Comments from the Floor on Agenda items or any other items:
Tim Heineke, Five Star Fireworks Corp. stated he was here to address any concerns or
questions regarding Agenda item #10. He
asks that before the Board change any permit process that there be an agreement
that works for everybody. Chairman
Hultquist stated that this item was on the agenda because o f a letter given
him by Supervisor Martin, citing complaints from residents about fireworks on
Friday, Saturday & Sunday nights, mainly at weddings. No complaints were received re fireworks o n
July 4th. The ordinance
states that we follow the State of
Jean Braun-Amy, N7705 Norwegian Rd.She is not sure what action is to be taken today on the Country Pines Preserve. If it is to conform to the 700 ft site distance, she is in favor of that. She provided a copy of the Site Distance Table and stated that the site distance would vary with the number of houses allowed. With 4 houses allowed, there would be a substantial difference. She stated that the conditions of rezone state that there shall be no development within the environmental corridor or C1 rezone lands except for walking trails, gazebo and picnic area. Now the plans show a paved Town road going through the conservancy, which does not fit the description o f a walking trail. A solution would be to reduce the number of houses to four. Each 5 acres, which would make them more marketable. The long road leading to the houses would be eliminated, as the houses could be on the road.

Consider and
act on plan for
Concerns of the Board: One parking lot directed water into a rain
garden and their concern was that it would be a depository for trash. Dave and Paul stated that this was to show
that they had to address the runoff, but it could be done differently. Another concern was that rain gardens would
be an attraction for children. They explained
that rain gardens were not necessarily water, but were depressions in which
would be planted prairie plants. In some
cases the soil is altered to facilitate drainage. An example would be Mitchell Park,
Bob Bettendorf ?, president of the Oconomowoc Soccer Assoc., stated that they had spent $400.000 on the development to date and has noticed only one drainage issue, which is by the parking lot by the tennis courts. He suggests that the first concern should be buildings and landscaping around the perimeter, as much had already been spent on grading and athletic turf. Baseball fields would be the next logical step. So far he has not seen traffic issues either into or out of the park. He cautions the Board about changing the green space and suggests working on buildings and tennis courts. There is a grading plan, but no elevations.
