• <br /> Jeffory C. Schwandt & <br /> Deborah R. Johnson <br /> 922 Johnson Avenue <br /> Oregon, WI 53575 <br /> Dane County Zoning Department - Zoning and Natural Resources Committee <br /> Attention: Shary Bisgard, Chair <br /> Room 116, City-County Building <br /> Madison, WI 53709 <br /> December 30, 1991 REAM 3 - 1992 <br /> Regarding: zoning petition #5251 (copy attached) <br /> This letter is to register our opposition to the referenced application for change of zoning and <br /> conditional use permit. <br /> Our home is located on the highlighted lot on the attached map. You'll note that our lot is directly <br /> adjacent to the lot to be affected by the zoning change. <br /> We oppose the change for the following reasons: <br /> 1. We believe allowing the parking of semi-tractor/trailers on the property will have a significant <br /> effect on the value of our property. This summer we had our home for sale. Virtually every <br /> potential buyer that viewed our home asked about the trucks and trailers that were parked on the <br /> adjoining lot. Ultimately we elected to not sell our home. <br /> 2. We purchased our home because of the rural, residential nature of the neighborhood. We don't <br /> want the aesthetics of the area to change. <br /> 3. The streets in the neighborhood are narrow and winding, and we believe, not safe to handle <br /> traffic from semi-tractor/trailers. <br /> 4. There have been instances when the tractor has been allowed to idle for long periods of time. <br /> This is very disruptive in a residential neighborhood. <br /> 5. We are concerned about what may happen on the site in the future if this zoning change is made. <br /> For instance could this change lead to more trucks and trailers or unsightly buildings that are not <br /> in keeping with the current nature of the neighborhood? <br /> 6. The petitioners should have been aware of any restrictions on the use of the property when it <br /> was purchased. <br /> In summary, we believe that the application for change of zoning and conditional use permit should be <br /> turned down to preserve the rural, residential nature of our neighborhood. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> / <br /> Je wry C. Schwandt <br /> Deborah R. Johnson <br />
