Ordinance to Ban Fertilizer
Containing Phosphorus in the Town of Greenville
The public hearing was already held on this.
It was tabled to tweak the verbiage in the ordinance.
Randy Leiker stated we received letters from Grand Chute Menasha West
Sewerage Commission in support of this.
Mark Schleiss did a write up in the upcoming Town newsletter about
this and Randy had a letter from the DNR supporting it.
There were minor changes made from the previous ordinance.
Tom Becher stated that Oconomowoc already passed an ordinance and he
feels others will also start. One
major lawn fertilizer company is already eliminating phosphorus.
Andy Peters stated he had heard from some of the public that this will be a
hardship in Greenville because the fertilizer will be hard to get.
Andy stated that many places already sell it.
Dan Garber spoke in favor. It
is the responsible thing to do. Some
effect is better than nothing.
Shall the Town Board approve the
above Phosphorus Ordinance?
Mark Strobel made a motion to approve the ordinance.
Tom Becher seconded the motion and it was carried.
Mike Woods voted nay.
Old Business
Andy Peters questioned if the Board should re-visit the highway 15
speeding/speed limit issue from Lily of the Valley to Julius Drive.
Randy Leiker stated he has received many emails on this.
A resolution should be drawn up to reduce the limit to
45 mph. This should then be
forwarded to the DOT and the political representatives and include the
emails and public comments.
Mark Strobel made a motion to recess the Town Board meeting.
Tom Becher seconded the motion and it was recessed at 5:55 p.m.
The meeting was reconvened at 6:35 p.m.
Planning Commission recommendations
all approvals are contingent on Staff Review and Planning Commission
comments:
a.
Preliminary plat of Moonlight Meadows north of School Road and
south of Spring Road
Dave Tebo stated there were some contingencies with the plat.
Mike Siewert from Martenson & Eisele stated that everything is
fine now. The drain tile
location or approximate location should be shown on the plat with a note
saying that this may not be the exact location.
Tom Becher made a motion to approve the preliminary plat.
Andy Peters seconded the motion and it was carried.
b.
Rezoning of Moonlight Meadows from general ag to single family
approve.
Andy Peters made a motion to approve the rezoning.
Tom Becher seconded the motion and it was carried.
c.
R.R. Donnelley site plan variances for setback and loading dock.
The Planning Commission is recommending approval of these variances.
They are variances to the Business Park Covenants and also need to be
approved by the Town Board. They
are asking for a 37 setback. That
is the typical setback outside the Business Park.
The small loading dock on the side is questionable as to whether it
is even a loading dock. It is
supposed to be used infrequently. It
is a garage door for emptying their compactor and baler.
The north side of the building will fit how they do business better.
Tom Becher does not like the idea of where this is located.
Why do we allow them to use the road when they have a parking lot to
use? The Planning Commission did
approve the variance. Mark
Strobel questioned why not just change the covenants if we keep granting
variances. Andy Peters stated
that not many variances have been granted in the park.
It should be on a case by case basis.
Tom Becher stated that if the setback was not within the 37 foot
setback, he would deny that. They
can jog the building. Dave Tebo
stated the covenants protect us to get a good development.
We do not offer any incentives for a business to come to Greenville.
We do not give breaks. We
do not have a lot of flexibility. This
is a large company adding a substantial addition.
As for the loading dock, Andy Peters stated we could ask that everything
needs to be kept inside. They
cannot leave a truck or trailer outside the door and they cannot block the
roadway with any vehicles. It
was estimated it is about 52 from the door to the road.
If need be, they may have to recess the compactor and bailer inside a
bit so the semi can get in without being in the roadway. Andy
made this his motion. It was
seconded by Mike Woods. Tom
Becher voted nay.
Concept plan for Obermeier property on
Greenwood Road.
The Planning Commission reviewed this and sent it forward to the Town
Board for comments. The property
owned by Mr. Obermeir and also the Immel family is also being taken into
consideration in case that would ever be developed.
If the road going to the west is extended it would be on the current
proposal and it could link to the other road from the Immel/Obermeier
properties. The Board talked
about a public versus a private road. They
could have a circle around the quarry and link to Donna Drive or with a
private road, they could have trouble developing to the west.
They would maybe have to loop and come back around on the western
property. There may not be
enough room on the west property to do that.
It is blocked by the railroad tracks and wetlands.
Dave Tebo stated a PUD can have a public road.
The right-of-way can vary in a PUD.
It could possibly be 34 back of curb to back of curb.
Randy Leiker is not in favor of a private road.
Dean Schiller stated an easement will be needed for utilities by the road.
Dave Tebo questioned if we want an urban section or a rural section.
Randy feels that curb and gutter would work better.
Tom Becher said everyone else is required to put in curb and gutter.
Just a few street lights would be required.
Barry Obermeier stated they want an ultra-private setting.
They want it to be fancy with a lot of nice landscaping.
Randy stated they need to work with Dave and Dean on the road so that
it could be public. Mark
Strobel would like to see a drawing with dimensions shown on it with a 50
right-of-way and also other options. Randy
stated we would work with them on the easements and setbacks.
Tom Becher made a motion to table. Mark
Strobel seconded the motion and it was carried.
Final plat of Crestview
Mike Siewert stated that everything is ok and ready to go.
Andy Peters made a motion to approve the final plat of Crestview.
Tom Becher seconded the motion and it was carried.
Minutes and Vouchers
Tom Becher made a motion to approve the August meeting minutes.
Mark Strobel seconded the motion and it was carried.
Andy Peters made a motion to approve the September vouchers.
Tom Becher seconded the motion and it was carried.
Public Works Supervisor report
accept
Dean Schiller would like to see the speed limit on School Road from
Julius to Greendale posted at 45 mph to keep the town uniform.
Stan Buman was vehemently against this.
Stan wants it to stay at 55 mph.
Andy Peters agrees that it should be kept of 55 mph and look at it
again when the subdivision along School Road develop.
Tamarack Preserve consideration of
motion to have binder coat paved by November 1, 2007.
Dean stated that the homeowners want the subdivision paved.
Dean would send a letter and because of timing, they would be given
until November 1st to pave it.
There was a letter of agreement with the Town by the owners but much
of it related to build out. It
would take nine more homes to get to that and that could take awhile.
Mike Woods made a motion to give Dean approval to work with the developer to
get this paved. Tom Becher
seconded the motion and it was carried.
Discussion on sidewalk maintenance
policy
Randy Leiker wanted to get the Boards feelings on this.
We could call it a trail which would make a three season use and we
could review it in a few years. Andy
Peters did not like calling it a trail.
It could be called a three season sidewalk and review it next year.
Andy Peters made a motion to table this to get Rich Carlsons opinion.
Tom Becher seconded the motion and it was carried.
Resolution to accept .20 miles of
roadway Cleary Court Section 22
Construction on this piece of roadway would be done in conjunction with
the highway 96 reconstruction next year.
Andy Peters made a motion that we should add that we will accept this when
we formally accept the engineering and construction of highway 96.
Mike Woods seconded the motion and it was carried.
