JOINT WORKSHOP MEETING
TOWN OF FOND DU LAC AND TOWN OF LAMARTINE


The Meeting was called to order by Town of Fond du Lac Chairman Harold
Manske.  Present were Town of Fond du Lac Board members; Chairman
Manske, Supervisors Phyllis Giese and LeRoy Schmitz, Clerk Patti
Supple and Treasurer Mel Buechel,  Town of Lamartine Board members;
Chairman Ed Montsma and Supervisors Frank Bartzen and Mike Suprenand,
and various residents of the Town of Fond du Lac, and the Town of
Lamartine.  Confirmation was made of open meeting notice.

Chairman Montsma reported that the water issue in the ditches along
Townline Road has been an ongoing problem.  He reported that he met
with the DNR two weeks ago and walked the roadway and reviewed the
water problem in the ditches.  He noted that the grade falls about 6
inches to the west and that while the ditch is overhung with brush,
the ditch itself is clean.  He also noted that at times, the water
from the river rises into the ditch and marshy area.  

Some recommendations discussed were the cleaning out of the culvert on
the Fond du Lac side and lower it about 1 foot, on the Lamartine side
moving a culvert closer to the road and installing a bigger culvert,
having the Lamartine residents lower their culverts and install larger
culverts, or having  the ditch flow changed to flow to the river.  

The main concern of all the residents was the Stillwater Estates
subdivision and the potential increase in water flow.  The FDL Town
Board assured the residents that two engineering firms had reviewed
the plans for the retention ponds and water calculations and had
determined that the subdivision would handle the water on site.  The
Town ordinance states that any new subdivision could not cause any
more water flow onto adjoining properties.

After discussion, it was determined that until the subdivision ponds
and drainage is finished, and the exact water flow is known, no plans
can be made in the ditching along Townline Road.  It was recommended
that a joint meeting be held this fall to assess the situation.  

It was requested that the Lamartine Clerk be notified when the final
signed plans for Stillwater Estates are available for inspection.

Motion was made and seconded to adjourn.  Motion carried.
