LAW OFFICES OF BAKKEN, FEIFAREK & TAYLOR A.J.FEIFAREK JAMES F.BAKKEN UNIVERSITY STATION PAUL S.TAYLOR 2828 MARSHALL COURT P.O.BOX 5546 MADISON,WISCONSIN 53705 FAX 608/231-3519 608/231-3401 April 9 , 1991 Mr. Neil Johnson 109 S. Jefferson Street Verona, Wisconsin 53593 Dear Mr. Johnson : It is my understanding you are attempting to rezone a parcel of land presently owned by Dale N. Chestnut and Debra J. Chestnut. This parcel of land is located in the NE-1/4 of the NW-1/4 of Section 25 , T6N, R7E, Town of Springdale, Dane County, Wisconsin . The parcel originally was purchased by Donald and Vera Chestnut, husband and wife as joint tenants, from Clinton P. Dahlk and Sharon Sue Dahlk, on May 18 , 1972 . The deed contained a provision which provided that the "said premises shall not be sub-divided into parcels of less than three acres for a period of 10 years. Any residence construc- ted on any parcel shall have not less than 1400 square feet of living area and a 2 car garage attached or non-attached garage . " Donald and Vera Chestnut, having sold off certain parcels , continued to own the premises until Donald' s death in 1985. The joint tenancy was terminated and the property remaining from the original parcel was owned by Vera C. Chestnut. She sold the premises in question to her son and daughter-in-law , Dale and Debra Chestnut on February 25 , 1987 . The Warranty Deed did not contain the 10 year restriction referred to above . It is therefore my opinion the premises purchased by Dale and Debra Chestnut is not subject to the deed restrictions provided in the original deed of May 18 , 1972 . It expired in 1982 . Donald and Vera Chestnut did sell off certain parcels of land that contained the same restrictions as in their original
