Specific
Matters for Discussion and Possible Action by Town Board in Open Session:
New Business:
a. Shawano
County Zoning Administrator Robert Jacobson was present. He provided the board and the Planning
Commission with a summary of major changes in the new Shawano County Land
Division Ordinance 3-10 which replaces the 1970 Shawano County Subdivision
Ordinance. There was discussion
regarding the bond requirement for operators of non-metallic mining pits and
the possibility of this requirement being a conditional use put on the
conditional-use permit issued by Shawano County or being a requirement before
the operator appears before the Town of Angelica Planning Commission’s
hearing. Jacobson informed the board
that this could be enforced at the county level by placing the bond requirement
as a condition on the conditional-use permit if the town wished to do this.
There was also discussion
regarding interpretation of the A-290 Zone and this zone having a minimum depth
requirement for a lot to be at least 290 feet deep. This is not presently included in the Shawano
County A-290 zone but the town could create its own ordinance having this
requirement. Jacobson gave the town
copies of zoning maps that will be included in the County’s Comprehensive
Plan. The maps were the present Town of
Angelica Zoning, Future Land Use and Zoning Districts.
b. Greg
Manci’s conditional use request application, CU-3-10, to operate a non-metallic
mining pit on 2.6 acres located at W525 Townline Road was reviewed. Planning Commission Chairman Richie Ferfecki
informed the board that the Planning Commission had recommended approval of
this request with 14 recommended conditions being on the permit. The conditions included a bond of $5,000.00
for road repair if the road was damaged and the requirement of having a Land
Reclamation Plan. MOTION (Lewis/Van Asten/PASSED UNANIMOUSLY) to recommend to the
Shawano County Planning & Zoning Committee that approval be given to
CU-3-10 with the fourteen recommended conditions.
c. A
variance request by John Jacobs III for a dwelling to be 610’ from the
right-of-way of Beech Drive where 290’ is the maximum front yard setback in the
A-290 Zone was reviewed. Jacobs wishes
to survey out five acres of a forty-acre parcel as a separate parcel where his
new home will be located. The Town of
Angelica Planning Commission recommended approval of Variance Request V-1-10
inasmuch as there is an existing mound system, drilled well and electric
service in this area where the house burned and the proposed home location is
currently not being farmed. The
Commission also requested that the driveway be 15’ in width in order that fire
and rescue would have access. MOTION ( Van
Asten/Lewis/PASSED UNANIMOUSLY) to recommend approval of V-1-10 to the
Shawano County Board of Adjustment.
Jacobs agreed to have the existing driveway conform to the town’s
ordinance which requires a driveway to be 25 feet at road right-of-way and
first 25 feet from that point ~ then can taper down to 15 feet. The ordinance also requires a driveway of
over 500 feet in length to provide a turn-around in the form of a T which is 25
feet deep and 15 feet wide or other adequate turn-around as approved by the
Town Board.
d. A
variance request by Doug Splan to allow an existing residence and associated
out building to be separated from the parent parcel where the residence will be
in excess of 290’ from the road right-of-way in the A-290 Zone was reviewed. The Town of Angelica Planning Commission
recommended approval of Variance Request V-2-10. It was stated that the banking industry has
recently had many changes and private mortgage insurance companies will now
only allow a maximum of 5 acres as a lot for a home. The existing buildings are now located on
a forty-acre parcel. MOTION
(Lewis/Van Asten/PASSED UNANIMOUSLY) to recommend approval of V-2-10 to the
Shawano County Board of Adjustment.
e. Shawano
County’s Subdivision Ordinance, which replaced the 1970 Shawano County Subdivision
Ordinance, was reviewed earlier in this meeting with Robert Jacobson and the
Town of Angelica Planning Commission members.
f. MOTION (Van Asten/Lewis/PASSED UNANIMOUSLY) to grant an operator’s
license to Jackie S. Wawiorka for the license year ending June 30, 2011.
g. The agenda item to set a
bank depository for the town’s general funds will be put on the August 9, 2010
town board meeting agenda.
h. There was discussion
regarding the town giving a donation to the Supporters of Shawano K-9 non-profit
organization. A request was received in
the latter part of 2009 asking for donations for the expense of equipment,
training and supplies needed to maintain the two dogs that are working with the
Shawano County Sheriff’s Department. One
of these dogs is located in Krakow. It
was the general consensus to give S.O.S. K-9, Inc. a $250.00 donation next
month and put another $250.00 donation in the 2011 budget. A $250.00 donation will be put on the voucher
listing for approval at the August 9, 2010 town board meeting.
