Zwigard Mess

April 29, 2009 Dear Mayor Gunderson, Attached please find a copy of the email that I sent to you, Deputy Mayor Jim Chase, and the village office, on April 6, 2009. That was more than three weeks ago. To date I have not received a response to a very direct question regarding the Zwigard geothermal project. As mayor, I believe that you owe a response to a constituent who poses a reasonable question regarding a project that has fallen far short of how it was presented to the village. Especially to a constituent who is an abutting neighbor to the project and who has property that has been encroached upon by this project. But, the Hollands are not the only ones affected by this mess. The Zwigards have been allowed to make an unsightly disgrace of a public property. This land is owned by the village and should be maintained in a manner which is suitable for use to all its residents. As Chief Executive of this village, and as the person who signed the easement for this project, the responsibility falls on you to see that the terms of the easement are honored, and that the Zwigards are held accountable to the promises that they made to the village. I am now asking you – for a second time – How much longer will the village allow this apparently abandoned project to litter the lake and the village right of way? Thank you,

Laura Holland

The Zwigards project has left the lake and lakeshore littered with pipes and hoses. The village park is a muddy mess. Our property was encroached upon and dug up. There has been no regard shown for their neighbors or to the village from the Zwigards during the course of this project. On Sunday afternoon the Zwigards threw some of the geothermal mess onto our property. I have contacted our lawyers and the mess will be removed from our property by the end of today, one way or the other. How much longer will the village allow this apparently abandoned project to litter the lake and the village right of way? Laura Holland
