Presentation from the Public:
L Updike suggested item ten be discussed at this point since most of
the people in attendance were present to voice their concerns about
the Viken Et Al Annexation Petition. Hearing no
objections item ten on the agenda was discussed. L Updike set the
stage by relaying background information about the boundary area
agreement discussions between Village of Cottage Grove, Town of
Cottage Grove and the Town of Sun Prairie. He then outlined the
procedure and process of an annexation. County Supervisors D
Wiganowsky and D Gau added comments and question from the area
residents followed. The major concern of the area residents that
border the property to be annexed is not knowing what development is
being planned for the area and how it will impact their property and
quality of country living. No Action taken.
Town Road Report:
D Farrell reported that
Towns of Media and Cottage Grove have posted their roads which
access the bridges at Baxter and Ridge Roads leaving access only
from the Town of Sun Prairie roads. The roads that would be used,
Ridge, Connors, & Pierceville, are not typically posted roads in the
Town of Sun Prairie. The discussion centered on temporarily posting
these roads or having a written agreement with Payne & Dolan to
cover road damages that occur during the reconstruction period.
Photos of the roads will be taken and used as a guide for damage. A
letter will be sent to Payne & Dolan.
The board members and D Farrell will
conduct the annual road tour April 6th at 1 pm. The salt
shed is full. There are some equipment repairs that they will
address now that the winter is drawing to an end.
Consider and Take
Action re: Zoning Petition #10121 by S Douglas, agent for K Miller,
S Douglas and D Farrell reached a verbal turn-around agreement to
allow the town equipment to turn around in the driveway at 4791
Norton road. Moved by D Yelk, second by V Pogue to rezone
approximately 15 acres at 4791 Norton Dr. to A-2 to allow a single
