Roll call to establish quorum.

Motion (Pease/ Webb) to dispense with the reading of the minutes from the last meeting and to approve the minutes. Motion carried.

 

Public Comments: Carol Kulpa spoke regarding the Swan request to build a walking bridge across the bay on Middle Eau Claire Lake. Asked why we always accept Bayfield Co zoning decisions when it is possible to do these ordinances on our own. Couldn’t we have our own agent or zoning officer? Gene said this has been brought up before at other board meetings. It could be very costly and DNR has some control over these issues. Carol stated maybe we could do something different and not just stay with the way it has always been done in the past.

 

Zoning, Land Use Applications:  

1- Mike Kubult: Operate a home based business and converting a room to an office. Motion (Porter/ Pease)to accept.  Discussion followed. Motion amended (Porter/ Pease) to include stipulation of no outside storage of materials or equipment on site.  Motion carried.

2- William Wolf: RV extension on lot for 3 years. Plans to then build. Has a well and septic installed. Motion (Webb/ Pease) to approve. Motion Carried. 

 

Gene discussed that we should consider and work on a no wake ordinance and education on small lakes or waterways as in our Land Use Plan.

 

Motion (Webb/ Porter) to adjourn. Motion carried.  Meeting adjourned at 4:30pm.

 

Respectfully submitted,

 

 Donna S. Porter

On behalf of Diane Rupnow
