Town Board Minutes

The meeting was called to order at 5:30 p.m.

Present:  Randy Leiker, Andy Peters, Mark Strobel, Mike Woods.  Tom Becher was excused.

Approval of agenda.
Mark Strobel made a motion to approve the agenda.   Andy Peters seconded the motion and it was carried.

Has the agenda been properly posted?  Yes          

Sheriff’s Dept. Liaison officer. 
Captain Jobe stated that deployments of officers are going as planned.  They are on track with the hours in contract. 

A few residents from the Parkview Drive/Hyacinth Lane area were present.  This is the intersection by the Twist and Subway.  Since April 1st there have been 4 accidents at this intersection.  Two of them were drunk drivers.  Cars are going fast down Parkview.  Could a 4-way stop be put there?  Could they get a “children at play” sign?  There is a hearing impaired child on Hyacinth.  There are a lot of kids in the area going for ice cream.  We can increase the patrol there and put the counter out to check speeds and times.  Randy Leiker stated we can look at the feasibility of doing a 4-way stop.  Dean Schiller stated you can only do so much especially with drunk drivers.  The other two accidents it would have helped.  You sometimes find people will increase their speed because they had to stop.    There are a lot of speeders between 9 and 11 at night and also between 3 and 5 in the afternoon. We will look at the options.

Planning Commission recommendations.  All approvals are contingent on staff review comments.
Rezone property on the SW corner of USH 15 and Mayflower Drive from agricultural to commercial and also a Special Use Permit to operate a dog daycare including grooming and boarding on this property – approve with conditions.
Mark Strobel made a motion to approve the rezoning.  It fits with the Land Use Plan.  Andy Peters seconded the motion and it was carried. 

Special Use Permit 
Randy Leiker had a few questions.  Can a roadway be put in?  Yes.  Dave Tebo stated the DOT purchased access down to 37’ from the south property line. The Dot will allow a public roadway in there.  The road will be slightly on the southern edge of the right-of-way so it does not encroach in the State right-of-way.  We can also do an access easement.  Either way, the DOT will allow it.  Mr. Tebo, Dale and Deb met with representatives of Tailwaggers for the Gateway Ordinance.  They know what the ordinance says.  We talked about landscaping issues. 

Dave Schlimm stated that Tailwaggers is power washed every night.  Will all the droppings run off into the navigable stream?   The owner stated there are no droppings.  They are picked up immediately.  They do not want the dogs to step in it.  Someone is with the dogs at all times when they are outside or when they are playing inside.  Mr. Schlimm has a concern about the number of animals that are there overnight such as on a long weekend.  The owner stated they are there with the dogs.  They are not open to the general public but they are there.  They have cameras in the kennel that the owner can access at home at night and she can check on it and does every night a couple of times.  During all three day holidays, they are there.  The dogs need to eat and go outside.   They are not open to the public for daycare but they are there.  The dogs are all indoors overnight.  They are not outside. 

Mark Strobel would prefer to see a site plan and the type of material they are going to build the building out of to be sure it follows our Gateway Ordinance.  Andy stated if it doesn’t follow the Ordinance, then we just don’t approve it.  We need to approve the special use so they can go ahead.  Otherwise, they could do all the work and not get the special use.  Dave Tebo stated by not approving the special use tonight, you are saying they may not approve it.  Can say you will accept this special use but you have to meet all the conditions at site plan?  Andy Peters stated you can put on more restrictions at the site plan because of the special use permit. 

Andy Peters made a motion to approve with conditions.  Randy Leiker seconded the motion.  Mike Woods and Mark Strobel voted nay.  Randy stated this will be on another agenda.

The owner of Tailwaggers stated this plan could cost them $25,000.  It is already August and they would like this open by October.  This is a very high end operation.  This is the franchise headquarters.  They want it to look nice.  Greenville is their first choice but they may be forced to look elsewhere.  Mark Strobel does not like giving conditional approvals.  The owner stated the next stage is site plan approval where it will meet all the ordinances.  Mike Woods stated he could reconsider as long as we have control over it at site plan.  The owner stated she may do a wood fence on the outside and security fence on the inside.  It will cost more, but it will meet the conditions.  If they do not meet conditions, the special use can go away. 

Mike Woods would like to reconsider the motion and make a new motion to give the special use at this time. Andy Peters seconded the motion and it was carried.  Mark Strobel voted nay. 

Initial Resolution for Revenue Bonds to assist the YMCA with respect to financing of the YMCA building project not to exceed $3,500,000  
Dave Tebo stated the federal tax code was created for businesses to borrow money.  The municipality can become the conduit but there is no obligation to the municipality.  Basically, there is no impact to the town.  We have done this before.  Rich Carlson has seen the paperwork.  Quarles and Brady is the bond counsel and we have worked with them before. 

Andy Peters made a motion to approve.  Mike Woods seconded the motion and it was carried.

Resolution Waiving the Public Bidding Requirements of WI Stats Sect 66.1109(11)(b)1 for the YMCA project not to exceed $3,500,000.  
Andy Peters made a motion to approve the resolution.  Mike Woods seconded the motion and it was carried.

Public Participation and/or questions.       
Vicki Prey questioned people who are fostering dogs.  How do we handle this when people already have three dogs that are licensed?  Vicki has had some complaints on the barking of these dogs.  How do the multiple dogs work?  These dogs are rescue dogs and the services these people offer are needed.  The people volunteer to take these animals in.  These animals may be in out over short period of time.  The people do not get paid for it.   We will see if they can be grandfathered in or they will have to cease and desist.  We will try to resolve this in 45 days. 

Mark Strobel made a motion to recess the Town Board meeting.   Mike Woods seconded the motion and it was carried and recessed at 6:30 p.m.
