E. Night Parking Ordinance The existing ordinance prohibiting parking between the hours of 3 A.M. and 6 A.M. was reviewed. It will be updated and revised.

–Bill Roskams, Chairman of Plan Commission provided a background of all of the effort expended in the past 13 years to develop the Comprehensive Plan. The Plan has been approved by the Plan Commission and now is awaiting the approval of the Town Board

-Dave Cerny reviewed the land use development projections. The focus of the development is around the City owned property on the corner of 54/57 and linking to New Franken to form a core of a village.

Motion by M. Van Lanen, second by Jacobs to open the floor to allow for public input. Vote: Aye-5, No-0. Carried.

–Lloyd Van Lieshout questioned why certain property is limited to development for 10-20 years. This provides serious restrictions to the property. This is too limiting. M. Van Lanen responded that this plan is focused on 2010 and will have updates at 5 year intervals. Procedures for updates are established and are same as changes to ordinances. The overall plan is to support village status.

-Bill Ullmer–Will the Zoning Ordinance be updated? M. Van Lanen stated that the Plan Commission will update the ordinances to support the plan. Ullmer stated that the village focus should be in SW corner of the town. Dave Cerny responded that there are two potential village areas-one is historic Bay Settlement area and the other is east of City annexation.

-Gary Wickert representing Jim Schmidt–It appears as if the plan is fueled by location of sewer lines. Schmidt owns 180 acres adjacent to Bayshore Sanitary District sewers R-1 and Ag transitional. Sewer is available along Nicolet Drive. Schmidt property is all limited to 20 year development. The portion now zoned R-1 Residential should be in the 0-5 year time and the Ag Transitional in the 5-10 year time frame. This would be consistent with other locations in town. Dave Cerny stated that the plan must be consistent and these changes are not easily done. Bay Shore sewer line installed for pollution control. Bill Roskams stated that the Plan Commission reviewed this option and voted not to change as was recomended by staff reports. There has been no request for development in this area in past years. Cerny stated that he has received notification that the Town of Scott has received a Coastal Management Grant to study archeological and natural resources in areas below Niagara Escarpment. Study should be completed before development occurs. Wickert questioned how much sewer capacity is available?

--Gary Guth–Supports defining historical areas of the town. What happens to p roperty if designated historical? Would it be removed from tax roll.What are recreational plans? Cerny stated that we will have to react to the information that is uncovered. Park and Recreation Committee needs to be formed to handle these issues.

–John Trabert asked what the transportation plans are if town roads are closed? DOT needs to complete a corridor study with Town input. Harris stated that the Plan does not mean cutoff of access .Intersections will be evaluated and options presented. Many questions exist at this time.

–Wayne Federspiel–What are projections of property tax increases. Cerny stated that that is not part of plan.

–Ken Jacobs–20 year development projection time line will reduce land values in the short term.

–Cy Van Laanen–20 year development projection for property west of SH57 is too long.

–Bill Roskams–What area is in Coastal Management Grant. Cerny stated that property from city limits on south to north town limits below escarpment. Storm water study also needs to be done. Supports Plan Commission recomendation and ordinances to support village incorporation.

–Paul Brinkman-Green Bay Press Gazette stated that he is interested in news items for the paper.

–Ken Hendrickson–Bellevue was a mess without a plan like this. M. Van Lanen stated that the Plan Commission looked at the big picture and looked to the future.

-Gary Wickert–If property owners can do small developments and not subdivisions, it can lead to spotty development

-Gary Guth-Schmidt’s property is a good area for development.

-Sandy Boucher-Areas with access to the Bay need to have toilets. M. Van Lanen stated that all things that are needed come at a cost and need to be part of the budget.

-Larry Verheyden-likes this plan. It will avoid problems like Bellevue has where the Fire Station is in the wrong place.

-Cy Van Laanen.-stated that there should be a 15-20 year moratorium on quarry expansions. There is a need to see growth plans before more quarries are allowed.

-Jason Horkman–There is a problem in becoming a village unless more development occurs especially in the BayShore area.

Motion by Jacobs to return to the agenda. No second.

-M. Van Lanen–expressed concerns about comments from board members that don’t support the plan without having attended any meetings. Smart Growth means slow controlled growth. More discussion followed on future impacts of the plan.

-Lloyd Van Lieshout–agreed with Horkman’s comments

-Bill Ullmer–For annexations to occur they must be contiguous to City property.

Jim Schmidt–Reviewed input from Planner Bob Rudd which indicated that the area between the bay and the ledge is ready for development. Don’t draw the circle too small on proposed developments. Changing the time frame for development does not necessarily mean development now nor does it preclude future development.

Motion by M. Van Lanen to return to Agenda, second by Jacobs. Carried.

M. Van Lanen reviewed the Plan Commission Resolution of January 26, 2006 which approved the Comprehensive Plan.

M. Van Lanen reviewed proposed ordinance 2006-02-01 Comprehensive Plan Prdinance.

Horkman stated that numerous other studies concerning land use must be done. Should the plan be approved now. The demands of the Smart Growth Law must be met and development should be in phases. Motion by M. Van Lanen, second by Horkman to withdraw the previous motion. Vote Aye-5, No-0. Carried
