REPORT FROM CHAIRMAN: Chairman Sedlacek reported that he had talked
to Fire Chief Dennis Klass from Cornell and Fire Chief Rick
Schemenauer from Anson, pertaining to the statement made from the
Eagle Point Fire Chief that those two Fire depts. are not calling the
Eagle Point Fire dept. to assist on any calls in the area of the
township they cover for us. Chief Klass was not at the fire call Jeff
mentioned so it was the Deputy Fire Chief that made the decision to
call in Bloomer to assist, there was no particular reason that is just
who he called in. Chief Klass also stated he received an e-mail from
Jeff Bowe that was unprofessional and enclosed a copy for the board to
see. Jeff Bowe commented that he feels the Eagle Point Fire dept.
should be toned when assistance is needed by one of those two depts.
REPORT FROM FIRE CHIEF: None
PUBLIC COMMENTS: A question was asked who runs the tones for the
fire calls; The County Sheriff Dept. does the tones for emergency
calls.
Rocky Berg Stated he is building turkey barns and the road bans are
going on Wed. and he is getting cement on Friday.. Chairman Sedlacek
said it would be OK.
David Dresel also stated he has to move machinery while the road bans
are on, the Chairman told him to call him when he needs to move
something.
TOWN BUSINESS:
Conditional use Permit / Mathey Construction: Candy Anderson appeared
and is asking for a renewal for the pit, they would also like to open
phase 2, wash rocks, and install a redi mix plant. Ron Tiry a neighbor
of the site spoke and said he has a health condition and the noise and
dust coming from the pit now is interfering with his health, if the
town allows phase 2 a permit his health condition will be affected
even more severely. Arnie Bowe also a neighbor spoke, he stated he had
to put in a new well and he feels it was because of the present pit,
he and Mr. Tiry have great concerns as to what will happen to there
well water, another neighbor Jon Silvernail who could not be present
sent a letter to the board stating the same concerns. Candy from
Mathey and Ron Brown from American Materials stated their is a 250
foot set back from the Tiry house, they would put up a berm with
trees. Steve asked how much water the cement plant uses and Mr. Brown
estimated use of 4,000 gallons per day stating they would put in a
water holding tank and a well would be installed. He also estimated
200 yards of cement being hauled out per day, and 3 trucks being
stationed their at all times.
Steve and Mike asked if a water test could be done. Candy stated she
could call a Hydrogeoligist to test water levels and to monitor them;
the neighbors also have concerns about the hours of operation stating
the asphalt plant turns on its equipment at 5:00 A.M, the crusher runs
from 6:00 A.M.-9:00 P.M. American Materials would let the neighbors
know if they would be hauling during the night, which on occasion they
do. The pit would be open for next 20 years, April1—November 25 (deer
hunting) each year. They could do seismograph testing also if the
board would like.
The board is recommending hours of operation to be 7:00 A.M.-9:00
P.M. with no early startups or past 9:00 P.M. and wants the
Hydrogeoligist to do water level testing with reports turned into the
board every 2-3 months.
Brad Schuster / Speed limit on State St: Did not appear
Steve Goettl / Garbage Service: Steve asked when our current
contract was up with Waste Management, The Chairman told him Sept. 1,
2008 Steve would like the board to get quotes from a couple more
haulers as he feels the prices are too high for his dumpster.
Info on Automatic Fire Response from Chip. Falls / South end of
township: Chairman Sedlacek read minutes from 2003 where the board
consisted of Jeff Bowe, Steve Goettl and LaVonne Dejno. Fire Chief
Jeff Dachel asked if he could get a quote from the city of Chippewa
Falls for Automatic Fire Response on the south end of the township,
ISO would like to see an automatic response and it would lower
Insurance cost for residents. The board told him to get the quote….
However he never did, so the present Clerk asked Chairman Sedlacek if
she could follow thru and ask the city for a quote he said go ahead
