4. Rezone/CSM/Plat Proposals:
a. Rezone/CSM/Plats: Schuurmans made a report pertaining to development on small lakes/potholes within the Town of Lakewood. Discussions were held with WDNR and County Zoning. WDNR indicated that they have no jurisdiction on zoning or land development as affects development and suggested that County zoning enforces those issues. In an effort to speed review and approvals for lakes submitted to the Committee, Schuurmans made a motion to establish a Task Force to study this issue and make recommendations to the Committee, seconded by Greg Weyers. Bartels appointed Weyers and Schuurmans to make up this Task Force.
b. CSM: Aaron & Associates submitted a CSM for the Zimmerman, et al, property on Lake John Road. This is a CSM that had been previously approved by the Committee on August 9, 2004, and resubmitted due to minor corrections. No action necessary.
c. Plat: Don Erickson for Bullfrog Lake. This matter was part of the report by Schuurmans in Item 4.a above. Comments were made for possibly a PUD (Planned Unit Development) District for this type of development. The County is in the process of creating an ordinance that would allow for this type of development, however the issue in the Bullfrog Lake and other small lakes in the Town is not this issue but the effect that development will have on the quality of the waters within the Town.

e. CSM: Steve Corrigan appeared on behalf of C.W. Crivitz, L.L.C. for approval of a CSM on Flynn Lane. Discussions were held concerning necessary storm drainage through this parcel. It was suggested that the owner provide the Town with a utility easement across its property along with a utility easement along the north edge of the property to allow for storm drainage. Motion by Schuurmans, seconded by Weyers, to accept the CSM providing that the owners convey to the Town a utility easement as discussed. Motion carried.
