Business:
Comprehensive Planning: a Planning Commission meeting took place prior to the Town Board meeting. It was to discuss and recommend action by the Board, regarding a request for a Comp Plan amendment and a Zone Map amendment from Scott Young. The Planning Commission did recommend moving forward with the requested amendments, by approving Resolution# 5-22 unanimously. The decision was based on the Ordinance and the amendments allowed by current law. Bonikowske/Moede to approve the resolution to proceed with the amendments. Public Hearing for the Comp Plan amendment will be held at 6:30pm on July 14, 2022, prior to the July regular Town Board meeting. Public Hearing requires a 30 day published notice prior to being held. The Comp Plan Amendment (an ordinance change) will be on the July 14th regular Town Board agenda for action.
The Posting places were discussed. Currently the three physical places are: The Manawa Recycling Center, the Little Wolf Town Hall and Cedar Springs. The box at Cedar Springs was removed when the building was re-sided. It has not been placed back up. The state statutes require at least one physical place or more, when the use of a town website is used (see 985.02(2) (a) The notice must be posted in at least 3 public places likely to give notice to persons affected or must be posted in at least one public place likely to give notice to persons affected and placed electronically on an Internet site maintained by the municipality).
