Planning Commission Minutes
The meeting was called to order at 5:33 p.m.
Present: Randy Leiker, Jim Ecker,
Mike Woods, Jim Cotter, Greg Kippenhan, Shirley Solem and Ken Zilisch.
Has the agenda been properly posted?
Yes
Approve the March meeting minutes.
Jim Cotter made a motion to approve the March meeting minutes. Greg
Kippenhan seconded the motion and it was carried.
Review possible
requirements for “Big Box” developments.
This is being proactive.
Some municipalities use size as a factor.
The Commission was given a sample ordinance and was asked to get their
comments back to Dave Tebo. Randy
Leiker stated he is not so much concerned about industrial as commercial
developments. As soon as we bring in
this type of development, we will need police, full time fire and all other
kinds of services. If we have this
in place, we can do services when we want to do them.
If we want the development, we can then do it.
Shirley liked the ideas in the example.
Randy stated we do not want to make it so expensive that they cannot
build. Randy does not like the
Waupaca sample. He is not against
the industrial end of it, such as School Specialty.
We would have to define in the ordinance by usage.
We may want to work on the different levels of commercial at this time
also. Mike Woods questioned a hotel.
We would allow that.
Review proposed
stormwater and illicit discharge ordinance.
Dave Tebo stated he talked with Nick from McMahon.
The only different ordinance is this one.
The rest are similar. NEWSC
has developed these ordinances. We
are bound by these. We have to meet
the same standard as the County. The
County may not adopt the NEWSC ordinances. We
may have to pull back on stormwater and erosion control to see what the County
is doing. With the NEWSC Ordinance,
the whole Fox Cities will try to go with that.
If we go different or the County goes different, we will be different
than everyone else. Jim Cotter
questioned if wouldn’t it be easier to go with everyone else and let the
County adapt. With the NEWSC
ordinance there is also a manual. Then
we stay uniform. The County should
know soon. We have to be at least as
strong as the county.
Randy stated that maybe should require that a grate be put over culverts that
are a certain size for safety reasons. Randy
saw some children playing near a culvert and was concerned about it.
Review Construction
Site Erosion Control Ordinance.
We need something on silt fence removal.
We need a clearer checklist. It should be added as a checklist
item.
Jim Ecker questioned a wind ordinance.
Randy Leiker stated all we can do on a local ordinance is the
setbacks.
We may have to look at the outdoor wood burning ordinance again.
Some of these are throwing off a lot of smoke and one is enclosed inside
a silo.
Adjourn Planning Commission meeting.
Jim Cotter made a motion to adjourn the Planning Commission meeting.
Jim Ecker seconded the motion and it was carried and adjourned at 6:23
p.m.
Deborah Wagner,
Town Clerk
