January 3, 1990 To the Ag Environment and Land Records Committee of the Dane County Board of Supervisors City County Building Room 116 Madison, Wisconsin 53709 To All Concerned: Since I am unable to be present at your public hearing on Tuesday, January 9, at 7:30 p.m. , because of a church meeting, I send this letter as my voice in the matter of Zoning Petition #4668 - by Craig Hayes, agent for the Herrington Estate, related to rezoning an area of approximately 40.1 acres along Nesbitt Road in the Town of Verona. It appears increasingly difficult for those in authority to maintain a separation between industrial, light commercial, agricultural, and residential land use. Spot zoning often "just happens" because land owners perhaps are not vocal enough . . . or are too busy raising families or caring for elderly to be able to voice their strong and rational objections to this type of unorganized land use. To approve Petition #4668, would be, in my opinion, a critical error in judgement. I respectfully request the committee unanimously deny this petition and any other petition in the future that may further endanger the long established residential development in the area involved, as well as future residential land use if the agricultural land use is abandoned by the owners. Commercial development will increase traffic along Nesbitt Road, a relatively restricted access roadway. The proposed new highway development will, it appears, even more severely affect the private family residents and their children, when "on" and "off" ramps are constructed to serve commercial access if rezoning is approved. Let me ask each of you, would you, if you had a home in this area, want this type of development in your neighborhood? If you have small children, you would be even more concerned about commercial development. There are industrial parks being developed in Fitchburg near by on McKee Road; The City of Verona has an industrial park development near by. Why is it necessary to invade further, an area that can, with your disapproval of this petition, be reserved for residential or agricultural (farming) land use. I beg you to protect the interests of those of us who have made considerable investment in our homes and families by denying the petition before you (#4668). You can, by this bold action, insure as much as possible, the private water wells in the area, the general health of the natural water shed, and the peace of mind of all the people who have their homes in the small communities generally known as Hillside Heights off Nesbitt Road, and Wendeliwood off Fitchrona Road. .ectful. • , c Selected Residents of ' Affected Area in Town of Verona 40(j- - 'bole 6379 verest Drive JAN [ 3 1991 4 Madison, WI 53719 wr1
