April 6, 199g;io <br /> Agriculture, Environment and Land Records 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 <br /> Conditional Use Permit)# for Mineral Extraction area in <br /> conjunction with rezoning petition #4.7$411 I moved onto the <br /> property in 1944 and have lived here since that time. <br /> The mineral extraction area is located mostly in the <br /> center of the mapped area, this area is between two up- <br /> slopes, one on the northwesterly side and the other slope is <br /> on the southeasterly side. I would estimate there is about <br /> three acres where there is little (0 to 4 inches) of top <br /> soil over the gravel . Hay was the best crop whenever I <br /> tried to crop these knolls. When I seeded the land and <br /> attempted to push the stone back into the ground with a <br /> cultipacker, alfalfa would produce a good first crop as the <br /> gravel did not hold moisture well . <br /> How far the gravel spreads out beyond the knolls has <br /> not been determined. After the mineral has been extracted <br /> and the area reclaimed, I have visions of better <br /> agricultural land for crop production. I have asked the <br /> lessors (Wolf Paving) to strip the area and stock pile the <br /> cover in three different units: 1 - top soil , 2 - sub-soil , <br /> and 3 - soil that contains stoney material. I have also <br /> asked that when reclamation begins the stoney material is <br /> backfilled first followed by sub-soil and finally the top <br /> soil . At the completion of reclamation the present knoll <br /> would have been removed and the land would be an almost <br /> level valley floor with a gentle slope. <br /> Thank you for your consideration. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> � s a <br /> Roge A.
