. <br /> Town of Dunn 10/13/85 <br /> 4156 CTH B <br /> McFarland, WI 53558 <br /> Attention: Town Clerk <br /> Subject: Zoning Petition 3548 <br /> Scott Wilson <br /> Dear Rosalind Gausman <br /> It has been brought to out attention that Scott Wilson has requested <br /> the Dunn Plan Commission act on the Dane County Zoning Petition 3548 <br /> regarding RH-2 and C-1 rezoning of agricultural lands,. <br /> My wife and I have just recently built a new home and moved to the Town <br /> of Dunn. The Wilsons are neighbors of ours. I have talked to Scott and <br /> his wife on sveral occasions and I have seen his small cabinet shop in <br /> the back of his horse barn <br /> On Tuesday, Oct 8, 1985, Scott came to our home and requested our <br /> signitures on a petition approving the above mentioned rezoning. Since <br /> his current cabinetmaking activities have not interfered with the quality <br /> of life in the neighborhood and his expansion plans were modest, able <br /> to utilize his present septic system, we signed the petition requesting <br /> approval for the rezoning. <br /> Subsequently, I have talked at length with our lawyer, Jack Koschalek, <br /> and studied the zoning ordinances as they apply to commerical rezoning. <br /> My wife and I have discussed this matter thoroughly and now think it is <br /> prudent to withdraw out support for zoning petition 3548. While Scott <br /> Wilson current commercial practices do not adversely effect the environ- <br /> mental quality of life in the immediate neighborhood, neither we nor our <br /> lawyer can see a way under current law and Town of Dunn policy to prohibit <br /> further efforts by other land owners to request similar commerical <br /> re-zoning. If Scott Wilson's modest request were approved, it would set <br /> a precedent for lawsuits against the Town of Dunn if they denied any future <br /> applications for commerical re-zoning. This difficulty points to the <br /> need for a comprehensive zoing policy in the Town of Towno <br /> In summary,' we are withdrawing our previous support for zoning petition <br /> 3548. We see no alternative. While we can support Scotts request based <br /> soley on the merits of his modest needs to expand his business and the <br /> environmental needs of the immediate neighborhood; we cannot support his <br /> request when we consider the overall needs in the Town of Dunn to control <br /> the willy-nilly expansion of commerical activity.and preserve the rural <br /> qu'Ality of life. <br /> /: <br /> l'://1";1-6C./ ,AZ)-"L <br /> 6,X444 <br /> `-1,/ RECEIVED <br /> Daniel & CharmianLKlyve-Wood <br /> 2822 Lalor Rd.
