Dear Editor: After taking a few days to calm down and collect my thoughts, I still feel discouraged and disgusted after attending a recent Dane County Board of Adjustment meeting.
The community presented facts supported by the University of Wisconsin, the UW Arboretum, the DNR and the Arboretum Neighborhood Association. Some members of the board, however, seemed not to listen to the facts and instead proposed a motion in favor of granting two unwarranted variances.
The issue is the proposed granting of variances on two substandard-sized, wooded, shoreland lots in the Arboretum.
