April 4, 2023 <br /> Page 3 of 7 <br /> Erik Wilkies is a property owner 3 mile away. He stated he is here for the quiet. Mr. Wilkies <br /> does ride a Harley. You can hear the motocross all day long. You need 50 — 60 acres to build <br /> something like this. The track affects the wildlife and he is opposed to this CUP. <br /> Jeff Fagan stated he is against permitted use for this track. Family and friends no longer visit and <br /> the wildlife is non-existent. This use affects the health, general welfare and economic prosperity. <br /> The snowmobiles and bikes are pro-machines. They are loud and a fire risk. You need hearing <br /> protection. These owners have no respect for the county or neighboring property owners. <br /> Roxanne Brown-Josephs stated, according to the map, she is the closest business. She runs a nail <br /> and spa business. They did not know about the permits but when they found out, they <br /> immediately applied for the permit. The noise is not as bad as everyone makes it seem. They <br /> should compromise. If it disrupts the wildlife, why would the DNR approve it? She is in support <br /> of this. <br /> Tanya Davies stated this request and use of the property in question is not congruent with the <br /> area or local values. This goes against types of recreation in this area near and dear to other <br /> people. Once these areas are lost it takes generations to regain. Do not uphold this request. <br /> Taylor Wilkie is not opposed to dirt bikes but is opposed to the track. This is unnecessary and is <br /> concerned about this track going commercial. This is a detriment to the environment and citizens <br /> and is concerned about property values. <br /> Andrew Nelson is an attorney for the Fagan family. Mr. Nelson submitted a packet to the <br /> committee. The Fagan family objects to this and there is nothing in the ordinance that supports <br /> this CUP. The Lambrechts should have looked at the conditions to have this track. There is no <br /> safety plan for emergency services. <br /> Wanda Mangelson lives across the street and her grandson cannot sleep on the weekends because <br /> of the noise. This disrupts the hunting. They cannot use the patio in the summer time. She feels <br /> bad for the people that bought the property for the track but she is against this. <br /> Brad Johnson is the closest to the track. Mr. Johnson stated he is all for family enjoying their <br /> property. His plans were to build a home on his property, but not sure now if he is going to or <br /> not. It was quiet last summer because they got in trouble. He cannot imagine what is going to <br /> happen on a Saturday and is opposed to this. They did not collect sap this year because of the <br /> noise. <br /> Milan Wilkie lives 3 mile away. She can hear the bikes going. Ms. Wilkie stated she is here to <br /> enjoy her property and has concerns about the wildlife. There should be sound protection. The <br /> noise is horrible and should not be in residential zone. Please deny this. <br /> Forrest Malik has enjoyed motocross. Properties are always butting other properties. There <br /> should be limited and scheduled times to use the track. He hopes there can be a compromise and <br /> is looking for the best outcome. <br /> Don Hamilton stated he supports motorized recreation and property rights. He supports <br /> reasonable regulation. Chapter 30 governs us all. This motocross conflicts with the Town of <br />
