Public
hearing – Proposed Alcohol Beverage Ordinance.
The
hearing was called to order at 5:45 p.m.
Rich
Carlson drafted an ordinance. Most
is a takeoff directly from the State Statutes for aspects of liquor
licenses. Most significant in
the ordinance is the sanction system known as a point system.
This is an objective review of problem licensees.
A licensee would know under what circumstances a license could be
revoked. The points apply across
board to every license holder. It
is not as onerous as the City of Appleton meaning two strikes and you are
out. In this Ordinance, a
suspension will run from 10 days to 2 weeks.
It basically gives you three strikes before any punitive action is
taken. The Town has to have a
hearing before any license can be suspended.
Appleton has more resources to enforce than we have.
There are minor regulations on beer gardens which regulate outside
consumption. They must be issued
a citation and a conviction before the license would be suspended.
Tom Becher made a motion to close the public hearing.
Mark Strobel seconded the motion and it was carried and closed at
6:05 p.m.
Shall the Town Board approve the
proposed Alcohol Beverage Ordinance?
Mark
Strobel made a motion to approve with the following changes.
In section 4, Sanction 4 is in there twice.
This Ordinance should also exclude golf courses for outside serving.
Tom Becher seconded the motion and it was carried.
Approve renewal alcohol licenses as per list.
Mark
Strobel made a motion to approve the list with the Greenville Station
license contingent on a sale closing on July 1st.
Money and the application were received from both parties.
Whoever is the owner of the bar on July 1st will hold the
license. Andy Peters seconded
the motion and it was carried.

summer picnic licenses.
Mark Strobel approved the list of
licenses. Mike Woods seconded
the motion and it was carried.

Planning Commission recommendations. All
approvals are contingent on staff review comments.
None
Public Participation and/or questions.
A
resident on Churchill Ct. received a letter in April about having their
wells tested. His well has
tested positive four times for bacteria.
Is there a problem in that area since the sewer went in?
About four wells have bacteria. Could
it be a problem with the sewer going in and all the blasting that was done?
Randy Leiker stated the aquifer they get their water from serves a
lot of people within a large radius. They
are all getting the same water. Don
Schinke stated that this past winter and spring was a lot wetter than in
previous years. There was more
run off and there is more chance of runoff especially with shallow wells.
His well is 128 feet down. This
gentleman stated he was not warned about the blasting going on.
Don will check with the engineers to see who was notified about the
blasting. Don will forward
the report to the Town Board.
Another resident stated an area walking path was installed in 2006.
The path was extended into a DNR area.
He understands that some of the area needs to be removed.
Why are we investing our resources into a path that needs to be
removed? Dave Tebo stated the Town
owns about 7 acres. We
initially required the developer to put a path in.
The developer paid for that. Someone
had been observing path and questioned the wetlands.
The DNR made the Town remove some path in the wetland area.
Mr. Tebo stated we are not planning to invest anything more in this
area at this point.
Hours at yard waste site
– Randy Leiker stated he is getting a number of phone calls and emails on
the hours. Dean Schiller
stated he has had positive feedback. Tom
Becher stated that Sunday afternoon is out.
Mike Woods stated that we cannot accommodate any more than what we
are. Andy Peters suggested we
track the complaints. Randy
Immel stated it could be open 24 hours a day and you will still get
complaints.
