Call to order by: Chairman, Arnie Kaminski
 
Committee Members Present:  Arnie Kaminski, Rick Osowski, Cindy Gemza, Ron Pliska, Bruce Balkam, Debbie Peplinski, Toni Gryniewski
 
The Zoning Plan Commission met on February 9, 2006 at 7pm to discuss Parcel# 176-25-1021-03.05 owed by Lorraine Dobbe. Arnie Kaminski discussed this property changed it’s zoning in 2003 from R-2 or residential to M-1 manufacturing.
 
Lorraine would like to divide her lot into two parcels. She would like Lot Two A to be rezoned from General business (B1) to residential (R-2). Lorraine would like to build storage units on Lot Two B. The existing driveway is directly in the middle of both lots.  The Zoning Plan Commission feels this may be a future problem. A concern for safety was also expressed. If a family with children rent the house on Lot Two A, traffic form Lot Two B could pose a safety issue. If Lorraine was to sell one or both lots, how will the separated lots share a driveway? The Zoning Plan Commission suggests a new driveway be added to Lot Two A.  The Commission also recommends a consistent 80ft lot width to run the entire length of the lot.  If the 80ft width is not chosen, Lorraine must go to the board of appeals.

Motion to adjourn: Tony/Rick, All in favor. Carried.
 
Adjourned 6:20pm

Zoning Petitions
Minutes from the Plan Zone Commission meeting on February 9, 2006 were read aloud.
Petition for 622 Grand Avenue (parcel # 176-25-1021-03.05) received from Lorraine Dobbe:
A certified survey map was presented indicating a recent lot split approved by the Zoning Administrator. One lot has the required 80 ft. at the onset and then narrows down to 70 feet for the remaining length. .The Zoning Plan Commission has a question about the 80 ft. lot width requirement in the Zoning Ordinance and has concerns about the Zoning Administrator’s interpretation.
There are also concerns about a shared driveway.
~The Zoning Plan Commissions’ recommendation to the Village Board is to table the zoning change to confer with the Zoning Administrator about his interpretation of the 80 Ft. lot width requirement. Also to advise the property owner that she needs D.O.T. approval for two driveways.
**It was suggested that the Board consider amending the Zoning Ordinance to automatically require separate driveway permits any time a lot is split.

Research on this Parcel indicated that the requested Zoning change was already possessed in 1997.

Life & Disability Insurance:

In order for Bob to purchase this Life & disability Insurance, The Village must apply to be a participating unit and must pay a portion of the premium on behalf on the employee. Approval of the Resolution to participate in the program is tabled. The Board would like more information regarding the application and cancellation policy.


Photo Copier:
Two price quotes were presented for an office machine that is a photo copier, a fax machine and a computer printer all in one unit.

Bauernfeind Business Technologies, Inc.: A Richo 1550MF for $1,477.00 with a servicing agreement $171.00 for 10,000.00 per year.

EO Johnson Company: a Lanier LDO 15spf for $1,695.00 with a servicing agreement $156.00 for 12,000.00 per year.

Dump Truck Purchase
Five price quotes were presented:
2006 International 7300        $74,900.00
2006 GMC TC7500        $75,046.00
2007 Ford F750S            $80,062.00

2007 Sterling VH Acterra    $81,040.00

An optional Stainless Steel Sander is an additional $800.00.

Maintenance Bob suggests we keep the current truck for hauling removed sidewalk, dirt, sand, etc.

Kaminski feels a new truck is not necessary. He also expressed that having two trucks with double the cost of property insurance and repairs is not wise.

One of the residents suggest the Board inspect the truck, go for a ride in it, see what Bob is talking about.
The treasurer reported there is $20,000.00 in the capital improvement fund that could be used as a down payment.

**The decision is tabled for answers on Property insurance premiums and estimate cost of repairs on the current truck over the past few years.

Highway 66 Enhancements:
President Hodge presented price quotes for Banners. 14 Winter and 14 Summer banners plus brackets will be approximately $3,560.00

A resident suggested we put up a banner to support the School District
A board member suggests we let the people of the Village decide on the design.
Someone asked if the Village could combine their order with another municipality to save funds on a bulk purchase?

The general consensus is to approve the amount of $3,560.00 for the banner enhancement (as a subunit of the previously approved amount of $20,000.00 for enhancements). Hodge will prepare a display for the Village folks to choose from on Election day in April. They will be notified of this opportunity in the next Quarterly 2 cents.

Contaminated Land: Since the Village is not liable for the clean-up due to tax delinquency, the Boards’ recommendation is to abandon the contaminated land issues at this time.

Parks:  Maintenance Bob suggests we use some of the fill material during the Highway 66 construction to level a swale on the land by the spillway. He will check with the DNR for regulations, but he wanted Board input before pursuing this option.

The Board recommends he check with the DNR and they also suggest he ask them if the Wet land on the North side of Highway 66 between Union and Depot Street can be landscaped.

Committee Reports:
~Health & Safety: Gemza contacted Portage County Emergency Services regarding the Rapid Response unit. She asked for Statistics to support their decision and various other questions. She felt the County could not provide adequate responses to any of her questions, therefore creating some concerns.
Motion:  Pliska/Gemza to pay the bills. All in favor. Carried.
Kaminski asked who authorized Maintenance Bob to repair the bucket on the Loader/Backhoe.  Hodge will remind Maintenance of the policy to obtain Board approval for expenditures over $250.00 for non-emergency items.

President Statements:
Hodge addressed the Board and asked for more participation and support at Board Meetings. She feels they are a unit and they should be voicing their opinions, offering solutions, and backing up previously made decisions.

Motion to adjourn: Gemza/Dobbe. All in favor. Carried.

Adjournment: 9:45 p.m.
