Correspondence:
1) Notice of Changes to the Uniform Dwelling Code Law from Wisconsin
Department of Commerce. Zipperer stated that no further action is
required as our Town does enforce the Uniform Dwelling Code by
previous ordinance.
2) Response from Wisconsin Department of Transportation regarding
concerns with the intersection of Hwy 57 and County T (Whitefish Bay
Road) near Kerscher's Foodland. Reviewing the crash history and the
curve, the Department feels a passing lane is not warranted. However,
it would grant a permit to work on the highway if the Town or Door
County Highway Department wished to pursue the work.
3) Payment in Lieu of Tax from the Wisconsin Department of Revenue.
This program is designed to replace local property taxes when property
is acquired by the DNR and removed from the tax roll. These amounts
are distributed appropriately among the tax entities-State, County,
Municipality and School districts.

The correspondence will be accepted and placed on file, without
