Public Hearing for Homburg Equipment, Inc. on Petition #10107. There was Neighbor/Town members Jacobsen and Stricker that spoke against the petition indicating that they believed that increased noise pollution and increased trucking traffic would become problematic. Town member Vikken spoke in favor of the petition stating that the Homburgs had a long standing and proven record of good business practices in the area.

Consider and Take Action on the Homburg Petition. Chairman Fetterly stated that the petition would qualify for the application of the Town's conservation easement. The Homburgs indicated no conflict with the easement. Member Crothers made a motion to approve the motion as stated with restricting the usage in the C2 zoning to be: a,b,q,s,t and u and C1 to be: c,d,ej,k,l,o,p and r with no new signage and existing signage hours and hours of operation to be 6a — 9p. Member Havens seconded. Motion carried.

Consider and Take Action on a Preliminary Plan by Dennis Midthun (Petition #10119). Applicant represented by Birrenkott Surveying. Applicant proposing to rezone 6.642 acres from A-1 (Ex) Agriculture to C-2 Commercial to allow construction of a combined warehouse, small contractors' offices and sales/repair shops for small businesses and 7.0 acres from A-1(Ex) Agriculture to A-4 Agriculture to comply with zoning on the remaining lands @ 4100 CTH TT.

Chairman Fetterly pointed out that the proposal is configured in the shape of a flag lot, isn't consistent with the Town's Comprehensive Plan, would consume prime farmland and doesn't meet the required LESA score to be considered for approval. Member Stang made a motion to approve and there was no second. Motion failed.
