fir .� . Ms. Goode derives substantial benefits from the Faga property, which is contiguously located to the Goodes' property, in its current non-developed condition. Ms. Goode utilizes the open space of the Faga property for walking and riding her horses and also uses the water from the Faga property. This use and benefit of the Faga property by and to the Goodes would not exist if such property was rezoned and subdivided for residential development. Moreover, the residential development of the Faga property would raise the property tax assessment of the Goode's property. Indeed, Ms. Goode conceded the conflict by stating that she would abstain from voting on the petition. Unfortunately, Ms. Goode refused to refrain from continued active participation in the discussion of that petition as a Plan Commission member. At the Plan Commission meeting last Monday evening, Ms. Goode used her position on the Plan Commission to argue for preservation of the substantial benefits she receives from the Faga property and to protect her personal financial interest. Ms. Goode repeatedly and stridently voiced her opposition to the Faga rezoning petition. I call your particular attention to the enforcement provisions contained in Sections 19.59 (7) and (8) of the Wisconsin Statutes, which provide for forfeitures up to $1,000 for each violation and enforcement actions by the district attorney and the attorney general. Ms. Goode's conduct has unalterably tainted the Faga rezoning petition process and adversely affected the rights of the Fagas. We request prompt and effective remedial action by the Town to redress the harm caused by Ms. Goode's perceived ethical violations. y truly yours, - , iLy ___„ _ _ J hn H.
