Draft Minutes March 3rd Public Hearing – for the purpose of receiving comments on proposed updates to the Town of Verona Comprehensive Plan A. Geller opened the public hearing at 6:35 pm. Robert Blasdal, 7607 Riverside Rd, regarding proposed Area A, would prefer no residential housing in this area and it be preserved by restricting development of valuable farmland. Shari Blasdal, 7607 Riverside Rd, against the development of the 76 acres. There will be increased traffic and development will decrease their property value. This is the 5 th development in this area. Curt Wedig, 116 Valley View Rd, Mt Horeb. Poast family had the opportunity to purchase this land but it didn’t work out. Topsoil in this area is only 6 – 12 inches of soil – not good farmland. He will continue to farm this land until it is developed. More development will spread the tax burden among the residents. Revenue from taxes will help with upkeep of the roads. He plans on residing in this development. He would like the board and plan commission to consider the 2 – 4 acres request. B. Geller closed the public hearing at 6:52 pm.
