LISA LANE STANCER, Legal Assistant MARY J. BENISCH, Legal Assistant WADDELL OF COLUMBUS, S.C. LAN WADDELL Attorney at Law 1345 PARK AVENUE POST OFFICE BOX 407 COLUMBUS, WI 53925 July 28, 2006 Dane County Planning and Zoning Attn: Mr. Norbert Scribner City -County Building 210 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. Madison, WI 53703 RE: Oestreich Property, Town of Christiana Dear Mr. Scribner: OFFICE: (920) 623-1111 FAX: (920) 623-4011 MARSHALL: (608) 655-1313 Our office represents the interest of Jack Oestreich, owner of real estate located at 1784 State Road 73, Cambridge, WI, Sec. 34 in the Town of Christiana. T first became familiar. with the Oestreich family when Jack's mother, Helen, was issued Citation No. ZT2000-789, and approached my client, Hans Lein, about purchasing some of his land to correct a lot line problem which was the basis for the citation. Looking back through my old files, I found that on July 31, 2002, I faxed Scott Schroeckenthaler regarding the Oestreich/Lein transaction. I am enclosing a copy of the deed from Lein Acres to Helen Oestreich for your reference; for some reason I do not have a recorded copy in my file. I am also enclosing a copy of the plat of survey prepared by Dave Riesop which provided the parcel correction. At that time, I indicated to Mr. Lein that, from my perspective, to the degree that the Oestreich family had occupied more than their deeded property, they would have the right to retain that land by adverse possession. We then went slightly beyond the occupation line and deeded the parcel to them and to the best of my knowledge that cured the county's concerns which had been expressed in the citation. My understanding is that Helen and her husband bought the original property during the late 1950's, and apparently had an inaccurate view of what their property lines were at that time. Questions were later raised by the county by virtue of the citation. It would appear the Oestreich's responded by acquiring the additional, land necessary from their neighbor, Hans Lein.. I believe the ultimate conveyance is consistent with the original correction requested by Mr.
