Department of Planning and Development <br /> Planning/Inspection/Real Estate/Community Development/Economic Development <br /> City of George E. Austin, Director <br /> Madison <br /> / ■ <br /> August 17, 1984 <br /> Ms. Mary Weisensel , Chairperson <br /> Dane County Agriculture, Environment & Zoning Committee <br /> c/o Dane County Zoning Department <br /> Room 116, City-County Building <br /> 210 Monona Avenue <br /> Madison, WI 53709 <br /> Dear Ms. Weisensel : <br /> The City of Madison expresses its qualified support for Petition 3302 <br /> that would rezone the former Queen of Apostles High School building and <br /> immediately adjacent lands from R4 - Residential to C2 - Commercial . <br /> Our support is based on the purchase of the real estate and existing <br /> buildings and its use for electro-mechanical and computer research by <br /> Astronautics Corporation of America with headquarters offices in <br /> Milwaukee, Wisconsin. We very strongly support that part of Petition <br /> 3302 that rezones from B-1 Local Business to A-1 Exclusive Agriculture, <br /> the 600 feet of Cottage Grove Road frontage that had been zoned B-1 in <br /> January, 1984 for a strip commercial center. <br /> The area is outside the present Central Urban Service Area and is not <br /> served by public sanitary sewer or public water system. <br /> If any of the C2 - Commercial is for the purpose of developing retail or <br /> general commercial use, we would object to that portion. <br /> Such retail or general commercial at this location would be totally <br /> inconsistent with the Objectives and Policies for regional development <br /> as set forth in the Dane County Land use Plan, specifically: <br /> 1. That the pattern of development should maintain the visual and <br /> functional distinction between urban and rural areas. <br /> 2. That development should be encouraged in the form of compact <br /> contiguous growth around existing cities and villages. <br /> 3. That scattered development of non-farm land uses in the agricultural <br /> areas of the County should be discouraged. <br /> Madison Municipal Building <br /> 215 Monona Avenue <br /> Madison,Wisconsin 53710 <br /> 608 266 4635 <br />
