CAPITOL SAND AND GRAVEL CO, INC. <br /> 8355 Sta,,ecoach Road <br /> CROSS PLAINS, WISCONSIN 53528 <br /> P . 608 798-3051 <br /> November 23 , 1987 <br /> Agriculture, Environment , & Zoning Committee <br /> City COunty Building <br /> 210 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. <br /> Madison, WIS. 53703 <br /> Dear Committee Members; <br /> We have been informed that Mr . John DeBeck of Speedway Sand <br /> and Gravel Co. is again applying for an A-2 zoning with a <br /> conditional use permit to operate a quarry on Highway 14 west of <br /> Middleton. <br /> We are strongly opposed to such a move for a number of <br /> reasons. First and foremost is the fact that there are currently <br /> three operating limestone quarries on Highway 14 between Middleton <br /> and Cross Plains. One is on Pleasant View Road across from Fish <br /> Building Supply, the second is directly opposite the proposed site <br /> on Twin Valley Road , and the third is our quarry on Stagecoach Road <br /> one mile east of Cross Plains. In addition to these already <br /> mentioned , there is an operating quarry 2 miles north of Middleton <br /> on Highway 12, and we operate a quarry on Mineral Point Road 4 <br /> miles west of the beltline. The west Madison and Middleton area <br /> is very adequately served by these existing operations. <br /> Secondly , the Madison area which has had a strong construction <br /> year enjoys the benefits of a highly competitive industry with <br /> relatively cheap prices. Very efficient operations have created <br /> the economies of low prices and adequate service for the consumer. <br /> Thirdly, the current operation of a landfill adjacent to the <br /> proposed site makes for a convenient place to dump waste materials <br /> that are common to a quarry operation. The "Refuse Hideaway" <br /> landfill more commonly known as DeBeck ' s dump does not enjoy the <br /> best of reputations for the meeting of all the standards imposed <br /> by the state and county for such operations. <br /> Another consideration is the nearness to existing houses to <br /> the proposed site. It is bordered on the north by a developed <br /> Whed ]. I; <br /> as <br /> Limeetoac Top Soil <br /> Concrete Aggregate, Equipnrenent Rentals Sand - Clay Fill <br />
