A
representative from All American Homes distributed a site plan for the Barbara
Kakuk property at W2580 County Road B described as part of the NW1/4 SE1/4,
Section 29, T30N R23E (parcel number 024-1589.000). Considerable discussion ensued regarding the
original variance by the Board of Appeals dated September 14, 2000. The Board of Appeals recommended approval to
the Town Board for Kakuk, then known as Barbara Kmecheck, to remodel the garage
located on her parcel for an upholstery business. In the spring of 2001 the sewing machines for
the business were moved into the home because of flooding in the garage. The saws used in the business remain in the
garage. It appears the Town Board never
approved the recommendation of the Board of Appeals. Kakuk is now asking the the Plan Commission
to approve the placement of a new home on the existing parcel which will be
used as the future family dwelling, converting the current family dwelling
located on the site to business and using the garage formerly used for business
purposes back to a private garage. The
Plan Commission determined that Kakuk cannot use a separate building for
business purposes only. The Town Zoning
Ordinance allows “Home Occupations” within the A-1 District. If current family dwelling is converted to
business usage it would not longer be classified as a home occupation according
to the definition in the Zoning Ordinance.
Therefore, Kakuk and the All American Homes representative have agreed
to locate the new home as an extension/addition to the current residence
thereby creating a large single family residence. The Commission instructed Kakuk that should a
separate structure is ever used for business, the property must be re-zoned to
Business. Kakuk was reminded that the
Town Board must approve the use of the home occupation as soon as
possible. The Town Board meeting being
held on October 26, 2004 was suggested.
Motion
by Malechuk, second by Cerrato to recommend to the Town Board the development
and passage of an ordinance or resolution which would require a security
deposit to remove existing dwelling on a parcel of land within six (6) month of
occupancy to the new dwelling. Approved
unanimously.
Sylvester
will develop a list of parcels which have two or more residences or a business
and a residence on one parcel. The list
will be based on information received from Town Assessor, Ron Walters. This list will be given to Town Clerk,
Clarence Coble and Leo Krivickas, Town Building Inspector to monitor furute
title transfers. In addition, a letter
will be developed stating these multiple dwellings can remain on the parcel
until title is transferred, at which time the parcel must be split of the
secondary dwelling removed from the home site.
Clarence
Coble presented information regarding the development of the 2 C’s Game Farm
Campground. The campground will be
located in the W1/2 NE1/4 of Section 7, T29N R23E on the property currently
zoned A-1, Agriculture-Low Density.
According to Section 4 of the Zoning Ordinance developing a campground
is a conditional use. Pottratz
recommended approval to the Town Board for the campground provided the
Conditional Use Form is completed.
Second by Cerrato. Carried.
