d. Weyers presented concerns about the Town of Lakewood not participating in the Nine Towns Committee's efforts to declare a moratorium on the construction of billboards in the northern townships. It might be expected that builders of billboard signs might concentrate their efforts in the Town of Lakewood because the Town has no moratorium. No action needed.
e. The Town of Lakewood received a response from the Town of Mountain that they did not feel it necessary to create an ordinance on development of small lakes at this time. Response placed on file.
f. Status of rezone on the Illing property on West Wheeler Lake Lane. Previously recommended to the Town Board to reconcile this matter.
