TO: DANE COUNTY AGRICULTURE ENVIROMENT AND LAND RECORDS COMM. % DANE COUNTY ZONING DEPARTMENT ROOM 116 CITY—COUNTY BUILDING ta :GO`.`" M Poo ADISON, WI 53709 a`"° SUBJECT: ZONING PEITION # 3831 DEC 0 91985 TOWN OF WINDSOR FROM: KEN AND KAREN WOMACKi1� 4484 WINDSOR RD. BOX 211 WINDSOR, WI 53598 BECAUSE OF THE CONFLICT BETWEEN THE COUNTY MEETING AND THE TOWNSHIP MEETING WE ARE UNABLE TO ATTEND YOUR MEETING TONIGHT, AND WILL, INSTEAD BE ATTENDING THE TOWN BOARD MEETING, WHERE SOME OF OUR CONCERNS MAY BE ANSWERED. IN GENERAL WE ARE NOT OPPOSED TO THE ZONING CHANGE. WE ARE, HOWEVER CONCERNED ABOUT THE FOLLOWING: A. WHEN A SIMILAR PROPOSAL WAS INTRODUCED SOMETIME AGO THE OWNER AND DEVELOPER WERE INFORMED ABOUT THE NECESSITY TO BRING FORTH SOME SORT OF A PLAN TO DRAIN THE SOUTH END OF THE PROPERTY. THIS IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE THE DRAINAGE, OR LACK OF IT AFFECTS MUCH OF THE PROPERTY IN WINDSOR, INCLUDING THE LOCAL PARK . IDEALLY THEY WOULD WORK WITH THE PROPERTY OWNERS ON THE EAST SIDE OF LAKE RD./C.V. B. THE PRELIMINARY PLAT MAP DOES INCLUDE 30 ' DRAINAGE EASEMENTS THAT APPEAR TO SURROUND ALL OF THE LOTS, THIS APPARENTLY REFLECTS THE NEED TO "DRAIN" MUCH OF THE AREA TO BE DEVELOPED. THAT IS ANOTHER CONCERN, THAT MUCH OF THE PLAN IS ON LAND THAT CURRENTLY HAS A WATER PROBLEM, AND IS GROWING CATTAILS. IN ADDITION, ALL OF THE LAND THAT IS LISTED AS PARKLAND IS ALSO UNDER WATER. C. THE LAND ADJACENT TO LAKE RD/ C.V. AND WINDSOR ROAD IS NOT SHOWN AS BEING DEVELOPED, AND YET THERE APPEARS TO BE A POSSIBLE ROAD THAT WILL EVENTUALLY ACCESS ON LAKE ROAD/C.V. AT A PREVIOUS MEETING, WE. UNDERSTOOND THAT THE DANE COUNTY HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT WOULD NOT ALLOW FURTHER ACCESS ON THIS ROAD. IF THIS UNDEVELOPED LAND IS LATER DEVELOPED, IS THERE CONSIDERATION FOR SOME KIND OF FRONTAGE ROAD? THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE RESOLVED BEFORE THE STREET PLAN FOR THIS ZONING CHANGE IS ACCEPTED.
