ignimmiiimencrE - Minutes Os= MAT • August 19, 1977 Pg. 2 `' 1. Purpose of special exception is to provide access to South end of property. Unable to obtain access lease from Lalor Road to property Have access easement from end of Henshue Road and driveway permit from town. 2. Proposed road and culvert should have no adverse affects on Swan Creek. (a) . Already existing berm with culvert prevents surface water run-off into creek. (b) . Existing drainage ditch along West side of property diverts run-off from between Lalor Road and property into the creek. (c) . Presented letter from Held and Associates, consulting engineers on feasibility of placing road base. OTHERS IN FAVOR: Greg Held Held & Associates proposed road will not result in ponding, polution, sedimentation, etc. as Pertains to Section 10.16 (7) (g) Dane County Zoning Ordinance. Jack Frandy Still interested in building home onthe property if possible. Will al-o give first option to DNR, town, etc. in event of sale. Proposed road doe- not "dike" creek anywhere near what Lalor Road causes. Proposed opening is approximately two times the size of the culvert under Lalor Road. OPPOSED: Cal DeWitt Wetlands Ecologist, University of Wisconsin. 1. University has $110,000 grant to study marsh area adjoining the property in question. 12. Addition of fill, to organic soils, in a strip creates problems which can dramatically alter the natural marsh and water table and should not be permitted (Justice Hallows decision just V.S. Marinette Co.) The existing berm on Swan Creek has caused a reduction of up to 3 feet in the water table. 3. Lalor Road already acting as dam; holding water back to about the 860' level (USGS) . Lalor Road culvert will more than likely have to be improved. 4. This area is State Scientific Area #114 and has priority #1 in R.P.C. Wetlands of Dane County. The Berkans and Bagholzes have donate' , approximately 150 acres to area. If road has to be built, I suggest it be built on pilings to allow free flow of water. Would prefer to • • keep area in its natural state. Dorothy Berkan 1. Object to proposed - addition of even two homes would cause de- crease of value of donated land. Residents have counted 15 percola- tion holes which could mean a sizeable development. 2. Concerned about (a) . deterioration of wildlife and vegetation (b) . Possible damage to "just rebuilt" Goodland Park Road by trucks hauling fill. (c) . What 15 acres Mr. Frandy would use (d) . Possible hunting adjacent to donated lands. Question Erickson. How many homes on your property? Mrs. Berkan; three, all on high ground. Sold one acre and gave one acre to each s of two sons.
