4 . <br /> May 22, 1989 <br /> Ms. Shary Bisgard, Chairperson <br /> Agriculture, Environment and Land Records Committee <br /> Dane County City County Building <br /> 210 Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard <br /> Madison, WI 53709 <br /> Dear Ms. Bisgard: <br /> My name is Bill Weber, Sr. , and I am a Realtor and part <br /> owner of WEBER REALTY, INC./Better Homes and Gardens. I <br /> have lived in the Town of Middleton for eleven years and I <br /> have actively sold Real Estate in Dane County for over <br /> sixteen years. <br /> It is my intention to respond to the stated feelings of a <br /> . few of our Town residents regarding a new Town Hall and <br /> central Town Park complex at the corner of Old Sauk and <br /> Pioneer Roads. In particular, I want to respond to a letter <br /> which I have read from Realtor Harry Knight to Mrs. Carol <br /> Schiller and a subsequent letter from Mrs. Carol Schiller to <br /> the Dane County Agriculture, Environment and Land Record <br /> Committee in which Mrs. Schiller appears to be indirectly <br /> referring to Mr. Knights opinions. <br /> I feel highly qualified to comment on land values in Dane <br /> County based on my experience as outlined above. I might <br /> also add that I reside on one of the higher lots in Cherry <br /> Wood Park and I have a full and unencumbered view of the <br /> Valley where the proposed Town Hall and central town park <br /> complex is intended to be built, so I am also concerned <br /> about what happens with this land. <br /> 1) I think it is totally absurd that anyone, and <br /> particularly an alleged experienced active Real Estate <br /> Salesperson, could comment that the development of a <br /> well planned Town Hall/Park Facility could possibly <br /> lower the value of the surrounding Agricultural land, <br /> or lower the land ' s value as residential property. I <br /> can't even believe that he could state, and Mrs. <br /> Schiller would quote him, that commercial and <br /> industrial values would suffer. The one piece of <br /> commercial property in the area is right across the <br /> street from this proposed site. This property <br /> currently is probably one of the worst kept properties <br /> in the town, certainly an eyesore and most certainly <br /> not something which could be devalued by this project, <br /> as I will point out later in this letter. <br />
