Mueller, who will re-imburse him for the money he has spent.
Jason - If the Town isn’t going to allow filling ditches then why allow it on Caledonia.

D. Unity Hospice
Jason asks for petition
Chair - input he has received is based on the location, not their function.
Chairs concerns are on their location of their facilities: community center, parking lot, and access roads.
Cy - Belin said they used to have one but had to close for lack of use.
Mike - His opinion is that they Unity is for those without a home to die in, or don’t want to die in front of kids. Had received comments that Unity is doing this only to get an expensive office building. This proposal allows for community use, will preserve open space. It gives something back to the community.
Ken - Received a few calls opposed but doesn’t think it’s a problem
Cy - didn’t like survey, doesn’t like the proposed location
Chair - read my recommended conditions list, with extras.
Chairman commented that he doesn’t like the buildings below the ledge ie: community building, parking, & access.
Architect added clarification that only 80 stalls are proposed around community building. Total of 45 parking spaces between Bay Settlement Rd and existing bld.
Nicole added clarification that if no community bld than they would not be interested.
Jason - asked for clarification on location of community bld.
Chair - does not like location.
Chair - does town want to consider limiting number of meetings.

F. Water Survey
Mr. Lippert explained that he did this not for his own good but for clarificaiton of the process, and prospect.
2004
2001 - 160 surveys returned
54% were opposed to water expansion
Broke into 3 geographic areas
1) Nicolet area: 54% in favor
2) Benderville: 36% in favor
3) Edgewater Beach: 50% in favor.
Given a referendum only residents could vote. Outcome would be almost the same, 54% were opposed.
Recommends that the town develop a water authority and develop a water study / master plan to determine when or if the water is expanded.
Surveys either before or after the deadline did not change the outcome.
Discussion expands to include Scott 1 request to become water authority.
