4827 Helgeland Drive <br /> Sun Prairie, WI 53590 <br /> March 22, 1993 <br /> Chairman Lyman Anderson <br /> Dane County Zoning & Natural Resources Committee <br /> City-County building, Room 116 <br /> Madison WI 53709 <br /> Re: Rezoning Petition No. 5557 - Heinemann <br /> Dear Chairman Anderson: <br /> We are residential property owners who live directly across <br /> from the proposed commercial property. Our property is zoned R1 . <br /> This letter is written as a last desperate hope that some remnant <br /> of good sense and fair play may stop this ill advised development. <br /> Some brakes have to be put to the frontier thinking that a man can <br /> do just what he pleases with his own property in a free enterprise <br /> system and any opposition is meaningless . The Town Board totally <br /> rejected the petition of just about every homeowner in the affected <br /> area on the ground that the Heinemanns bought an adjoining burnt <br /> out home which was historically zoned Cl and that they can do <br /> anything they want to on the small lot, however, in the interest of <br /> safety, it is necessary to annex the adjoining area (area proposed <br /> to be zoned C1) so that the Heinemanns can do legitimately what <br /> they are now doing illegally. Here the Heinemanns are rewarded for <br /> breaking the law and more significantly, Bernie Heinemann lied to <br /> your Committee that he was not conducting a business in violation <br /> of zoning laws . When confronted with the fact that he was doing <br /> business illegally, Bernie Heinemann admitted that it was time to <br /> move the business away from his own home. Does downright perjury <br /> before your Committee mean anything? Or, must we conclude that <br /> everything is fair game in a free market economy? <br /> We are concerned about our safety and of our children. <br /> Commercial interest will open up the area and we do not have <br /> adequate police protection. Children and traffic do not mix. <br /> The school bus stops at Helgeland Drive and Highway TT at which <br /> intersection the proposed trucking and commercial activity will <br /> compete. We do not have sewer and fire hydrants . But the main <br /> reason why we moved to the area was to live in a peaceful <br /> residential area and the proposed commercial activity of the <br /> Heinemanns is unfair to us who have lived there long before the <br /> Heinemanns came. What about the rest of us? Do we count? <br /> Please give us a break and deny the petition. <br /> Respectfully submitted, <br /> 00A-ge_ bektA..-tal N-de <br /> Telephone: (608) 837-3936 Joan & Donald Hue <br />
