Town of Oakland, Burnett County, Wisconsin Regular Monthly Meeting Minutes June 11, 2020 The regular monthly meeting was called to order by Chairman, Wayne Larrabee. All Board members were in attendance. The meeting was opened with the Pledge of Allegiance followed by a prayer offered by Lynda Weber. The minutes from the May meeting were reviewed. Harm Weber moved to approve the minutes as presented; Tim McIntyre seconded the motion. The motion to approve carried. Julie Hinz and Rick Hopkins presented their proposed plans for constructing public storage units on Gables Road; they have applied for a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for a zoning change for 6.89 acres within a 40-acre parcel on Gables Road to be used for public storage units. The parcel is zoned "industrial" and storage units are not allowed in an industrial area. When asked about neighbors, Ricky indicated there is a vacant 10- acre lot between his parcel and the one owned by Gladys Feuerhake. The initial plan is to put up one building in 2020 but the drawing presented accounted for future growth to as many as ten buildings. Discussion among the Board members indicated that Ricky had addressed all concerns they'd expressed. Tim McIntyre questioned whether a fire truck could get around all of the buildings; Ricky indicated that actual placement of the buildings could be made to accommodate emergency vehicle access. A motion was made by Harm Weber that the Town notify the Land Use Committee that they have no objection to the request for a Zoning Change/CUP provided the buildings are placed such that there is four-sided access for the fire department to all buildings; the motion was seconded by Tim McIntyre and passed. Subsequent discussion led to an amended motion by Harm Weber to approve the plan as submitted provided all storage is inside the buildings with no shrink-wrapped vehicles or boats stored outside. The motion was seconded by Tim McIntyre and passed. Because Ricky and Julie had already left the meeting, Sherri) will send an e-mail to Ricky explaining the amended motion. Copies of the May 2020 Treasurer's Report were presented by Lynda Weber. Tim McIntyre motioned to accept the report as presented; Harm Weber seconded the motion. The motion carried. Sherril presented the May invoices for payment. Tim McIntyre motioned to approve the invoices as presented; Harm Weber seconded and the motion carried.
