MASSING `�`!/f/_K�,t�� ¢ !Also Atlmilteo Floro l 116 KING STREET, SUITE 2B MADISON, WISCONSIN 53703 TELEPHONE 608-255-8080 July 28, 1987 Lyman Anderson, Chairman Dane County Agricultural , Environment and JUL 28 1Q8? Land Records Committee Room 116, City County Building 210 Martin Luther King , Jr . Blvd . Madison, WI 53709 RE: Zoning Petition #3936 Dear Mr . Anderson: On behalf of my client , Frank Musillami , I am writing to urge your committee to vote in support of the proposed rezoning of the Musillami land on Airport Road , Town of Middleton, from A-1 to LC-1 . I have been advised by Ed Tallard , Town Chairman, that the Town Board voted against this rezoning at its meeting on July 13. The alleged reasons for rejection were that the property is located too close to residential property , and that truck access onto Airport Road would cause traffic problems . These "problems" were never discussed with me or my client and are mere pretenses for denial of a legitimate rezoning request . Mr . Musillami has expressed his willingness to abide by restrictions on the number of vehicles to be stored on the property , and has indicated his willingness to store vehicles only in the existing building . It is interesting to note that earlier this year a similar rezoning request , petition no . 3849 , was granted to rezone from A-i to LC-1 after the owner had commenced construction of a storage facility for a dump truck , which facility could not legally be constructed in an A-1 district . In addition to the questionable denial of a request for rezoning , I also take exception to the manner in which this petition has been handled . After my letter to Kenneth Biller of May 22 ( a copy of which was previously provided to you) , I was invited to appear at the Town Board meeting of June 8 to discuss this matter . I appeared , accompanied by Mrs. Musillami , and responded to all questions presented . At that meeting , Mr . Tallard raised concerns that the proposed LC-1 zoning not accompany the land upon sale, but that it revert to A-1 at that time. I indicated that the Musillami ' s were agreeable to this because they wish to make use of the existing facility on their land at this time. Mr . Tallard indicated that he would discuss that means for assuring reversion of the zoning , as well as the possibility of rezoning only that part of land where the building is located , with Mr . Scribner . Mr . Tallard said he would contact me thereafter .
