notice list and still does not receive notices. The constant beeping of trucks,the dust and <br /> gravel on the road,and general destruction of the road are concerning. Expansion of the <br /> northern area will cause additional traffic noise. She further stated that she is against the <br /> 20 year permit because there is too much residential change going on and there will be a <br /> big hole in the ground when annexation happens—that is very concerning. She asked the <br /> Board to consider the six standards. She feels they are unable to meet five of them. They <br /> let their CUP expire not once but twice and they did blast last summer. Carefully <br /> consider what we have put forward. <br /> Ms. Godfrey stated that she had blasting notices from last summer for the Board to <br /> review. (copies of the notices were made and included in the record) <br /> Vivian Lehman,3382 Sandy Lee Lane. She stated that she is new to the Town in the last <br /> couple years and is opposed for the same reasons as previous speakers. She agrees with <br /> everything previously stated. <br /> Paul Johnson,attorney for Madison Crushing,requested a few minutes to respond and <br /> clarify. He explained the three areas of the quarry. The northern area the CUP is <br /> expired. The southern area the CUP is expired and the middle area,the grandfathered <br /> section,has no rules. When the permits expired the blasting stopped. They did continue <br /> to operate in the grandfathered area which they are allowed to do. He stated that if a <br /> violation occurs,one needs to call the zoning and land regulation department. They are <br /> available to residents to report illegal goings on in the quarry. There have been no phone <br /> calls to this department. As far as the reclamation project,the county is granting an <br /> extension of time for a renewal of the CUP. Reclamation is not a requirement at this <br /> time. He further stated that the quarry has been in existence continually since 1969. <br /> Every planning decision has been made by the county,Town Board and the State of <br /> Wisconsin with full knowledge of the existence of Madison Crushing. <br /> As far as the ruling or comment of Judge Pekowsky in 1989,if the residents of Sandy Lee <br /> Lane thought they had something that is actionable,they have had 25 years to do <br /> something about it. They have done nothing to remedy it and we are not here to re- <br /> litigate. <br /> Ms.Backenkeller read Roger Lane's letter of January 31 referencing eight public <br /> concerns expressed at the ZLR committee meeting on January 24 and that all eight have <br /> not been addressed. (letter attached in Board packet). <br /> Attorney Johnson responded that in his letter of February 10,he responded to the eight <br /> concerns referenced. He noted that number 6 in regards to willing to come out and <br /> survey residences stated the quarry is not in a position to go and inspect a person's home. <br /> Ms.Backenkeller stated that,no one has the right to use their land in a way that is going <br /> to harm a neighboring property owner. Further stating this property is zoned ag and <br /> allowing the expansion will be a nuisance to a growing number of neighbors. Why <br /> should we pay property damage for one company to profit. <br /> 3 <br />
