Chairman Smith reported: (1) the Pulaski Tri-County Fire Department board did not have a December meeting (2) N.E.W. Para-Medic Rescue operated in the black this past year and should show a balance in the range of $5,000.00 which will be given back to the municipalities. The N.E.W. Para-Medic Rescue board is suggesting that the year-end balance be put into the equipment fund.

Clerk Powers reported: (1) when checking with the Shawano County Register of Deeds it was found that Gene and Mary Ann Beyersdorf had only recorded an easement to Aaron & Cathie Beilfuss and there was no easement recorded for Vernon & Victoria Kohn as they had agreed to do when a portion of Carroll Road was discontinued by the town in November. The Clerk was instructed to write a letter to the Beyersdorfs and remind them of the need to record an easement from them to the Kohns. (2) a complaint received in regard to a business in the town not separating recycling materials from garbage. In the Fall 2006 issue of Recycling News there was an article on improving non-residential recycling and increasing enforcement efforts by the Responsible Units and the DNR.

Report from Town Planning Committee Chairman: Chairman Richard Ferfecki was present and said he would save his comments until agenda items CU-1-07 and V-1-07 came up.

Public Comments: MOTION (Powers/Lewis/PASSED) to open the Public Comments portion of the meeting. Harold Dryja had a concern regarding the County requiring him to obtain a variance for constructing a metal storage building on his property in Krakow when in the past several other similar buildings have been put up without a variance being required and a question as to why two of his lots were now zoned residential when he was under the impression they had been zoned commercial. MOTION (Lewis/Powers/PASSED) to close the Public Comments portion of the meeting.

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

New Business:

a. Request CU-1-07 by Richard Kloes Jr. and Danielle Kloes for a conditional use permit to construct a pond on 35.6 acres they own on Town Line Road was brought to the town board after having been recommended for approval by the Town of Angelica Planning Committee at their January 2, 2007 meeting. Danielle Kloes was present and showed the board the plans for the pond. Kloes informed the board that the DNR had reviewed their plans and had no concerns regarding them. Kloes also informed the board that the placement of the pond could be in a different area than the plan showed. It would be located closest to Town Line Road and would conform to all required setbacks. Sanitary perc tests are going to be taken as soon as they are able to do the work and the pond location could be moved slightly depending on where the best perc is obtained and the site for building their future home is determined. Kloes stated that the pond could be 12 feet deep but no more than 20 feet deep and the depth would be dependent upon soil conditions and the slope requirements of the Town of Angelica Development Standards/Requirements for Ponds. MOTION (Lewis/Powers/PASSED UNANIMOUSLY) to approve Town of Angelica CU-1-07 to construct a pond on the Richard Kloes Jr. and Danielle Kloes property according to the Town of Angelica Development Standards/Requirements for Ponds.

b. Request V-1-07 by Harold Dryja for a variance to construct a 24’ x 30’ garage with steel siding and steel roofing on their property zoned residential in Krakow was brought to the town board after having been recommended for approval by the Town of Angelica Planning Committee at their January 2, 2007 meeting. Harold Dryja was present and stated that after obtaining a town building permit he went in to the Shawano County Planning & Zoning Department to obtain a land-use permit and was informed that constructing a garage with steel siding and a steel roof did not conform to the residential zoning requirements and he would have to obtain a variance to construct such a building. The town board acknowledged that there are many such buildings in residential areas of the town that have been constructed in the past several years without obtaining a variance. Richard Ferfecki stated that the Town of Angelica Planning Committee recommended approval of variance request V-1-07 and also recommended that two conditions be required, namely that the floor of the garage must be cemented and the garage would only be used as a personal storage shed. MOTION (Lewis/Smith/PASSED UNANIMOUSLY) to recommend to the Shawano County Board of Adjustment that the request for a variance by Harold Dryja to construct a 24’ x 30’ garage with steel siding and steel roofing on his property in Krakow be approved with the conditions recommended by the Town of Angelica Planning Committee.

c. A draft of Resolution 1-8-07 – Establishing Public Participation Procedures for Comprehensive Plan was reviewed by the town board. MOTION (Lewis/Powers/PASSED) to approve Resolution 1-8-07 for the establishment of public participation procedure for the comprehensive plan as presented.

d. Chairman Smith stated that Attorney Kenneth Rottier retired at the end of last year. There was discussion as to what attorney the town might use when legal advice is needed. The general consensus was to check with the Shawano County Corporate Counsel to see if he could give the town board some names of attorneys in the area to consider for doing the town’s legal work.

e. Because Shawano County will no longer be able to host the town’s website, the town will have to find another provider for hosting the website. MOTION (Powers/Smith/PASSED) to have Clerk Powers check this out and select a provider to host the town website.

f. CD No. 4528875505 matured on January 22, 2007. Treasurer Matuszak gave the board a summary of present interest rates for CDs. MOTION (Smith/Lewis/PASSED) to authorize Treasurer Matuszak to renew the CD at Citizens Bank at an interest rate of 5.25% but not to renew it if there is a drastic change from that rate.

g. There was discussion regarding which two miles of road should be considered for reconstruction in 2007. Action on selection of which roads will be selected will take place after the board members take a look together at the roads mentioned.
