• <br /> • <br /> •• <br /> TOWN OF COTTAGE GROVE <br /> COTTAGE GROVE, WISCONSIN 53527 <br /> July 2, 1986 <br /> Wisconsin Department of Transportation <br /> Marvin J. Schaeffer, Administrator <br /> Highway Transportation Service <br /> 4802 Sheboygan Avenue <br /> r• dison, Wisconsin 53707 <br /> Dear Mr. Schaeffer; <br /> The Town of Cottage Grove has two pending Dane County Zone requests which <br /> involve ingLess and egress from state and county highways. Both of these requests <br /> are off closed access highways. <br /> Formal requests to District 1 Highway Division have been rude and as far as <br /> the town can ascertain these requests have been or being denied. <br /> The first request was on Highway N at I-94 on the parcel south and east of <br /> that intersection. The parcel is ideal for use as a truck transfer freight <br /> terminal. The present field drive could be moved north to a higher location and <br /> be a safer drive than the present field drive or the recommended inlet off Gaston <br /> Road. Putting that access closer to I-94 would make good planning because of the <br /> design of that intersection routing trucks to Gaston Road would only slow down <br /> traffic movement for a greater distance. <br /> The second request has to do with 12 & 18 east of County Highway AB. <br /> The Swensoth farm was cut into when the first relocation of Highway 12 & 18 <br /> took place sorre years ago. They were at that time granted field access to cross <br /> the highway with farm machines. A permit has been granted for the north parcel <br /> of this split to conduct agricultural and eammercial business use along with the <br /> farm use. <br /> The south parcel driveway is used for agriculture. Now the son and family of <br /> Olof and Elinore Swenson wish to build on the east hill overlooking the property. <br /> This residence should use the field access. District 1 has advised that a drive <br /> be constructed to come out on AB. This puts the cost resident construction out of <br /> the question. The road would cost more then the home. The land to AB has changed <br /> to a swam, condition because of the drainage (underground and surface) pattern <br /> changes brought on by the relocated 12 & 13 highway. The present farm house on <br /> the Swenson farm cannot be improved because of the sanitary sewage field drainage <br /> problems_caused by the changed drainage pattern. These two zone changes deserve <br /> sore special consideration. As chairman of the Town of Cottage Grove I make <br />
