LIZ ( 4(e, WINCH AND WINCH LAW OFFICES ATTORNEYS AT LAW 4 WEST HUDSON STREET THOMAS H.WINCH 36 EAST HUDSON STREET JAMES T.WINCH (608)795-2284 MAZOMANIE,WISCONSIN 53560 (608)795-4216 August 24, 1990 Sharon Biscard RECEIVFn Dane County Zoning Committee Room #116, City-County Building ' 91 Madison, WI 53709 �U�a 27 �� DANE CGUNT:' Re: Jerome Brunner Zoning Petition #4849 LAND REG. & RECO.:DS I thought that it would be appropriate to let the Committee understand that we were not in complete agreement with statements that were made by the Regional Planning Commission Staff regarding the above zoning petition which was filed with your Committee. Accordingly, we wish to supply the Committee with pictures of the exact site that we are requesting be rezoned, so that you can understand the nature of the property and why we are requesting the zoning changes that we are requesting. We are currently trying to work with the Town regarding what is the best possible rezoning that can be made of the property that is still consistent with their zoning policies and compatible with the surrounding area. This is the reason why at this time we have requested that consideration of this rezoning request be postponed, so that we can address such concerns. However, we also feel that it is appropriate to let you know what property is involved and where our dispute is with the Regional Planning Commission. I have enclosed as the Picture #1 , the house which we are requesting be rezoned as R-1 residential property. This is the property that is currently owned by Jerry Brunner's mother and father, Leo and Hilda Brunner. The property is easily accessible to Highway KP and the farm outbuildings all lie either directly behind the house, or in that general vicinity. We believe that such parcel can be zoned as R-1 without any problems of any nature. That house has been there for 20 years and Jerry's parents would like to live in that house for as long as they live and this is why we seek to have the zoning changed to R-1. As you can see from the picture with the current road in there, this property is easily accessible for emergency vehicles and there is very safe access on to existing County Trunk Highway KP, as the road is straight for a long distance both East and West at this point. In addition, the property is located in such proximity with the existing farm buildings that we believe that any person who would decide to purchase such property would have notice that an existing farm use exists there and they would not wish to purchase such property if they would find that the use of such land for agricultural purposes to be offensive to them. Accordingly we feel that such R-1 parcel can clearly be justified and we have received no opposition to such zoning. I have also enclosed pictures of the land that we seek to have zoned as A-2 lands. I have numbered those pictures as #2 through #8. Picture #2 shows the land that lies directly East of the property that we proposed to have zoned R-1, and this is the area where the Garfoot Creek travels. The creek itself parallels the cornfield and crosses KP where the bridge is shown on the picture. The rest of the pictures #3 through #7 show all of the buildings that accompany the parcel that we are requesting be zoned A-2.
