SNOWPLOWING OF
DRIVEWAYS: Do not plow or shovel snow

Wis. Statute 346.94 (5). This can cause
an accident for which you could be liable.

RIGHT OF WAY: 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. 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 2010 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
POLICY in the Town of Angelica: 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.
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
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:
The
town’s Animal Control person has had numerous instances where a stray dog is
found or a dog is lost and 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 Commission 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.
