The Commission recommends vacating this plat, this was also recommended by Oconto County. Motion by Don, seconded by Lee to vacate the Korbas Plat, all ayes motion carried. It was also recommended by the Commission to rezone the shaded parcels on the attached map from commercial to R-2 multi-family. Motion by Lee to recommend rezoning the shaded parcels on the map from commercial to R-2, seconded by Don, all ayes, motion carried. Recommendation for the Town to rezone from R-1 to R-2, 019-423 and the balance of parcel #2, the clerk stated that the parcel number did not sound like a complete parcel number. Ted Bartels stated that he had the full parcel number but did not write it down, he would go and get it. Tabled until the correct parcel number is obtained. The Commission recommends a conditional use permit for four 8 unit buildings based on the preliminary plat under current zoning regulations only up to 6 unit buildings are permitted under R2 zoning without the conditional use permit. Motion by Lee to recommend approval of a conditional use permit under R2 zoning for two 8 unit buildings, seconded by Don, all ayes motion carried.
Storm Water Plan: No recommendations from Foyth and VanDyke, table until next month. Rick Roth should also be tabled. Shallow Surveying is here at this time. Paul Shallow brought the final CSM which was approved at the October meeting, as the rezoning has gone through the County now. Lee, stated that the preliminary map was approved by the Plan Commission. Paul stated yes, it needed the rezone to rural residential due to the size of the lots and they have been approved by the County. Lee moves to sign the CSM for Kerscher, seconded by Don, all ayes motion carried. It was left with the Town as Tom needs to sign and is not present. It will be mailed back to him after Tom signs it.
Peter Liptack: Not present.
Extension of Gage St.: Due to a request from Spoerri and Bartels (Lakewood Development Company), due to the time of publishing the special meeting the soonest it could be held is January 25, 2006. Don asked what the purpose of the meeting would be. To purchase the property of the right of way from Lakewood Development for the extension of that road, and to acquire the Flynn Property. Mr. Spoerri stated that there were two items the Town needed to work with them on first was to acquire the Flynn Property, we have that under contract for an exchange of property and moving them, secondly we would like the Town to buy the right of way for the extension of Gage St, once we have a contract from Warren Thomas. A question was asked if we needed to worry about contamination of the soil. No, because it would be sealed with blacktop, it is generally not an issue. No contamination of the ground water was found by the sample wells. Lee is concerned about when the County meets and to have the special meeting before they meet. Don asked what the County has to do. If we can do the recommendations before there meeting they can act on them. But, the recommendations for the rezones and plat will be there before the end of the month, it is just the extension of Gage Street that will be addressed at the Special meeting and the County does not really have anything to do with that. Special meeting will be on Wednesday, January 25th at 7:00 p.m.
Ted is back with the parcel number, 019-42-3208922A. Lee moves that this parcel number be rezoned from R1 to R2, seconded by Don, all ayes motion carried.
Board, Clerk, Treasurer Comments: Virginia asked if the Board wanted a list of personal property taxes not paid from last year, or what do you want to do with them. There has been no response to the letters that I sent to them to PB�s Hideaway, BP Amoco, Laundromat, For-get-me Knots, Irish Maids, Five Star Fireworks, Upper Deck Gallery, and Northern D�Lites. Do we take them to small claims? Lee asked if they paid the year before, Virginia stated she would have to go back and look. Was the letter sent on the Town letterhead, yes. Don suggested that the Town attorney send the letters. Lee would like to know what other prior years personal property taxes were not paid. Nothing has been done concerning the unpaid personal property taxes since Virginia has been treasurer, although it should have been. Find out what was paid and what was not and bring it back to the next meeting.
The clerk stated that she has received calls concerning WPS changing the address on some bills to Four Seasons from Bear Lake Lane, however they should have just been changed for North Bear Lake Lane. Calls to WPS in Green Bay are necessary to change their addresses back to Bear Lake Lane.
Motion to pay vouchers by Lee, seconded by Don, all ayes motion carried.
Peter Liptack arrived: Peter stated he would like to set the BOR date for the last Saturday in June. Tom is not present to see if he could make it. Tentatively set for June 24, 2006. Peter suggests that at the first meeting held within the first 10 days of May that the BOR be adjourned to a specific date. He also asked to be put on the March agenda for a progress report. He will let us know in March if that date still works. Peter will take the computer disk and sales maps with him tonight.
Ted asked for a form for naming the road that will lead to the 8 unit buildings, they would like it named Brookside something? The form was given to him, he will need to get it back to the Town for the Towns signature. It was suggested that he discuss the road name with Rose Hipke before sending it in otherwise you run into problems if the name is already in use.
Motion to adjourn by Lee, seconded by Don, all ayes motion carried. Adjourned at 8:15 p.m.
Respectfully Submitted,
Joanne Roy, Clerk
