• <br /> May 12, 1992 <br /> Zoning and Natural Resources Committee <br /> Room 116, City County Building <br /> 210 Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd. <br /> Madison,WI 53709 <br /> Dear Committee Members, <br /> I am the owner of the land involved in a proposed condition use permit#995 for mineral <br /> extraction area in conjunction with rezoning petition#5355. I moved onto the property <br /> in 1944 and have lived here since that time. <br /> Parcel C,D, and F are adjustment to the 1990 zoned area. Parcel E is an extension to the <br /> east property line. The mineral extraction areas A and B are adjoining the previously <br /> approved (1990) gravel area. The "A" parcel has a southeasterly slope,parcel "B" has a <br /> northwesterly slope. The gravel does not have much top soil on it, in some places the <br /> gravel is on the surface. The gravel is of good quality. Hay was the best crop whenever I <br /> tried to crop these knolls. When I seeded the land and attempted to push the stone back <br /> into the ground with a cultipacker, alfalfa would produce only a good first crop, as the <br /> gravel did not hold moisture well. <br /> After removal of the gravel and reclamation is completed the slopes should be gentler. I <br /> have visions of better agricultural land for crop production. I have asked the lessee (Wolf <br /> Paving) to strip the area and stock pile the cover in three different units: 1 - top soil, 2- <br /> sub-soil, and 3 - soil that contains stony material. I have also asked that when <br /> reclamation begins the stony material is backfilled first followed by the sub-soil and <br /> finally the top soil. <br /> Thank you for your consideration. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Roger A.
