MINUTES OF THE COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLANNING COMMITTEE

OF MAY 10, 2006

Comprehensive Planning Committee present: Leslie Hall, Dave Pease, Donna Porter, Duke Marten, and Ron Pearson.

Citizen Advisory Members Present: Carol LeBreck, Gene Ratzel, Earl Gregoire, and Jay Strucel

Also present: Patrick Beilfuss-Cedar Corporation, and Mitch McGee.

Dave Pease called the meeting to order at 6:30PM. Changes in the Minutes of April 26^th meeting are:

Change public information meeting to Open House. They then send it to the Board to recommend adoption of the Plan. Motion (Hall/Marten) to approve the minutes with the above changes. Motion carried.

Pat passed out a timeline and proposed Open House. The proposed Open House will be July 15, 2006 at the Town Hall. A Public Hearing will be possibly in August or September in conjunction with the Eau Claire Lakes Property Owner’s Association Annual Meeting. The Public Hearing will focus mostly on the future. After the Plan is adopted the work goes to the Plan Commission.

Lake Management is a separate plan. Environmental Department is working on this along with the Property Owner’s Association. Carol LeBreck believes this should be a strong consideration before the Plan is approved. The Lake Management Plan has to be done by December, 2006. We don’t know if the Town needs to approve this plan. The purpose of the Lake Management Plan has recommendations as to zoning issues – is a big part of the Grant we received. Can we approve the Land Use Plan without the Lake Management Plan? We don’t believe we should without having all the data. The DNR needs to approve the watershed survey for the plan before it is sent out to people who own property within the watershed. Recommendations in this plan would include all lakes.
