Item 1:  Raymond and Kelly Boknevitz requested approval of a conditional use permit for a 24’ x 50’ outbuilding for Extensive On-site Storage at W217 Golden Lake Park Circle.

Item 2: Matt Bennet requested approval of a conditional use permit for operation of a tree service business at N6334 County Road E. The business would operate 4-5 days a week, 8 months of the year, 7:30 am to dusk. No work would take place on site and no tree waste would be disposed of on site. Employees (6 maximum) would pick up equipment and trucks at the site each morning and return in the evening. Work trucks and employee vehicles would be parked in the driveway, equipment would be stored in the proposed storage building. (Note: the Plan Commission recommended approval of a conditional use permit for a 40’ x 60’ outbuilding at the May 27 meeting). Jim Gilbert made a motion to recommend approval of a conditional use permit for the tree service business as presented. Second by Laura Callison. All approved. Motion passed.

Item 3:  Discussion of Town of Concord Ordinance 9.02 Firearms

After discussion with the Town Chair, the Plan Commission proposes that the Firearm ordinance be revised to read as follows:

“Hunters must have written permission from a property owner to hunt on property owner’s land. Such written permission, signed by property owner, must be carried on the hunter’s person. The property owner has the right to determine whether the hunter may use a rifle or a shotgun while hunting on his land.

No one may engage in target practice in the Town of Concord without written permission from the Town Board.”

Bill will check on the cost of replacing the “No Hunting” signs in the town. New signs would read: “No hunting in the town of Concord without written permission of property owner.”

 

Laura Callison made a motion to adjourn. Second by Jim Gilbert. Meeting adjourned.

 

Respectfully submitted,

Sally Williams, secretary
