Old business
a.
Obermeier property
Kelly Claflin spoke.
Kelly stated they laid out an option that will work with a 50
right-of-way. From the
railroad, the right-of-way is 30 to the edge of the road and 25 from
the buildings. This is a PUD and they would like a smaller paved area.
It will be more private than a regular development.
Our Town specs allow for a smaller road.
With a smaller road, there may not be room for parking in the road.
Dean Schiller stated with a 29 back of curb to back of curb and a
1 parking lane you could probably still have two way parking.
The homeowners association is going to have to enforce it.
Kelly stated the driveways are 20 wide and side loaded so that
will allow for additional parking in the driveway.
Tom Becher feels it needs to be a public road.
Tom Said the Fire Chief should decide.
Dean would like to take a closer look at it if it is 28 wide.
Dean and Dave can work it out. Kelly
stated they do not want 33 but can live with 28.
They can also live with no parking on the roads.
Snow plowing should not be a problem.
Lots 1 -12 would have access to the lake by way of the common area.
They will need DNR and Country approval for the lake. Mark Strobel
stated they need to see if the lake is navigable for the 75 setback.
It was suggested this be approved contingent on the width of the pavement
approval from Dean Schiller and Dave Julius.
The Board was happy with 28 face to face of driving surface.
Mike Woods made a motion to approve 24 of blacktop 29 back to back
= 24 + 2+2 plus 6 plus 6 and approval from Dean and Dave.
Tom Becher seconded the motion and it was carried.
Recycling
Agreement extension Outagamie County Phil Stecker, Solid Waste
Director.
Phil stated the County needs to do RFPs for
future collection and a 10 year extension.
The County is the Responsible Unit right now.
The County has already been into this for 15 years.
They are now in the 1st 5 year extension.
The amount of money paid in behalf of Greenville is $600,000 with Greenville
paying $30,000 in tipping fees. The
County does public education, reporting, Clean sweep programs, free tire
collection weeks, electronics recycling and pharmaceuticals take back
programs.
The County would like to do a 10-year extension to
plan for long term strategies.
Dave Tebo stated that we would like an out clause put in the contract
in case there are problems. Mike
Woods made a motion to table and get clarification from Rich Carlson on
this. Tom Becher seconded the
motion and it was carried.
Mark Strobel made a motion to recess the Town Board meeting.
Tom Becher seconded the motion and it was carried and recessed at
