To: Shary Bisgard, Chair Agriculture, Environment & Land Records Committee From: Kenneth U. Johnson 4003 Burning Tree Rd. Town of Dunn Re: Zoning Petition #4764 By: Ron Haessig, Agent for Dennis & Terry Halverson I would like to request that the above petition for rezoning not be acted upon by your committee until the Town of Dunn Planning Committee reviews this petition. There is significant concern by the neighborhood concerning this petition in the following regard: 1) It has been requested that Parcel 14 0610-273-9290 be included as part of the Hilmar Halverson Farm as of 1977 . If that is the case, the total acreage of this farm in 1977 was 70.9 acres. It is believed that this parcel was not part of the farm in 1977 , therefore, only one building parcel can be created from this farm, not two or three. Dane County is currently reviewing this item. 2) It is believed that Parcel 14 0610-331-8790-2 was a contiguous part of the Hilman Halverson farm in 1977 and cannot be considered a separate building parcel in accordance with the Town of Dunn Land Use Plan. Dane County is also reviewing this item. 3) The neighborhood adjacent to these parcels is residential with numerous families with children. The petition for rezoning requests that the parcels be zoned RH-2 and RH-3 . This zoning is inconsistent with neighborhood and its character. Certainly no livestock or animals should be permitted. 4) All the current properties contain numerous covenants and restrictions in their deeds to maintain the character of our neighborhood. The proposed new building parcels would not contain such covenants and restrictions. 5) This property is prime farmland and would be better used as farmland. Historically, there has been problems with septic systems in our neighborhood because of the soil conditions.
