Due to an oversight last year Jack made the following Plan Commission appointment for April 2008-2011. Chair – Harry Gladwin, Vice Chair – Ann Eckman, and commission member – Hal Schrage. For 2009-2012, Recording Secretary – Caroline Lemke, Commission members – Bill Jelinek, Ben Brown and Robert Eisenman.
Lucille Hodge and Jim Abler were present and asked that no trees be cut when the work is done on Alber Road. Byron Lange said that some ditching will have to be done and culverts put in by the swamp. The board agreed that as it is not a reconstruction the trees would not be cut.
Byron said that the weight limits would probably be going on the third week in March. Alery Road is finished. He also said that we should start looking at a new front-end loader as the one we have is 17 years old, bought used in 2003. The board agreed.
Jelinek said that Roger Turner had talked to him about his property on Wimmer Road. Prior to his buying the property the former owner had given permission for people to cross the property to go fishing and get to their boats moored in front of the house. He is no longer going to allow this. He said that the property adjoining his belongs to the town and is asking that the town not allow people to use it either as Mr. Turner doesn’t want the boats moored in front of his property. As this is WVIC shore land the board isn’t sure what can be done and also has to check whether the property belongs to the town. No action was taken. The board will wait to hear further from Mr. Turner.
The board discussed a letter from Donald Mullen who owns property adjoining Crystal Beach. He noted that they have the following issues with the beach: the structures at the beach no longer improve or increase the value of the property and would like the buildings removed from the property, the beach is a gathering spot for late night parties and other activities during the summer months; possible underage drinking and other illegal activities, and dead and dying trees. He also asked that he be given a key to the gate at the beach to launch his boat, as his lot is too steep to do so.
The clerk will write a letter to Mr. Mullen. The board does not feel that the buildings are in bad condition and should be removed, but will look at them and the trees. The Sheriff’s Department should be called regarding parties and suspected illegal activities. It was also decided that no key would be given out. This was done in the past and caused problems.
M/M Hilgendorf/Koth to approve the mobile home permit for Michael Brighum. Passed 4-0
The clerk reported that Quest Development sent a check for the January payment and the treasurer called the bank and found there were not enough funds to cover the check. It finally went through the following week. The board decided that all payments will have to be with a cashiers check.
An ad will be placed in the paper for summer help for the beaches and parks.
Jelinek will check into the price of a Porta-potty for the cemetery.
The clerk reminded everyone that the Annual Town Meeting and the regular board meeting will be held on April 14th which is a Tuesday.
Per Diem and mileage will be paid for those attending the zoning meeting on Merrill on March 23rd.
The board agreed to the purchase of a cabinet to display historical items.
M/M Hilgendorf/Koth to adjourn. Passed 4-0.
