Travis from Secluded Land Compay said it would be fine that the Board of Supervisors did not rule on the request for rezoning on the Syl Leibel property until the next regular Town of Coon Board of Supervisors meeting. He would not want it rezoned to residential if no homes could built on the property because the assessed value of the property would increase .
Craig asked about the protected covenants included in the contract of purchase of land. No number of homes would be included in these covenants and any number of homes could be conseveably be built and no protection for rural and ag land would occur.
No decision would be made on the request for rezoning until a determination on what or all of property was in a flood plain and sanitation approved.
The fire call for Greg Martell had been paid except the $75.00 charged by Rick Stegen This cost would have to be absorbed, The township could not send another bill for this amount.
Uniform Dwelling Code: Vince Schmitz from Cashton was present and stated that the township would have to pass an ordinance on what the township would expect for an inspector of new homes to do. Those homes built now and being inspected by Smercina would be still under his contract.
Mr. Schmitz said that prices would go up due to the higher gas prices. There would be a 30 day waiting period after he was hired. It was decided that the board would table hiring a new inspector until the next regular Town of Coon Board of Supervisors meeting.
Orlan said he had until September 15, 2005 to complete rating the Town of Coon roads for the state.
A newsletter would be written by Orlan
David Stowe was upset about not being able to get rid of certain large objects. Orlan told him the township had 2 large cleanup days in the year to get rid of these items. Mr. Stowe also was concerned about the recylcling of certain products such as cardboard. Orlan mentioned that the value of aluminum was still there but not cardboard. Mr. Stowe wanted it in writing why the township could not recycle cardboard like other townships and businesses.
Rebecca Gretebeck from Rural Insurance Companies was their to review township insurance coverage. The Town Board decided to raise town liability and officials liabilty to twice the amount held previously. $120,000 value placed on the new loader.
