#-6,3 <br /> ~- - ._~ <br /> �� 9c��� <br /> , November 24, 1990 '� <br /> Mr. Fred Teitgen, Chairman <br /> Town of Mazomanie Land Plan Committee <br /> 8 State Street <br /> Mazomanie' Wisconsin 53560 <br /> Dear Fred: <br /> The proposed zoning petition #4925 to rezone a parcel on Skara <br /> Brae Lane into four single family lots has promhted us to review <br /> the Town of Mazomanie 's Land Use Plan' After reviewing this <br /> document and the goals set forth in it, we would like to express <br /> our support for the plan and its underlying policies and <br /> objectives~ <br /> We share concerns with the Township over preservation of <br /> farmland, scattered development, retention of rural character <br /> and effects on the environment as stated in the Land Use Plan <br /> book. <br /> Based on these mutual concerns and objectives, we would like to <br /> outline our specific concerns and objections to this proposed <br /> re-zoning: <br /> First, we are concerned that this proposal would create on Skara <br /> Brae Lane (2/10 mile long dead-end road) a number of adverse <br /> conditions -- increased traffic , safety problems, required road <br /> improvements and increased maintenance and harmful effects on <br /> the adjacent land. <br /> Secondly, potential erosion from driveways leading into the <br /> hillside and the impact of additional wells and septic systems <br /> on this fragile area would lead to a negative environmental <br /> impact on the surrounding woodland and wildlife. Perhaps a more <br /> appropriate use (or non-use) of this land would be as a Nature <br /> Conservancy. <br /> And finally, the entire length of our property 's west facing <br /> boundary, including nearly the entire length of Skara Brae Lane, <br /> is adjacent to the proposed re-zoning. Our original decision to <br /> purchase our property was based in part on the assurance by Burt <br /> Kreitlow that this proposed area would never be developed. We <br /> feel that acceptance of this proposal would have a negative <br /> fect on our use and enjoyment of our own property. <br /> Based on these concerns for the land itself, the town 's <br /> increased maintenance expense and safety problems, and for our <br /> own use of our land, we strongly oppose this petition for <br /> re-zoning. We appreciate your consideration of our concerns and <br /> ask thi� petition for re-zoning be denied. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Dennis & Klover Schafer <br /> cc: Mr. Ron Adler, Town of Mazomanie Chairman <br /> Mrs. Roxanne Jordon, Town of Mazomanie Clerk <br /> Ms. Shary Bisgard, Dane County Zoning & Natural Resources <br /> Committee Chair <br />
