Plan
Commission Chair Diana Smith informed the Board that even though it is
recommended that the Board hold public hearings for all Plan Map changes it is
not a requirement. She noted that if a Plan Map request reflects a mapping error
or omission the request could be processed without a hearing. The request could
still be processed through a public Plan Commission meeting, but without the
requirement of a public hearing. This would save time and the need to call extra
meetings.
A
letter will be written to Scott Galetka thanking him for the work that he has
done on the maps for the Plan Commission.
Supervisor
Jelinek reported that the it looks as if the buffer area may have been cut on
the Henrichs property. He said that the Board had approved the site plan and it
may have been ignored. He would like to see a screening fence put up, if this is
the case. He would like to make that recommendation to Lincoln County Zoning.
There is to be a meeting between Mr. Henrichs and Dan Miller from P&Z.
Following discussion it was decided that the Board would wait until they get a
report from Dan concerning the upcoming meeting.
Byron
Lange reported that the culvert has been put in on Pfeifer Road, prep work is
starting on the Crass Road hill and that the crusher should be brought in next
week. An agreement form has been drawn up to be signed by the town and Francis
LaFond to put stumps and debris on his property during the work on Crass Road.
The town crew and Lincoln County Highway Dept will do grubbing.
The
utility companies are not finished on Tannery yet. The gravel for Tannery will
be crushed next week.

has moved and lowered the stop sign. They will be checking the area. It was
noted that there has only been one accident at that intersection in three years.

no longer does speed zone checks due to cutback and retirements in the
department. Byron and Bob Eisenman will draw up a list of the roads that may
need speed reduction for the Board.
