's land use plan, will substantially devalue our property and other existing residential units to the south now located along Nesbitt Road. "4. That adequate utilities, access road, drainage and other necessary site improvements have been or are being made." a. The only access road is CTH PD which has now become very busy. Do to existing and planned City development, it is no longer a quiet country road. Although the speed limit has now been technically reduced to 45 mph, having numerous heavy duty and slow moving trucks entering and exiting just over the brow of the hill will adversely affect traffic flow and possibly require other protective traffic flow improvements at a cost to the County. b. The site's drainage is proposed to changed through mining to cause all of Wingra's storm water to exit to the Northwest onto adjacent residential property and immediately into a greenway which will flow through our property. We believe that Wingra Stone has no legal right to to add more than 15 acres of land to our drainage basin without compensation. "5. That adequate measures have been or will be taken to provide ingress and egress so designed as to minimize traffic congestion in the public streets. . . ." a. Wingra's plan contains no mention of how the substantial additional traffic from its heavy gravel trucks will be accommodated on CTH PD. It basically expects PD to simply absorb this traffic.
