• • "A use of property or course of conduct that interferes with the - legal rights of others by causing damage, annoyance, or inconvenience." The reduction of our property value while our taxes remain high is truly an interference of our legal rights and the use of the rezoning of this Lot to allow the storage of semi- tractors and trailers is in legal violation of the "Restrictions and Covenants" that govern the use of this property. Beyond this, it is important to remember that this is a housing development that is home to many children ranging from newborn through teens. There is great concern among the residents for the safety of children riding bicycles, walking, crossing streets, etc. with the entry and exit, on a daily basis, of a semi-tractor and trailer on the roadways of this development. There are other properties in this neighborhood used for the raising of horses, etc. However, the owners of these properties showed good faith to their neighbors by petitioning the neighbors prior to any deviations from the "Restrictions and Covenants" and asked for a variance to be approved by the neighbors. In the case you are reviewing, the semi-tractor and two trailers were moved in and imposed on the neighborhood in violation of the "Restrictions and Covenants" without approaching the neighbors. When found in violation, no effort was made to amend the violation. Two trailers and a semi-tractor reside on this property to this date. Although the owners of this property have now finally petitioned some residents to approve their violation, please check the addresses of those signing any approval and you will find that most do not have a direct view of their property. Other signatures are from individuals who have only recently moved into the neighborhood and do not have a full comprehension of how they will be impacted by this rezoning. We find the sight of the semi-tractor and trailers that we see, on a daily basis, from our living room, dining room, kitchen, and bedroom windows to be an annoyance. When we purchased our property we were required to know the legal restrictions put on the use of our property. We feel that the owners of Lot 3 were legally responsible to know the restrictions on their property. It should not now be the responsibility of the neighborhood to bear the burden of proving why the owners of Lot 3 should be denied this rezoning. Please deny this request for rezoning on the basis that it violates legal documents on record with Dane County and beyond that please take into consideration the impact that this rezoning will have on the safety and property values of the neighborhood.
