Mr . Lyman Anderson, Chair Page 2 August 18, 1986 At the hearing, several residents from the Town of Middleton voiced their concern that the rural character of the neighborhood be preserved. In addition, the City of Madison, by letter dated August 6, 1986 and signed by George Austin, has objected to rezoning on the basis that sanitary sewer and public water supply is not available to the premises . It is Epic ' s objective that the rural character of the neighborhood not be changed. Given Epic ' s present employment, water and sanitary system utilization shall be considerably less than that needed for a four bedroom single family residence. A certified soils engineer has concluded that soils capacity is more than adequate for Epic ' s needs . The structure shall be small, use shall be limited to an office building, . and care will be taken with respect to landscaping and architecture.

The company is willing to permit the balance of the 17 acre parcel to remain in the A-1 district. As an alternative, or in addition to the foregoing, the company is willing to restrict the use of the entire 17 acre premises, by way of a recordable restrictive covenant, to a single office building not to exceed 30, 000 square feet in area, with parking and utility structures. The restriction would be subject to the provisions of the Dane County ordinances relative to conditions on rezoning. By reducing the area to be rezoned, or by restrictive covenant, or both, the Town and its residents, the City and
