Amanda Surfus from the Door County Soil & Water Conservation office reminded the board that there is still funding available for the plan designed by Miller Engineers & Scientists, June 2008, for the Lakeside Park project.

Petition for Zoning Amendment - Petition for Zoning Amendment - Map (Applicant: Thomas Lutsey) – Tax Parcel No. 016-00-02292711B [The petition is to effect a change in the Zoning Classification of real estate, located at Fire No. 7281 Logerquist Road as follows; from Natural Area (NA) Zoning District to General Agricultural (GA) Zoning District]. The land described will be used for proposed establishment of a farm market.

Motion (Jeanne/Randy/Passed) unanimously to support the request.

The Jacksonport Town Board voted unanimously in support of the application because the Town Board members felt the current use better fits the description for General Agricultural area than it does the Natural Area designation. Note the description for GA in the Door County Zoning Ordinance: “This district is intended to maintain agricultural lands which have historically demonstrated high agricultural productivity.” Also, there was no opposition to the requested zoning change expressed to board members from Jacksonport residents, neither before the meeting, nor during the public comment portion of the town board meeting.

Application for Conditional Use Permit (Applicant: Thomas Lutsey) – Tax Parcel No. 016-00-02292711B [A farm market is currently not an allowed use in the NA zoning district. A farm market is allowed with a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) in the GA zoning district. The CUP will not be scheduled for public hearing until a decision has been made on the rezoning.]

Motion (Tom/Randy/Passed) unanimously to support the request.

The Jacksonport Town Board voted unanimously in support of the application because the Town Board members felt the proposed farm market in Jacksonport would be a benefit to the community. Organic food production and sales is an up and coming business and would definitely represent a valuable asset to the area. Also, there was no opposition presented to board members neither before the meeting, nor during the public comment portion of their town board meeting.

Reminder that the Budget Workday will be held, October 19, 2010 6:30 pm at the Clerks home and Budget Hearing November 9, 2010 6:30 pm at the Town Hall.

Correspondence was made available to town board members.

Respectfully submitted,
Eileen Phetteplace, Clerk
