Citizen Concerns and Comments
Ed Gruhl requests Town Board
Recommendation for a Special Use Permit to build a residence in F1. Mr. Gruhl explained that he wants to
build a home. His land is on the
end of Church Corner Road and that his land is on the town boundary line. Motion to approve Permit request for Mr.
Gruhl was made by Bob Mick, second by Bob Bodin. Motion carried.
Peacy Road - Randy Lund from Lund
Engineering, did a site evaluation at the request of Dan Small, property owner
along Peacy Road. Each Board member
did receive a copy of the evaluation.
Mr. Lund stated that when he first looked at the road, the best thing for
the town was to cut the trees. He
stated that he looked at the area in general and obliviously the trees are
shading the road, snowplowing is an issue; there is no room to put the snow and
not a lot of room for drainage. Mr.
Lund gave the board his comments on ditch work. He stated that ditching along just Mr.
Small's property, it might not solve the whole problem. There are restrictions in the area and
from Mr. Small's property going toward Komborski Road and past it, there is
another culvert on Peacy that has end sections but the ditch is really
narrow. Minor excavation would turn
the water more quickly and help that ditch line drain. Also, to look at ditching on the north
side, a ditch on that side would improve drainage. He stated that the trees are dying due
to drowning and damage from snow removal and that some have been cut for the
power line. He stated that a big
issue is snow piles and no melting because of lack of sunlight and if the trees
are not cut, the issue will never be solved. Discussion was held. Mr. Lund stated that Mr. Small
understands that if the trees must go, he would like to know that it is done
right and problems would be solved.
Chairman stated that no ditch work could be done until the board hears
from the DNR. Supervisor Bodin
stated that safety is a big issue and the road needs to be maintained so
emergency vehicles can get through at all times.
Supervisor Mick stated that
Ed Wroblewski has requested work be done on Peacy Road, that there have been
times he has not been able to get to his property. Chairman stated that the trees are
scheduled to be cut on Monday, September 20, 2004.
Roth Edwards asked the board to
do the things Mr. Lund stated before they cut the trees.
He stated that cross culverts to
the north side for drainage would be a better thing. Board stated that there is no ditch on
the north side, and it doesn't address the snow issue.
Paul
Johnson gave the board a hydrology report for the area. After reading it, Supervisor Mick stated
that it is complicated but does it not say that we have to take the trees down
because there is not room for a ditch?
Mr. Johnson's answer was, "when you look at the way the soils are, when
they are saturate rated, you will get a lot of run off and a one to two foot
ditch is needed and in order to do that you need to include the bottom flat part
of the ditch and the side slopes."
Mr. Johnson stated that with any properly made ditch the trees must be
removed. He stated that there are
time that water has backed up at Felty's culvert because of improper drainage to
let the water flow and the water comes up over the road. The board thanked Mr. Johnson for his
work on the report. The board
decided to proceed with work as planned on Peacy
Road.
