Specific Matters for Discussion and Possible Action by Town Board in Open Session:

a. Request Z-3-06 by Robert Piper for a zone change from A-290 to A-G of a 4.986 acre parcel for the purpose of obtaining a conditional use permit to construct and operate a farm equipment sales and service operation on his property at W2182 County Road S was brought to the town board from the Town of Angelica Planning Committee without any recommendation for either approval or denial as the committee was deadlocked with a two to two vote because of the absence of one committee member. Piper stated that he was presently renting a shop in Green Bay and he would like to have a shop on his property on County Road S to service farm equipment and other heavy equipment and be involved in the buying and selling of farm equipment with there being about a fifty-fifty split because servicing farm equipment and servicing other heavy equipment. Planning Committee chairman Richard Ferfecki stated he had recommended approval if restrictions would be placed on the operation and it would have a 50-foot setback from a wetland area with a grass buffer area. Committee member Barbara McKeefry who had recommended denying approval of the request stated the location was in an area where residential lots have been created and the lot on which the shop would be placed is not a thirty-five acre lot but a five-acre lot. Gino Stocco raised a concern that the operation would look like several other operations in the area that serviced farm equipment and had tractors and other equipment that could be used for parts sitting around on the property and this would result in lowering the value of neighboring homes and property. Upon questioning, Piper stated that he would not be able to store all of the equipment in the proposed shop and that he would be open 24/7 in regard to hours of operation. MOTION (Lewis/Smith/PASSED unanimously) to recommend to the Shawano County PD&Z Committee the denial of Request Z-3-06 for a zone change from A-290 to A-G of the Robert Piper property at W2182 County Road S for the purpose of operating a farm equipment sales and service operation.

b. Roger Perret was present in regard to a drainage problem on his property and neighboring properties because water was backing up in a waterway as a result of not having a large enough culvert under his driveway to allow the water to flow. There was discussion about diverting the water into the road ditch on the east side of Elm Road in front of these properties with ditching cost sharing of 75 per cent for the town and 25 per cent for the property owners. A concern was raised about being able to maintain a three-to-one slope for the road ditch within the road right-of-way and the possibility of needing the use of additional land from the properties to maintain that slope. Neighboring property owner John Downey was present but another property owner, Brad Prentice, was not. Chairman Smith said that he would try to get Grant from the County Highway Department out as soon as possible and have some readings taken to see just how deep the ditch would have to be in front of the Perret, Downey and Prentice properties and this would be brought up at a future meeting.

c. Applications for Operator’s Licenses from Theresa Tanner and Rebecca Schreiter were reviewed. MOTION (Powers/Lewis/PASSED unanimously) to approve issuing Operator’s Licenses to Theresa Tanner and Rebecca Schreiter.

d. There was discussion in regard to the town finding deer hides, old carpeting, tires and large stones in the town road ditches. There had been complaints from people seeing stones being moved into the town road ditch on Hickory Drive. A letter had been written to the property owner on Hickory Drive in April of 2004 and no action was taken on the property owner or the town’s part. A draft of an order pursuant to State Statute 86.04 to remove the large stones in the town road right of way was reviewed. MOTION (Powers/Lewis/PASSED) to approve the town board order and send a letter along with the order to the property owner on Hickory Drive.

e. MOTION (Lewis/Powers/PASSED) to set the fees for Driveway and/or Culvert permits as follows: $30.00 for a building, $15.00 for a field entrance and $50.00 for a commercial entrance and to increase the fee for installing a 911 Property Number to $25.00.

f. Treasurer Lisa Matuszak reported on services and rates offered by both Citizens Bank and Premier Bank. No motion was made to change the bank depositories for the town and the town’s general account will remain at Citizens Bank and the money market tax depository will remain at Premier Bank.

g. Scott Nordin of Nordin-Pedersen Associates had prepared plans for the addition to and remodeling of the town hall following the special meeting with him on April 13, 2006. The general consensus was for each board member to look over his copy of those plans and then set up a meeting with Nordin in order to have bid specs drawn up.

Specific Town Board Notice and Agenda for Upcoming Town Board Meeting: The next town board meeting will be held on the third Monday of the month, Monday, June 19, 2006, rather than the usual second Monday of the month. Agenda items at this time for the June meeting are the billing of Matt Folkman for a fire call and an addition to the town driveway/culvert ordinance requiring the property owner to have a driveway culvert installed or have a driveway in place within thirty days of obtaining the permit and before any home or other construction work starts. Also, a draft of a Planning Commission Ordinance will be prepared and a special meeting will be set up between the Planning Committee and the town board to review the proposed ordinance.
