• November 11, 1986 Dane County Agriculture and Zoning Committee Lyman Anderson, Chairman City-County Building Madison WI Re: Petition #3779 by Tom and Linda Junck to rezone from R-1 to LC-1 Dear 1.ir Anderson and Committee Members , We have been residents of Horseshoe Bend for nine years and we share a common lot line of over 1300 feet with Tom and Linda Junck. We felt fortunate to find such an attractive suburban cluster of homes in which to settle , with congenial people and park-like yards backed by Dane County woods . We were aware that Jr Junck was self-employed as an electri- cal contractor, and that his wife Linda served as his able business partner. However, the first years of our acquaintance , there was no evidence of a business except for a well-kept blue van with the logo of the company in the driveway. About four years ago Mr Junck asked us to not object to his application to put up a storage building "slightly larger" than the garden shed he had. He explained that it was needed to store articles from his zarage so that he could shelter his cars , and we were told that it would not be used for other than storage . He mentioned that it would be placed on the far corner of his lot over a slight rise in the land and would be "hardly noticeable" from our yard. Shortly thereafter, we came home to find a build- ing approximately 30 x 40, and placed as near to our lot line as it was legal to build An overhead garage door was added, a drive- way, electricity, then a heating stove and chimney and a telephone extension. Soon a hydraulic bucket truck was refurbished and added . . .then salvage trucks for parts and two salvage autos were parked by the building. We were misled about the size of tie building, the location, and the use of the building---and we were angry with ourselves for not requesting a copy of the building perrr:it before being so accomodating. But we had not had previous occasion to distrust Mr Junck.
