Am <br /> il <br /> 0, • <br /> i <br /> I <br /> We little people don't have the means to bring Wingra Stone to <br /> court each time they cause jammed well pumps with attendant <br /> plumber's bills, sand in our potable water supply with attendant <br /> undesirable drinking water, plus breakage of our precious knick- <br /> knacks. All of these are relatively insignificant individually. Put <br /> them all together and you can see, we are significantly injured as 1 <br /> we replace windows to control energy use, replace well pumps to <br /> provide our water, and lament unreplaceable sentimental objects. <br /> 1 <br /> Again Wingra Stone is proposing to come even closer to our <br /> community with their air shattering and earth quaking. It is <br /> difficult to prove physical damages to our homes and our bodies as <br /> specific to Wingra Stone's operation. While they say they are <br /> meeting DNR regulations, that does not really protect our <br /> 1 community. The only way we would be totally relieved of the <br /> environmental affects of the quarry is for them to cease and desist <br /> I their operation. <br /> f <br /> In 1980, our Town officials, this committee, and the Dane County <br /> Board denied Wingra Stone's request to expand their operation into t <br /> this same 39.9 acres. Here they are, back again, knocking at your <br /> door, despite the fact that the decision in 1980 was "No". <br /> c <br /> 1 <br /> In the interim 13 years, this community has grown, larger and the <br /> health and welfare of even more families will be affected by their <br /> further intrusion into our neighborhood. ` <br /> No one should be allowed to come 300' away from a community of <br /> family homes, 35 properties, several of which are multi-family <br /> units, to harvest an outcropping of lime rock and profit for one <br /> business. Perhaps they're hoping memories have faded, people have t <br /> moved away, and that policy and policy makers have changed. <br /> It is my hope, and I'm sure I can safely speak for my neighbors, <br /> this committee of policy makers will reaffirm the decision in 1980, <br /> and will, for the second time, deny a conditional use permit to <br /> Wingra Stone Co, and will so recommend to the Dane County Board. <br /> Respectfully, <br /> 1 <br /> X <br /> Joyce Poole <br /> Resident of Hillside Heights <br /> Town of Verona <br /> 1 <br /> 1 <br /> f <br /> 1 <br /> 1 <br /> t <br /> t <br /> t <br /> 1 <br /> t <br />
