c (7 CO --1 CARSON "CHIC" YOUNG, JR. COMMUNICATIONS CONSULTANT REGISTERED PROFESSIONAL ENGINEER 54 MERLHAM DRIVE / MADISON, WISCONSIN 53705 / 608 233-1783 OR 233-9741 February 4, 1991 Dane County Land Regulation Records Zoning Division Room 116, City-County Building Madison, Wisconsin 53709 Re: Rezoning Application for a portion of PN: 0709-362-7304-0 Gentlepersons: Herewith is my application for the rezoning of the Northern portion of the Selmer Edmunds property at 602 E. Badger Road in the Town of Madison. I request that C-2 Zoning be granted, effective upon the completion of my purchase of said property through Robert Castleberg of the Stark Realty Company. I have a signed purchase agreement for this property, dated January 4, 1991, conditioned upon rezoning for use as a commercial shop, museum, warehouse and residence within six months of the agreement. Stark Realty holds my earnest money. (a) I propose to build and operate a TV-Electronics Museum, including an Electronics Hall of Fame in conjunction with my forty-three year old TV and Electronics Service Business and my Communications Consulting Service. Currently I have over 300 TVs, radios, computers, early fax machines, audio and video reel-to-reel tape recorders, etc. Included is the first TV sold to a consumer in Madison, 43 years ago. I plan to provide free tours to supervised groups of area school children. Others will pay a modest fee to offset the costs of operating the Museum (b) Construction of the first portion of the museum is planned for the summer of 1991. A building at the North end of the property 50 feet in depth, with a frontage of 110 feet is planned for the first phase. The 50 foot dimension will be increased to 100 feet as the museum grows. Construction of the Caretakers house with attached garage at the South end of the property, adjacent to the current residence area, is anticipated to take place in 1992. (c) The approximately 31,000 square feet in this separated parcel is immediately adjacent to the Walgreen warehouse on the North, and across the Nob Hill Frontage Road from the Badger Bowl. This is previously unbuilt-upon land in an area increasingly becoming commercial, with convenient access from the Beltline via the existing Rimrock Road interchange. The requested construction will result in a very modest amount of increased vehicle traffic of possibly 20 to 30 cars per day. The enclosed site plan shows the location of the main building, with a dashed line to show the first phase rear wall. The conditional use for a caretaker's house at the South end is also shown. I will supply additional information upon request. Sincerely yours, 4 40 oe". . Carson E. Young, .
