SPECIAL BOARD MEETING

JANUARY 26, 2009

6:30 P.M.

 

Chairman Dale Beske called the meeting to order at 6:30 p.m.  Also present were Supervisors Milt Sperle, Jim Lunde, Sarah Shapiro Hurley, Clerk Dawn George, Patrolmen Nels Wethal and Dennis Wendt.

 

1.  Decision to repair or replace grader.  The grader has a worn out axle.  The patrolmen located a new axle which will reduce the cost needed to repair the grader.  There are still parts that need to be purchased at an approximate cost of $1850.  Sperle moved, Shapiro Hurley seconded, to authorize the repair of the grader; motion carried 4-0.

 

2.  Consideration of contributing to cost of a possible Water Management study for the Hwy 14/92 area.  Beske explained the opportunity to conduct a water management study of the whole drainage area from Brooklyn to Harvey’s Marsh at this time before WDOT replaces the culvert under Biglow Rd. and installs drainage along Hwy 14 and across Larry Farnsworth’s property as soon as the ground is ready this spring.  This engineering study would be done by Montgomery Associates to help determine if the proposed repairs will take care of the problems with water that occurred in 2008.  It is estimated to cost about $16,000 with possibly DOT, Fish & Wildlife, the Village of Brooklyn, the Town of Rutland and landowners contributing to the total cost.  The contract would be executed between Montgomery Associates and the Town of Rutland.   Shapiro Hurley moved to authorize the Chairman to negotiate the best deal possible for the town to contribute to the cost of the study for an amount not to exceed $3200; seconded by Lunde; motion carried 4-0.

 

3.  Consideration of and possible action on amendment of Petition 10005 to include rezoning of entire parcel and additional CUP’S allowing collection center.  Dane County has determined that the entire 18-acre parcel containing the collection center needs to be rezoned to make the parcel conforming.  They recommend that the entire parcel be rezoned to A-2 with a conditional use permit for the 10,000 square feet for the proposed cell tower portion  and, (b) a conditional  use permit for the balance of the 18 acres to (g) salvage recycling, (h) solid waste collection, and (j) governmental uses.  Shapiro Hurley moved to rescind the action of the January 6, 2009 approving petition 10005/CUP 2096 and approve amending the petition to rezone the entire parcel to A-2 and approve CUP’s for the parcel as stated above; seconded by Sperle, motion carried 4-0.

 

4.  Site Access Agreement for Cell Tower agreement with Verizon.  Verizon has a standard Site Access Agreement that needs to be signed to cover the property until the previously approved lease is actually recorded and in effect.  The town attorney has been working with the Verizon attorney to clarify the language.  Sperle moved, Shapiro Hurley seconded, to authorize the chairman to sign the Site Access Agreement once the Town Attorney Al Reuter is satisfied that the language is suitable; motion carried 4-0.

 

Sperle moved, Shapiro Hurley seconded to adjourn the special Board meeting; motion carried 4-0.

 

Respectfully Submitted,

Dawn George, Clerk
