4. CSM Plat, Conditional Use Permits, Rezones and Other Proposals:
Paul Shallow from Shallow Surveying appeared on behalf of Barbara Brock-Arndt to clarify the frontage on the setback for the Redinger Lane lot preliminary CSM. Paul Shallow changed the thirty (30) foot set back line to reflect one hundred (100) feet of frontage. Also, the southerly three (3) acres of Lot Two (2) are zoned forestry and need to be rezoned to R-1. It was discussed by the commission and agreed that the town will need to recommend this zoning change prior to having the CSM brought to the commission for approval. A motion was made by Gigi Bartels to recommend to the Town Board a rezone of the southerly three (3) acres of Lot Two (2) of the preliminary CSM on Redinger Lane from Forestry to R-1. This is noted on the preliminary CSM as 233.36 feet by 560.50 feet with a Tax Parcel No. of 019-423215243A. Motion was seconded by Ted Schuurmans. Motion was passed. Paul Shallow will bring the CSM back to the committee after the rezoning has been approved by the County.

Lee Spletter presented a draft of the Driveway Ordinance for the Town of Lakewood. Discussion was held concerning issues as to having existing driveways grand-fathered, how to address forest service properties and existing driveways, effective starting date of a driveway ordinance, who at the town board level should inspect and approve the driveways being installed, culvert installations and any attempts at upgrades.

6. All Old Business Authorized by Law.
a. Stormwater Problem � St. Mary�s Road/County F
Ted Schuurmans reported due to a communication misunderstanding the 5:00 p.m. January 8, 2007, special meeting with Pat Scanlan, Tom Gryboski and Mike Tebo had not been accomplished. A draft letter has been given to Greg Weyers for invitation for another special meeting with the above individuals in February. A motion was made by Greg Weyers and seconded by Marlene Sauriol to notice a 5:00 p.m. special meeting on February 12, 2007, at the Lakewood Town Hall to address the stormwater problems. Motion was passed.
7. All Other Business.
Ted Schuurmans noted that Oconto County Cluster meetings are held regularly and that the Plan Commission members should be in attendance at these meetings.
Marlene Sauriol reported that the Oconto County Planning & Zoning Commission at their December, 2006, meeting had recommended to the County Board to take all reference to �campgrounds� and �temporary camping� out of Forestry. No mention was made as to how they will handle the existing campgrounds that are now in forestry zoning. They would then be considered �non-conforming.� Any action as to moving these campgrounds automatically into Park and Recreation zoning without any economic burden on the campgrounds will have to be reviewed by the corporate counsel and discussed at the County Board meeting on January 18, 2007.
There was no other business.
A motion was made by Gigi Bartels and seconded by Scott Van Lanen to adjourn the meeting at 7:08 p.m. Motion was passed.
Respectfully submitted,
Marlene Sauriol
