This is a graphic case , and in reality is self- <br /> defining. The public interest makes itself clear, and man- <br /> dates R-3 Zoning for the parcel in question. <br /> VI . R-4 ZONING DESIGNATION IS ERRONEOUS BY ANY <br /> STANDARD. <br /> The designation of R-4 Zoning for the property <br /> in question is plainly erroneous by any standard. It is <br /> an historical error; and should have no precedential value <br /> or persuasive power of any sort . <br /> Looking to the standards for zoning set forth <br /> in Section 59 . 97 of Wisconsin Statutes , we find that all <br /> of them are met by R-3 Zoning designations ; and none <br /> of them are met by R-4 designation. The mere fact that <br /> this historical mistake exists should carry no weight at <br /> all ; and, the appropriate objective zoning designation for <br /> the property is plainly R-3 . <br /> It is not in the public interest to permit "Johnny- <br /> come-lately" developers , who have no concern for the community <br /> or the public, to reap a windfall profit because of a simple <br /> historical error. <br /> Our zoning system is flexible enough and re- <br /> flective of the public interest so as to permit it to over- <br /> come and rectify such an error. <br />
