The Town Board has held three meetings at which petition X5557 has been considered. At the initial meeting on 2/8/93 , two Supervisors, in the absence of Board Chairman J. Lichael Blaska, voted to approve the petition "as there was no opposition to the petition" . The lack of at- tendance by the opposition was only due to the fact that no one other than the Petitioner and the Board was aware of the subject matter to be acted upon that evening. Subsequent to a number of strenuous complaints to the Chairman, the Board decided to reconsider pertition , 5557 on 2/22/ 93. At that meeting the petitioner was absent , but represented by an in- terested party, and/Chairman was again absent as well . e As the discussion during the course of the meeting progressed, it be- came abundantly clear to me and to many others that the Supervisors present had already made up their minds to approve the rezoning petition before the meeting began. The mindset of the Supervisors was unbelievably biased. Irregardless of opposing points made , issues raised, or concerns expressed, the stock reply was repeated time and time again - - "',ie can restrict the activity to --" accomplish this , that or the other thing. At one point Supervisor Dianeade told us that if the Board disapproved the petition "You will lose" . She went on to justify her foolish statement by point- ing out that the Heinemanns could then purchase already coniLe °cially zoned land further east toward the intersection of Cty Trks N and TT and could then construct their workshop without restrictions . She obviously never heard the essence of the opposition to rezoning from residential to commercial. Namely, that the Heinemanns could construct their workshop on land already zoned for commercial usage . Apparently , some 15 or so years ago, a specific section of land along both sides of Hwy TT was designated commercial. Given this availability of land within the commercially designated area , my neighbors and I find, it out of character not to utilize this land area for the purpose it was des- ignated rather than rezone a portion of a zoned rural residential area. Es- pecially since the Heinemann' s commercial activity is not related to the relevant land use policy of the Town of Sun Prairie .
