Parcel locations and street address, fire numbers and road sign
inventory also need to be updated.

Whitefish Bay Dock – Feasibility Study Status – STS:  Zipperer
requested a 90-day extension of the STS proposal, as the DNR would not
be able to act on the request within the allotted time period.  The
contract will not be signed until we have received approval of the
one-half cost sharing from the DNR.

Schley.  Motion carried.
 
New Business:
 7:40 p.m. Assessor Plat Request –
Explanation/Discussion/Action:  The Town had received a request from
the Door County Planning Department to consider ordering an Assessor’s
Plat for the lots between Bark Road and County T (Glidden Drive) south
of Whitefish Bay Road.  As variance requests come in to the Resource
Planning Committee, there are problems with legal descriptions,
location of lots, gaps and overlaps.  Attorney Nesbitt gave a brief
explanation of the procedure, requirements for proper notification to
property owners, cost allocation and collection, and alternatives to
an assessor’s plat.  Joe Schroedl of Baudhuin Incorporated provided a
further explanation of the survey process and answered questions. 
There are 44 parcels included in the proposed plat.  Several property
owners expressed their opposition to an assessor’s plat; the Town had
also received correspondence from several property owners in
opposition.    Motion by Worrick and seconded by Haen not to proceed
with an Assessor’s Plat.  Motion carried.

Continued/pending business:
 Equalized Value 2001:  will be addressed under New Business.
 Survey – Moeller & Mathew Road status:  The surveys have not
been completed but Zipperer will be meeting with John Baudhuin to
resolve the matter.

Continuation of New Business:
Zoning & Planning Committee Recommendations: 
 Stephenson/Delchambre.  Olsen reported a recommendation was
made by the Zoning & Planning Committee to approve a variance request
by Mark Stephenson and Ceil Delchambre to reconfigure two parcels. 
Motion by Worrick and seconded by Haen to approve the recommendation
of the Zoning & Planning Committee.  Motion carried.
 John Borkovetz request for setback variance.  Following
discussion, motion by Worrick and seconded by Schley to table the
matter at this time.  Motion carried.
 Lautenbach/Papke zoning text amendment.  Olsen reported that
the Committee recommended to deny the text change amendment regarding
sign placement.  Motion by Schley and seconded by Haen to approve the
Committee’s recommendation for denial.  Motion carried.
  Flanigan.  Olsen reported that this matter has already been
taken care of.
  Petition by Liberty Grove – Town road setback.  Motion by

carried.

Door County Planning Construction Permits:  Permits for August 2001
were accepted and placed on file.

Independent Inspections Ltd. Town Building Permits:  The building
permits for August 2001 were accepted and placed on file.

Wis DOR – Equalized Value 2001 – Personal Property:  Olsen had
previously questioned the large increase in personal property
valuation from year 2000 to year 2001.  Wait spoke with the DOR and it
was explained that because the initial 2000 June estimate given by
Associated 


Appraisal was lower than the actual August figure, the DOR made a
“sec. 70.57” adjustment and added the increase to the 2001 personal
property valuation.  If there are no major changes in personal
property, we will be at $1,580,700 for year 2002.

Wis Department of Administration – Office of Land Information:  Wait
will complete and mail the 2002 Community Planning Activities Survey. 


Bosman parcel donation:  Attorney Nesbitt explained that this involves
a 23-foot parcel that is owned by Dick Bosman on the east shore of
Clark Lake with access to the water. At some point, the DNR owned
property to the south and there was a boundary problem among the
adjacent property owners, resulting in boundaries being moved to the
south.  Bosman unintentionally retained the 23 feet north of his
property which he would like to donate to the Town by quit claim deed;
however one of the property owners disputes its existence.  Motion by
Worrick and seconded by Schley to lay the matter over to the next
meeting pending a visual inspection of the property by Olsen. 
Discussion.  Motion carried.

Building Ordinance review:  Following brief discussion, motion by
Olsen and seconded by Worrick to refer the matter to the Zoning and
Planning Committee.  Motion carried.

Special Reports:  None.

Bills and Vouchers:  Motion by Schley and seconded by Olsen to approve
the bills for the month of August 2001.  We will hold the payment for
two defibrillators to DMX Medical pending clarification with Doug
Jorns, correction of the invoice amounts and cases for the units. 
Motion carried.

Announcements:  
 October 8 - Budget Work Session - 6:00 p.m.
 October 22 – Next regular meeting.

Adjourn:  
Motion by Olsen and seconded by Haen to adjourn.  Motion carried. 
Meeting adjourned at 9:17 p.m.

Respectfully submitted,


Linda D. Wait, Clerk/Treasurer
