GLASS CARVINGS Division of Arlance Inc. 4240 Acker Road Madison, WI 53704 February 22, 1984 608-241-8111 Dane County Zoning Commission c/o Zoning Division. Room 116 City County Building Madison, Wisconsin. 53709 To whom it may concern; I am writing this letter in reference to the application for rezoning for the purpose of issuance of a beer license at 4230 Acker Road Madison, Wi. 53704. My place of business is located at 4240 Acker Road, next to Mr. Skalitzky's current business of United R V. My wife and I own a glass business and recently moved into our location last October, 19830 We also spent thousands of dollars to MG&E bringing electricity to the building as it is a new structure. The reason I bring this up is to show that even though we rent this location we had every intention of making it a long term commitment. When we first heard about Mr. Skalitzky's application for a liquor license we were opposed to it and voiced our opposition at the Town of Burke meeting of January 3, 1984. Also at the meeting a list was passed around for everyone in attendance to give their name and address. Days after the meeting was held we were told that the request for liquor license was refused and that Mr. Skalitzky was now going to apply for a beer license. On January 17, 1984 I attended another Town of Burke meeting. At this meeting no participation from the public was allowed. After discussion by the board Stephanie Jensen made a motion to approve the beer application. There was no seconds to that motion from any other member there. At that time the request was denied. I left that meeting thinking the matter was over. Evidently I was wrong. On February 14, 1984, while I was out of town on a business trip, I found out a meeting was held before the Dane County Zoning Commission because the Town of Burke changed their mind and approved the beer license application. As a local businessman and having signed the list for attending the January 3rd meeting, I thought notification of this change would have been made by the Town of Burke. Again I was mistaken.
