9 4/ a <br /> September 14, 1993 <br /> To The Dane County Zoning Committee <br /> Lyman Anderson, Chair <br /> „`;41 <br /> RE: Conditional Use Permit #1100 <br /> By: Wingra Stone Company <br /> Proposed use: Mineral extraction for highway project <br /> Location: North of 6338 and 6340 Nesbit Road <br /> Sec 12, Town of Verona <br /> 39.9 Acres <br /> The neighbors of the <br /> g property proposed for mineral extraction, <br /> oppose Conditional Use Permit 11100 request by Wingra Stone Company <br /> Y �' <br /> for approximately 39.9 acres located in the SE 1/4 of the NE 1/4 <br /> of Section 12, Town of Verona. <br /> The property described above is contiguous to the residential. <br /> community known as Hillside Heights in the Town of Verona. A <br /> petition stating the opposition of residents of that community has <br /> been circulated and is available to this Committee confirming such <br /> opposition. <br /> The residential community has been established since the late <br /> 1940's and early 1950's. Wingra Stone's quarry on the westerly side <br /> of Hwy PD began in 1959. <br /> At that time, their blasting operation damaged two homes in the <br /> community of Hillside Heights, one being mine which is half way <br /> down the hill on the easterly side of the lime ridge, the other on <br /> top of the lime ridge from which Wingra is harvesting lime rock. <br /> Damages were awarded by legal suit in Dane County Court to the <br /> plaintiffs Poole & Burri by the defendants, Wingra Stone and their <br /> insurers. <br /> It is ay opinion the law suit, plaintiffs prevailing, established <br /> the FACT that Wingra's operation does affect the physical <br /> properties of the homes built in the community of Hillside Heights. <br /> Their blasting operation has continued to disturb the environment <br /> of our little community consistently. Air concussion, ground <br /> vibrations, and air pollution are regular adverse environmental <br /> conditions as a result of their quarrying. <br /> Ever since Wingra Stone expanded their quarry west of Hwy PD, and <br /> invaded this community, we have suffered broken thermopane window <br /> seals, disturbed wells, separated mortar in foundations, and <br /> cracked plaster among other physical effects. <br />
