DATE: September 27, 1987 <br /> TO: Town of Verona Planning Commission & Dane County Zoning Committee <br /> I ' <br /> FROM: Wendlewood Subdivision Residents, <br /> Town of Verona <br /> It is our intention to oppose and take a stand against the zoning petition <br /> # 4091 submitted by Fred Bachmann, 4656 Highway TT, Sun Prairie. A large <br /> number of residents appeared at the planning commission meeting held <br /> September 24, 1987, at the Town Hall. <br /> The arrogance of the petitioner, Mr. Bachmann, was plain as day. He never <br /> showed up to discuss the matter. As a matter of fact, the two individuals <br /> representing the surveying firm who did appear acknowledged the fact that <br /> neither one of them had even seen the property in question. This clearly <br /> establishes their motivation--that zoning changes of this type tend to <br /> provide windfall gains for the owner while adjacent landowners suffer <br /> negatively--especially financially. <br /> It is the general sentiment and consensus of the residents that support exists <br /> for a possible variance in allowing the petitioner to subdivide into two lots <br /> rather than the three proposed trisections. <br /> Granting this zoning change will alter the character of the neighborhood <br /> permanently. It is a fact that the original Wendtwood plot contained one lot <br /> which is now being considered to be subdivided into three. It is also a fact <br /> that most present neighborhood lots contain acreage 3/4 on up. Our land and <br /> property values will decline. The new homes would have to be much smaller to <br /> fit on the lots. <br /> This action, if granted, will foster further hodgepodge land use and will have <br /> a negative impact on the quality of life of our neighborhood. Other concerns <br /> we have are population density, automobile traffic, noise, air quality, <br /> drainage, and public health and safety. <br />
