Town Planning & Zoning Committee Recommendations:    Olsen reported on
a recommendation from the Planning & Zoning Committee regarding a
request for change in zoning by Dean Gigstead for 15 acres located on
West Jorns Lane and currently zoned estate (5 acre).  Adjacent
property owners would also like a change in zoning to small estate
(1.5 acre) affecting a total of 140 acres and request that the Town
make application for the change.  Motion by Olsen and seconded by
Schley that the Town of Sevastopol petition the Resource Planning
Committee for a change in zoning from estate to small estate for the
140 acres.  Motion carried.  
Olsen reported on a request by Norman Paul to rebuild his home at 5350
County T.  The home burned in November 2002 and Paul wishes to place a
modular home for the most part on the same footprint, which would not
meet current setback requirements.  Motion by Worrick and seconded by
Olsen to recommend approval of Paul's request for a variance.  Motion
carried.

Special Reports by Chairman:
  Cherry Road Hiking and Jogging Trail.  Zipperer read a letter dated
February 6, 2003 from Attorney Nesbitt addressed to Associated
Appraisal Consultants regarding the 1998 WPS installation of high
voltage power lines along Cherry Road and several property owners
conveying by quit claim deed the east 43 feet of their properties for
a hiking/walking/jogging trail.   Attorney Nesbitt asked for
clarification from our assessor as to ownership and assessed values of
these parcels.  
  Sturgeon Bay Utilities.  The City of Sturgeon Bay has adopted an
ordinance whereby delinquent sewerage, water and electric services
shall become liens upon the property and recoverable by civil action
against the property owner.   This action is similar to delinquent
Sevastopol sanitary district charges which are placed upon the tax
roll and may affect property along Bay Shore Drive and Glidden Drive
which is serviced by Sturgeon Bay Utilities.
  Beverage License Ordinance.  Zipperer submitted several questions to
Attorney Nesbitt and we are waiting for his answers prior to
proceeding on ordinance revisions.
