5. Rezone, Conditional Use & CSM/Plat Proposals:
a. Mike Paul/Lovey Barber, Pine Haven RV Park, rezone. A rezone to Parks and Recreation would not be required as the RV Park are allowed with a C.U.P. in Forestry zoned property and a letter from Pat Virtues (Oconto County) was presented by Mike Paul. Ted Schuurmans has talked with Pat and there needs to be a better definition of what �temporary camping� is and the difference of the letters from the County. There were questions regarding; perminat sites, year round camping, C.U.P. stays with the property if the park is sold to another party and better definitions of term used in the County�s letter. There was much discussion and many questions asked from the members in attendance regarding the building of this RV Park and reason of why it should not be constructed.
A motion by Ted Schuurmans and second by Scott VanLaanen that we recommend to the Town Board that the rezone from Forestry to Parks and Recreation be denied and motion was carried.
Ted Schuurmans moved that we deny the C.U.P. in Forestry due to the state statues define temporary dwelling, as a dwelling occupied no more than 4 continuous months in a 12-month period. Discussion on this, it was felt that we could not vote on this, as it is not clear what the true definition of temporary camping is as to the RV Park. The motion died due to a second to the motion and better definitions. The C.U.P. was tabled until next month.
There was many questions and input from all public members in attendance.
