DANE COUNTY APPLICATION FOR REZONE P.H. 3/12/86 Item No. : 33 <br /> Zoning Petition /37L.7 <br /> Public Hearing: August 12, 1986 <br /> Time: 7:30 p. a. Room 224 City-County Building, Madison <br /> We are here this evening to voice our opposition to the application <br /> for rezoning; being: considered by the Dane County Zoning Department. <br /> My husband, Will, and I are in the process of purchasing; the property <br /> directly Eat of the proposed site of Epic Systems, Inc. ode were attracted <br /> to our new home because of its rural setting and all of the beauty that <br /> surrounds it. It was extremely upsetting to us to find out that even <br /> before we are able to close on our new home a commercial enterprise is <br /> attempting to move in across the street. Why are we opposed? <br /> 1 . We have four youns children who must walk down High Point Road <br /> to Aid Town Road twice a day to meet the bus and return home. <br /> The added traffic Epic Systems, Inc. or any other commercial concern <br /> would bring to our area posses a threat to the safety of our children. <br /> 2. Not only will our children be walking on High Point Road frequently, <br /> but they will also be riding bicycles and horses in the vicinity. Again, <br /> employee and service traffic is a threat to the activities we have <br /> planned for our family. Had we wanted traffic problems, we would have <br /> stayed in our home in Arbor Hills in the city of Madison. We moved <br /> here to enjoy the peace of the countryside. <br /> 3. It has come to our attention that High Point Road may be widened at some <br /> point in the future. A surveyor on our property told us that the widening- <br /> will destroy the protective tree-line along High Point Road. Having a <br /> commercial concern in our vicinity would hasten that project and we, of <br /> course hate to see that happen any sooner than is necessary. <br />
