Review/’Take Action on a Proposed Certified Survey Map (CSM) for Parcel
#SC-493-I located on the southeast corner of Champeau Road and Edmund Road
D. Cerny referenced comments on his staff report (Item 5,
Attachment 1) and the Certified Survey Map (Item 5, Attachment 1, pp. 1-3).
Five of the Joint Planning Commission members have responded to the poll
about holding a meeting and approval of the CSM.
All five were in agreement that a meeting was not necessary and were in
agreement with approval of the CSM. Following
discussion, M. VanLanen moved to accept CSM as presented. J. Zlatohlavek
seconded. All in favor.
Motion carried.
6.
Review/Take action on a proposed amendment to the Reclamation Plan for
the N.E.A./ Tordeaur Quarry located on Church Road
D. Cerny distributed a letter from Northeast Asphalt, Inc.,
two drawings of their proposal and an aerial map. (Item 6, Attachment 1, pp. 1-4.)
N.E.A. representatives explained that they feel the new proposal would be
safer and more aestheticlly pleasing than to end the quarry in a highwall.
Cerny informed members that this proposal would require an amendment to
the Town’s non-metallic mining ordinance to allow a quarry wall to be tapered
starting 50’ from a lot line. He suggested that the 3 to 1 slope extend into
the water and that it would be helpful for the Commission to see a big picture
illustration of where both N.E.A./Tordeaur and Daanen and Janssen quarries will
end up. Discussion followed.
D. Herold made a motion that the non-metallic mining
ordinance be amended to accommodate sloping for reclamation to include quarry
activity to occur up to 50’ of a property line if it is in the best interest
of public safety and aesthetic value of the property. The motion failed for lack of a second.
Concern was expressed that any change to the ordinance would
apply to all quarries in the Town and that information about the bigger picture
is required to make the decision.
D. Herold moved to table any recommendation until the next
meeting, pending receipt of more information from all quarries in the Town.
J. Zlatohlavek seconded. All
in favor. Motion carried.
7.
Review proposed Natural and Archeological Resource Preservation Ordinance
D. Cerny reviewed printed information relevant to this item
including: a draft of the Natural and Archeological Resource Preservation
Ordinance (Item 7, attachment 1, pp. 1-13); 2 handouts from Janet Speth of the
University of Wisconsin-Fox Valley (Item 7, Attachment 2, pp. 1-19); and
Strategies for Preserving Natural Features in the Town of Scott (Item 7,
Attachment 3, pp. 1-9). Discussion
ensued. B. Roskams suggested
revision of the proposed ordinance Section 6, Item 2.c. to remove the word
“enforcement”. He also encouraged language in the ordinance to allow for a
variety of lot sizes within conservation by design developments.
D. Cerny will continue to work on the proposed ordinance.
