Ayes: 4  Nays: 0     motion carried


Michael Shaffer came to discuss the proposed subdivision of Robert Mead property by his estate (see sketch plan attached).  Mr. Shaffer requested that the Town not require a survey of all the land due to the high cost estimate he was given ($16,000) and the fact that 3 of the 4 parcels will not be put on the market.  Tim Bearup stated that surveys are not always required for a subdivision, they can be done after at the time of sale, that is a town decision.


A motion was made by Jason Tuning, seconded by Fred Griffen to recommend approval of the Mead subdivision, according to the attached sketch plan, to the Town Board, with the decision regarding a survey being up to them.

Ayes: 4  Nays: 0     motion carried



Ricky Yale came to discuss the subdivision of his brother Randy’s property on Telephone Road; he has a survey completed but needs to finish the subdivision application.


A motion was made by Jason Tuning, seconded by David Steiginga to recommend approval of the Yale subdivision to the Town Board, with Ricky bringing all paperwork to the Town Board meeting himself.

Ayes: 4  Nays: 0     motion carried
