SPECIAL CHARGE ON TAX
STATEMENT FOR NEW FLAG-STYLE 911 PHYSICAL ADDRESS NUMBERS:
All
property owners who had the new flag-style 911 numbers installed during 2008
will notice a $30.00 special charge on their 2008 tax statements. The installation of the new style numbers was
mandated by a Shawano County Ordinance.
This charge will help defray the total cost of installing these
numbers. Any numbers that will be
installed in 2009 will be billed at the rate of $45.00 per number installed.
PLOWING/TILLING/HARVESTING
IN ROAD DITCHES: The town has had several
instances where property owners have been plowing in the town road right of way
and in one instance it could have caused a fatal accident because of ripping up
an underground electrical cable. No plowing, tilling or harvesting shall
be done in the town road right of way.
If there are no utility poles in front of your property, you can figure
the right of way extends 33 feet from the center line of the road. Utility poles are installed in the town road
right of way and in cases where you have utility poles in front of your property, you must stay on your side of the utility
poles. In cases where property owners plow, till or harvest in the town road
right of way, the crop shall be removed or the right of way repaired to its
original condition AT THE PROPERTY OWNERS’ EXPENSE.
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.
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.
GARBAGE
& RECYCLING PICKUP: Please
see the 2009 Garbage & Recycling Pickup Schedule that can be found on Page
6 of this newsletter for information in regard to the pickup schedule and
garbage and recycling requirements in the town.
BURNING OF BUILDINGS: There
have been several instances in the past year where property owners in the town
have burned buildings that were no longer wanted and the DNR became involved in
enforcing State regulations on burning. Burning
of all structures is strictly banned with the only exception being a Fire
Department when performing legitimate fire fighter training. If you have any questions regarding this you
can contact the DNR Air Management at 920-662-5181 or DNR Waste & Materials
Management at 920-662-5171.
BURNING
POLICY IN THE Town of Angelica: Individuals/private citizens
may burn lawn and garden debris and small quantities of clean-untreated
wood. Clean paper waste that is not
recyclable may also be burned. 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 at 920-822-5392 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. Businesses may not
open burn without a wood burning facility license that can be obtained from the
DNR.
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 1st of each year. A $5.00 late fee is charged for all licenses
not obtained by April 1st. 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.
IMPORTANCE OF
DOGS HAVING THEIR DOG TAGS ON THEIR COLLARS:
In
the past year our Animal Control person has had requests in numerous instances
where a stray dog is found or a dog is lost.
Most of these dogs did not have a dog tag on their collars. If the owner would have placed the dog tag on
the lost dog’s collar, it could have been easily traced to its owner. Please
put the dog tag you must obtain each year on your dog’s collar.
POND
CONSTRUCTION: A town conditional-use permit
and either a Shawano County land-use permit or
conditional use permit are required for construction of ponds in the Town of
Angelica. Contact Planning Committee
Secretary, Connie Nischke, for a copy of the Development Standards/Requirements
for ponds. Also, if the pond will be constructed
in wetlands or within 500 feet of a navigable stream, a County Shoreland permit and/or additional permits from the DNR and
the Army Corps of Engineers could be required.
For information contact the Shawano Planning, Development & Zoning
Department at 715-526-6766.
BEFORE STARTING ANY PROJECTS
(BUILDING, DIGGING, REMOVAL OF SOIL, ETC.) Be sure to check with the Shawano County
Planning & Zoning Department as to what permits might be required. If you are near a navigable waterway, Shawano
County, DNR and Army Corps permits also could be required.

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.
CUTTING
GRASS AT THE TOWN HALL
If
you are interested in cutting the grass at the Town Hall or the town park
located in Krakow, please submit a proposal for cost-per-cutting and trimming
to the Town Board by Monday, March 9, 2009.
If interested in cutting for both areas, please submit a separate
proposal for each place.
REQUESTS
FOR ZONE CHANGES, CONDITIONAL USE PERMITS OR VARIANCES
In
all cases, contact the Shawano County Planning, Development and Zoning
Department at 715-526-6766 as a Preliminary
Consultation form has to be
filled out before proceeding with any of these requests.
