OLD & NEW BUSINESS:
A. Variance Request � Scott Parr, 18824 Twin Bay Ln � To replace patio and retaining wall, and repair steps, within 75� of Cedar Lake. The Plan Commission recommended approval of the request, contingent on removal of all newly placed pavers, to be replace with green space, and removal of decorative pillar. Motion Meyer/Glomski to concur with the Plan Commission�s recommendation and conditions; motion carried.
B. Variance Request � Manitowoc County � To replace bathroom with handicap accessible bathroom at same location at Cedar Lake boat landing, within 3� of property line. Plan Commission approved the request. Motion Salzman/Meyer to concur with Plan Commission; motion carried.
C. Variance request � Ed & Joanne Meyer, 19904 Vogel Ln � To construct 4� x 8� enclosure between home and garage at 8� from lot line. Plan Commission approved the request. Motion Glomski/Meyer to concur with Plan Commission; motion carried.
D. Town zoning discussion � Not much additional information has been gain at this point. Chairman Salzman will try to find out how Sheboygan County works with towns on control of shoreland. Need to find out how Manitowoc County would treat control of shore land under town zoning. The other major question seems to be what costs would be involved, both setup costs such as actual preparation of a zoning ordinance as well as ongoing costs such as clerical support. Manitowoc County�s reworking of their zoning will probably be complete by Dec., 2011; after that the opportunity to convert to town zoning may be lost.
E. Referendum discussion for appointing clerk and treasurer � Consensus seems to be that since there�s little or no dissatisfaction with the current situation, no change is needed.
F. Ambulance service discussion � The town is ready to sign the agreement with the ambulance service when one is brought forth. The City of Kiel is hoping to lock in a payment rate for 5 years. Those entities contributing to the costs need to have some control.
G. Road work update and forward schedule � Still to be done is shouldering on Meggers Rd. Discussion of whether to and how to shoulder all of Glen Flora right now. Need to schedule miscellaneous repairs.
INFORMATION ITEMS/MISCELLANEOUS REPORTS:
A. A $100,000 federal grant has been approved for straightening the curve on S. Cedar Lake Rd. by the boat landing. The project is planned for next year. The road is considered a �collector highway� by the state, which is why the grant was approved.
