TOWN OF ANGELICA RESIDENTS AND PROPERTY OWNERS:

GARBAGE & RECYCLING PICKUP: The day for garbage and recyclable pickup in the entire town is every other Monday. Garbage and recyclables must be out by seven o’clock in the morning for pickup. See the 2007 calendar enclosed giving the schedule for garbage and recyclable pickup and also information in regard to garbage and recycling requirements in the town. There is a five-bag limit per home per every other week pickup. Landlords – please give this schedule to your renters.

Please be reminded that garbage stickers are not to be placed on lids of garbage cans or directly on the garbage can. When using garbage cans, place a sticker on one of the garbage articles in the can that can be easily seen by the garbage pickup person.

RECYCLE RECYCLE

We strongly encourage you to keep in mind that recycling helps everyone! Recycling preserves natural resources, saves energy and reduces the need to open new landfills. In short, it helps preserve the environment for us and for future generations. Also, it has been state law for over ten years that everyone in Wisconsin is to recycle newspaper, magazines, cardboard, food and beverage containers, tires, yard waste, appliances, motor oil, lead acid batteries and office paper. If we are to continue to receive the annual recycling grant from the State of Wisconsin we must certify that our recycling pounds per capita are within certain state standards

BURNING POLICY IN THE Town of Angelica: It is illegal to burn wet combustible rubbish, garbage, oily substances, asphalt, plastic, tires, rubber or treated or painted wood. It is also illegal to burn paper and cardboard that are to be recycled. Before burning, please obtain a copy of the Town of Angelica’s policy on open burning. It is available on the town’s website or by contacting the Town Clerk. In the case of large amounts to be burned, notify the Pulaski Tri-County Fire Department Chief, Frank Wichlacz, at 920-822-5630 and the Shawano County Sheriff Department at 920-822-7905 (8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. week days only) or 715-526-3111 (non-emergency 24-hour phone number) to inform them of the planned burning.

DOG LICENSES REQUIRED

County Ordinance No. 6-94 – requires that all dogs over five months of age in the town are to be licensed and have a rabies vaccination. A listing of people who have not obtained a dog license for their dog or dogs is sent to the Shawano County District Attorney each year. Fines for violating this ordinance are not less than $25.00 nor more than $100.00 for the first offense and not less than $50.00 nor more than $200.00 for any subsequent offenses. Contact Town Treasurer, Lisa Matuszak (822-4408) N2981 Green Valley Road, Pulaski WI 54162 to obtain a license. Licenses are to be obtained from the Town Treasurer by February 1^st of each year. A $5.00 late fee is charged for all licenses not obtained by April 1st. The owner shall securely attach the tag to a collar. Having the license tag and/or a tag on the dog’s collar giving the name of the dog and its owner helps our town animal control person in returning a lost dog to its owner quickly. Not keeping an animal on its owner’s property and letting the animal roam at large is a violation of this ordinance. Please refer to the insert the Treasurer encloses with this tax statement. Collection dates are on one side of the insert and information on dog licenses is on the reverse side.

911 PROPERTY NUMBERS

If you do not have a 911 number installed in front of your property that can be easily seen by the Rescue Squad or Fire Department, please contact Town Supervisor Cliff Powers at 920-822-5554 to obtain that property number. Not having this number displayed is in violation of Shawano County Ordinance No. 1-95 and more importantly it could delay emergency service to you.

ROAD SIGNS

If you notice a stop sign or other road signs are down, damaged or missing, please contact any of the town officials. Having all signs in place, especially in the case of stop signs, is very important to the safety of people traveling our town roads.

Also, if you notice anyone vandalizing signs or dumping rubbish in town road ditches, would you please report it to any one of the town officials. This not only incurs extra expense for the town but could create a potentially dangerous situation.

WHEN BUILDING IN THE TOWN OF ANGELICA

• Land shall be properly zoned and a soil test should be taken. The majority of land in the town is zoned A-290, Agricultural Residential Zone, except for certain areas adjacent to Krakow, Zachow, Angelica and the Village of Pulaski which is A-G, General Agriculture. The A-290 zoning requires that the creation of new single lot residential development be on two-acre parcels or larger and have 290 feet of frontage on an existing road. The required minimum lot width is 290 feet and residences are required to locate within the first 290 feet of the right-of-way of existing roads. For lots greater than 35 acres, the minimum lot width is 290 feet and there is no maximum set-back from the right-of-way of an existing road. The A-G zoning requires that new single lot residential development be on a one-acre parcel. A certified survey map is to be done in the creation of land parcels of ten acres or less and submitted to the County Planning and Development Department for review and approval.

TILING: If you are aware of any tiling going to and entering into road ditches in front of your property, please notify anyone on the town board about the location of those tiles. The town has run into extra expense because of not being aware of tiling in road ditches when reconstructing roads and cleaning out ditches. Your informing us of the location of these tiles is appreciated.

DITCHING/PLANTING/PLACEMENT OF OBJECTS IN TOWN ROAD RIGHT OF WAY: Do not ditch along town roads without town board approval. Trees or shrubs are not to be planted less than 33 feet from a town road centerline. Also, the only objects that can be placed in town road right of way by residents are mail boxes. Driveway markers/reflectors are to be placed at least 33 feet from the town road centerline. A total width of 66 feet is the standard width needed for town road reconstruction.
