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

New Business:

a. Mark Gewont, Director of the Shawano County Tavern League, presented the board with a check of $200.00 as a donation to the Krakow Community Park and indicated there would be a matching $200.00 donation coming from the State Tavern League. The board expressed their appreciation to Gewont for this donation.

b. Brian Egnarski was present in regard to Request Z-2-07 by Performance Auto Body for a zone change from AG to CG to allow an existing auto service station to expand on State Highway 32 north of Pulaski. The request was recommended for approval by the Town of Angelica Planning Committee at its meeting on July 2, 2007. Planning Committee Chairman Richard Ferfecki stated no one appeared opposing this request for a zone change and indicated conditions were recommended in regard to landscaping requirements and architectural control as specified in the town’s land-use plan. Egnarski informed the town board that the business was established by his father in 1965 which was before Shawano County Zoning was established and an addition to the business was done in 1971 and the septic system was updated in 2003 with no mention being made to them at those times in regard to how the business was zoned. Planning Committee Chairman Richard Ferfecki also brought three concerns to the board regarding (1) Shawano County requiring a property owner to obtain a variance to put up an outbuilding further back than 290 feet from the property line in the A-290 zone (2) a variance request for a property owner in Krakow that is zoned both RS-20 and AG who wants to place a building closer to the property line than allowed in setback regulations and (3) approval by the County Board of Adjustment for a request for extension of a variance to construct a single-family dwelling beyond the 290-foot maximum setback in the A-290 zone.

c. A draft of Ordinance 7-9-07 in regard to establishment of a Town of Angelica Plan Commission was reviewed by the board. A copy of the draft had been given to Shawano County Planner Melinda Barlow for review and was okayed by her. MOTION (Lewis/Powers/PASSED UNANIMOUSLY) to approve adoption of Ordinance 7-9-07 as presented in the draft of the ordinance given the board.

A Mission/Vision Statement prepared by the Town of Angelica Planning Committee was reviewed by the board. MOTION (Powers/Lewis/PASSED) to approve the Vision Statement as presented to the board by the Chairman of the Planning Committee Richard Ferfecki.

d. Applications for twelve Operator’s Licenses were reviewed by the town board. MOTION (Smith/Lewis/PASSED) to approve the twelve applications as presented to the board and instructed the Clerk not to issue the Operator’s License to Santana L. Saldana until the license fee is paid.

e. Chairman Smith informed the board that he had been talking to Matt Maroszek in regard to the control of trees and brush in the road right of way by using Spray Master. It was recommended that the town spray half of the roads one year and do the other half the following year. Chairman Smith is going to follow up on this in regard to cost estimates on a time and material basis and setting up a time frame for application of the spray.

f. There was discussion in regard to making revisions to the town’s Driveway/Culvert Ordinance which would address responsibility for road damage when construction work is being done on private property especially during the construction of a driveway, limiting driveways to one per parcel, changing the maximum length of a driveway culvert from 35 feet to 36 feet and requiring property owners to put “pans” on both ends of culverts as a safety measure in case a vehicle ran into the road ditch and hit a culvert. A draft of these revisions will be an agenda item for the August town board meeting.

Specific Town Board Notice and Agenda for Upcoming Town Board Meeting: A meeting to open bids for reconstruction of Elm Road and Maple Road is set for Tuesday, July 10, 2007 at 1:30 p.m. The next town board meeting is scheduled for Monday, August 13, 2007 at 6:30 p.m. Agenda items suggested were (1) revisions to the Driveway/Culvert Ordinance (2) an ordinance to require the payment of delinquent taxes before issuance of any town permits/licenses and (3) new 911 numbers for the town to comply with an upcoming Shawano County Ordinance.

Voucher Listing/Payment of Bills: MOTION (Powers/Lewis/PASSED) to approve payment of vouchers V-3723 through V-3763.
