J! ; IO, . and - yENSIVE ENGINE�� gNNMENTS—LAND SV�v November 6, 1974 RECEIVED NOV 1974 George Weir Dane County Surveyor DANECOUNTYSAMVEYOR 210 Monona Ave. Madison, Wis. 53709 Dear George: There seems to be a conflict between the present location of the Dane County monument set by Tony Thousand on 4/5/74 and the location asked for by a survey done by Robert W. Baker, October 3, 1958. This survey was not placed on record for the public to benefit. I called Baker and asked him for some recollection of his survey and he proved to be unenlightening. He is no longer practicing surveying; does not have a current license; works for the state Highway Department in a surveying capacity; could not recall what evidence he used at this corner. I was not sure what to do other than report what I had found to be the facts as they existed. I would not have been overly concerned, but I discovered drawings from Dane County Engineering Department substantiating Baker's corner. I called to ask what evidence they had and their notes were not definite. The actual displacement from where the monument is now would be 12 feet South and 5 feet West. I talked to Leander Hellenbrand, age 45 to 50 who was the original grantor in 1958. He said he could never remember any evidence being there. Also, he has lived there all his life. It's rather difficult to tell just how aware he was of the corner. The purpose of this report is to put the situation on record, so it can be used as reference if you think future action is necessary. Yours truly, D'Onofrio, Kottke & Associates, Inc. /aell RGB:kw Robert G. Bruce Encl. A.J. D'ONOFRIO, P.E., L.S. / DAVID M. KOTTKE, P.E., L.S. / ROBERT G.
