MONTHLY MEETING

Giese, Clerk Patti Supple, Treasurer Jody Roffers, Attorney John St.
Peter and various Town residents. Confirmation was made of open
meeting notice. Minutes from the previous meeting were approved as
presented.
The status report from Kaempfer & Associates was reviewed. Attorney
St. Peter noted that the Town owes the Village of North Fond du Lac
$206,806.88. There are three options for payment: pay in full now,
pay in full in 6 months-interest free, or pay a portion now and the
remainder in 6 months with no interest. After discussion, motion was
made and seconded to pay ½ now and the remainder in 6 months.
Motion carried.
Joel Streblow is still refusing to sign the agreement for easement due
to wording in the road access portion of the agreement. After
discussion, it was decided to table action for legal wording from
Attorney St. Peter and a firm signed commitment from Mr. Streblow
prior to the December meeting.
Daniel Argall from Diamond Auto Salvage presented paperwork on his
request to increase the storage on property adjacent to his salvage
yard. He submitted a request to the FAA to allow a 25’ height limit
on the property. The response was the FAA had no problem with the
request. Sam Tobias from FDL County stated that the Airport Committee
will be meeting on December 1, 2011 to review the request as well as
the FAA paperwork. Mr. Argall stated that the racking system’s
maximum height is 23’, but felt the 25’ request met any contingencies.
He noted that racking was needed since the majority of the property
would be needed for drainage leaving a small area for storage. He
noted that as much vegetation as possible would also be left to
provide additional screening. The fence would be 8’ tall. The racks
would be placed on the southern most portion of the property. The
Board was concerned over the aesthetic appeal of stacked cars and the
County Airport restrictions. After discussion, it was determined the
matter would be tabled until the County Airport rules on the height
restrictions. This matter will be an agenda item on the December
meeting.
Sam Tobias and John Wehner, Airport manager presented a request to
vacate portions of Rogersville Road and Forest Avenue Road that breech
the Airport property. This matter is to facilitate potential future
expansion of the Airport. After discussion, it was determined the
Town would agree to vacate the property contingent on the County
providing written approval to reopen Rogersville Road if the Airport
closes or if another option allows for the reopening. The agreement
will be drafted for review.
Ed Bowen presented the plans for expansion of Westwind Villas, LLC on
the corner of Rolling Meadows Drive and Highway 23. Per the Planning
Committee recommendations, motion was made and seconded to approve the
expansion contingent on a Development Agreement with exhibits being
provided. The CSM was also approved for the property. Motion
carried.

of fees paid, motion was made and seconded to approve the scrolling
