Page 2 Albion meeting and what was understood by the public are separate matters.' Considering the high level of public concern regarding this application, I hope that this Committee will take the time, and additional measures if needed, to ensure that the public has adequate opportunity to express their concerns before this Committee. With respect to the CUP application, Mallwood strongly opposes granting the permit for numerous reasons. As described in the attached correspondence to the Town of Albion Board and Planning Commission, Hoffman Construction (the agent for Eastman Hunting Club) has not demonstrated that the proposed use would meet the criteria required by the Dane County Zoning Ordinance. Rather, the proposed mineral extraction operation, concrete batch plant and asphalt plant would significantly interfere with the uses, values, and enjoyment or nearby property and would be detrimental to the public health safety, comfort and welfare —particularly, considering the close proximity of the site to wetlands, Lake Koshkonong and numerous residential developments. In addition, the documents provided by Hoffman Construction to the Town of Albion and to the County, in many respects, do not meet the application standards set forth in the Dane County Zoning Ordinance. Exhibit A to my attached correspondence describes those deficiencies. Finally, if any permit were to be granted, we submit that additional review and conditions are necessary. Proposed conditions submitted to the Town of Albion are also provided with the attachment. Respectfully submitted, WHEELER,VAN SICKLE&ANDERSON, S.C. J sica J. Shrestha Direct: 608-441-3839 Jshrestha@wheelerlaw.com Justin W. Chasco Direct: 608-441-3813 Jchasco @wheelerlaw.com I was not able to attend the last Town of Albion meeting. However, my colleague Attorney Justin Chasco and numerous members of the public did attend—and my request is based on their understanding.
