Yet Another Attack on Private Property Rights

Town of Perry (Southwest Dane County)-


In yet another attack on private property rights comes a story from southwest Dane County and Perry township.

Seems a land owner (Sean Timmons) came to the town land use commission, applied for a conditional use permit for the ability to create a kennel in which to house and train hunting dogs. Was granted his conditional use and started to move forward with his plans.

At that time some of the neighbors, allegedly stirred up by Town Board Chair and Dane County Supervisor, Pat Downing, decided this wasn't a good use of his property and have now asked the Perry township board to rescind their decision.

To date the only member of the Perry Town Board to want this rescission is Chair Downing. Board members Roger Kittleson (my father) and Larry Price have held their ground and continue to believe their initial decision was correct.

Kudos to them!

What's next:

This issue will be in front of the Dane County Zoning and Land Regulation committee tonight, October 24 at 7:30 in Room 201 of the City-County Building.
