My name is Dan Allen,and I reside at 1851 Sand Ridge Ct.,in the Town of Springdale. <br /> When Mr.Steinhauer initially began his car repair business,he was content to operate <br /> from his property next door however he wanted to do it,without regard for his neighbors,and <br /> without a proper permit. When the Township of Springdale and the Dane County Zoning <br /> Division became aware of this,only then did he apply for a Conditional Use Permit. I was <br /> against the issuance of the permit at that time,but the Township wanted to allow Mr. <br /> Steinhauer to operate a"Hobby/Part-time"business that would service the vehicles belonging <br /> to friends and family. <br /> Since that time,Mr.Steinhauer has demonstrated that he is unable or unwilling to abide by the <br /> simplest of rules,set forth in the C.U.P. He has established a history of breaking or bending the <br /> rules,if it satisfies his own agenda,and the only time he complies with the laws,is when he gets <br /> caught breaking them. Mr.Steinhauer has violated the conditions of his permit time and again. <br /> But perhaps the most flagrant violation is the"thumbing of his nose"at his neighbors and the <br /> Township. While hiding under the guise of a part-time Conditional Use Permit,he chose to <br /> operate his business FULL time for over 2 years! This type of behavior serves to accomplish but <br /> one thing...a violation of the TRUST relationship that is inherently critical,whenever anyone <br /> asks the Township to deviate from norm. As a neighbor,once this trust has been broken,I find <br /> it impossible to believe anything Mr.Steinhauer says... his word has no credibility. How can I <br /> be sure he hasn't commited worse violations? I now question things like the proper disposal of <br /> toxic waste materials,perhaps affecting the quality of our ground water. Nurmerous new and <br /> worrisome concerns make their way into my mind,once MY trust has been broken. <br /> As a neighbor whose property values are at stake,I would ask the Township Board to REVOKE <br /> the C.U.P.,based not so much on my personal statement,but on the facts and findings of the <br /> Dane Co.Zoning inspector. I ask that you NOT entertain a"tweaking"of the conditions,or <br /> consider issuing a new/different permit. That would only create future incidents of NON- <br /> 1 <br />
