Report
from Town Planning Commission Chairman: Town of Angelica Planning Commission Chairman
Richard Ferfecki informed the board that the Shawano
County Zoning Rewrite that was approved by the Planning, Development &
Zoning Committee was the same as the draft presented earlier at hearings and
that all along from the cluster meetings through the final hearings, the

MOTION (Lewis/Van Asten/PASSED) to close the public comment portion of the meeting.
Specific
Matters for Discussion and Possible Action by Town Board in Open Session:
New Business:
a. Larry
Jarosinski of Angelica Tile Company, Bruce Raymakers and Craig Pionek were
present in regard to their request to place a drainage tile under Green Valley Road
where the Dale D. Pionek property has frontage on the
road near an existing cross-road culvert.
Larry Jarosinski informed the board they would
like to place a 12-inch polyethylene pipe, corrugated on the outside and smooth
inside, that is used for storm sewers two feet lower
than the existing cross-road culvert or between six to seven feet deep. They would place a small amount of stone
alongside the pipe, backfill with original material to the level of aggregate
under the road, put aggregate material back and top dress with a patch of ¾
inch chips which would be packed and maintained for a period of time by
Angelica Tile or the land owner until settling takes place, after which a
black-top patch would be placed as the top surface of the road. A four-foot wide trench would be dug with a
five-foot width of disturbance to the surface of the road. The road would have to be closed to traffic
for about a half day and Jarosinki said that the work
could be done on a Saturday and the board suggested it be done right after the
crops are in.
Chairman Smith had a
concern that anytime you disturb a road you eventually have a dip in the road
and Green Valley Road was the most heavily traveled road in the town. There was discussion in regard to a written agreement that
would address the area being in open gravel for a period of time, maintained
regularly and then blacktopped, with liability ending in two years at the town
board’s discretion. MOTION (Lewis/VanAsten/PASSED UNANIMOUSLY)
to allow Angelica Tile to place a tile under Green Valley Road pending the
signatures on an agreement to be drawn up concerning conditions of the patch
and signed by Larry Jarosinski, Bruce Raymakers and Dale D. Piontek
jointly and separately and their liability would terminate upon board approval
in two years.
b. There was discussion regarding renewal of CU-2-09 ~ Conditional Use Permit to Place a Recreational Vehicle on Robert Czarapata’s Property at W1783 Church Drive to use as Living Quarters. MOTION (Van Asten/Lewis/PASSED UNANIMOUSLY) to recommend renewal of CU-2-09 for a one-year period with the same conditions.
c. Two applications for
Operator’s Licenses from Jackie Reinhard and Lynn
Myers were reviewed. MOTION (Lewis/Van Asten/PASSED
UNANIMOUSLY) to grant Operator’s Licenses to Jackie Reinhard
and Lynn Myers.
d. The Clerk gave the board a
draft of the Annual Financial Report and March Newsletter and it was reviewed
with the board.
