r r . March 12, 1989 MAR 141989 Dane County Land Regulations Room 116 - City County Building ZONING DW. Madison, Wisconsin 53709 Dear Members, My name is Marilyn Simpson and I reside with my family at 3400 Sandy Lee Lane which runs east and west, parallel to Burke Road, 1 Block South. Gerald Wood resides on the south side of Burke Road and manages land on the north. When Gerald Wood owned the property he had a section of his land rezoned to AB because he has a trucking company. This AB property and his agricultural property are adjacent to our backyard. We did not object to this at the time, being good neighbors. Presently this area is in very poor condition. In a court case now pending, we have had nothing but insults said to us about not fighting against AB zoning "in our back yard." It was like we approved allowing a stockyard, fertilizer plants, etc. in our back yard. We have already allowed AB zoning on our side of Burke Road for him so we are in strong opposition to this north rezoning. He has for the past several years been illegally parking vehicles on the forty acre parcel north of Burke Road. After complaints were filed he has now decided to go for additional AB zoning. All of these acres are owned by the U.S. Government. I do not understand how he can even be requesting this rezoning. The condition of this 40 acres north presently looks like a dumping ground, so I hate to imagine what it would look like with AB zoning. I can not see how you could allow or reward people being illegal by changing rezoning, to make it legal. I strongly object to Dane County Zoning allowing an AB rezoning on this property. We feel our land values and the astatic values of our area must be protected. The reason why I can not be present tonight to voice my opinion is because I have to be at the Town of Burke Planning Commission meeting, as I am a member. Thank you for your time. Sincerely, Marilyn K. Simpson
