    a.Suggest projects for 2003: boat launches, compost site (general commentary), and re-enforce access for Fire Department and Rescue vehicles.
  5. Planning and Zoning
    a.Conditional use permit for parcel H LG 3100009 for Robert and Catherine Grenning, W7165 Territorial Road. Plan and zone commission tabled this request at their meeting due to needing more information. Motion made to table this issue (Lohrmann/Callaway).
  6. Final approval of CSM for Richard Lombard W5499 Tamarack Road. Met with the Buildings and Roads committee and extended private drive to make driveways shorter and expanded cull de sac by 25 feet. Although this doesn’t meet the criteria of the Town’s current ordinance, several of these types of CSMs have been getting approved by the Town. The Town needs to change its ordinance. Based on this information, a motion was made to approve the CSM of 4 lots subject to the formation of association responsible for ownership and maintenance of out lot 1 and its extension (Callaway/Sukala).
  7. Vacation of undeveloped road which lies directly south of Lot 6 Block 1 of Cool Hill Park Subdivision. Gabrielle Boehm here for current owners. Current owner’s position is the road has never been developed and they are maintaining the road. Very steep road, so not feasible for lake access. Concerns from town’s people: If going to give up ownership of this road why not sell it instead? Suggestion to communicate with the DNR and get approval from them then come back to the Town. Motion made to table this issue until parties get opinion from the DNR (Taylor/Callaway).
  8. Lauderdale Lakes Marina request for a Class B liquor license. Mark Neuman, owner of the Marina present for discussion. Mr. Neuman is currently in the process of making the basement of the marina into a convenience store for boat traffic. Would like to also include the sale of BEER only. This would be a Class “A” license, not a Class B. The property is zoned B-3. Concerns are: little parking and creating additional traffic, the approach from the Lake is congested now, and don’t want to encourage drinking on the Lake. Requested the Marina to fill out the application for the Class “A” BEER ONLY license and come back to Town for approval.
  9. Discussion of who should be the designated person for the DNR Recycle Grant application. A motion was made to have the clerk/treasurer be the designated person. (Taylor/Callaway).
  10. Bills were approved for payment as presented. (Sukala/Taylor)

The meeting moved into closed session at 8:55 PM per roll call: Taylor-aye, Lohrmann-aye, Sukala-aye, Callaway-aye, and Heilmeier-aye.
Motion made to move back into open session at 9:11 PM (Callaway/Sukala).
