Cedar Lake Speedway Campground License, Zoning and Building Permits : Board discussed concerns regarding building activity at Cedar Lake Speedway, performed without permits. Town Building Inspector confirmed the structure is subject to state review and approval of structural engineering before local building permits can be issued. Town Board declined to pursue enforcement action at this time. Cedar Lake Speedway requested permission to apply housewrap to the exterior to protect from the elements while they work through the permitting process. All Croix stated they can install a poly cover, but it would need to be removed for inspection. The Building Inspector and Town Attorney both confirmed the whole structure cannot be used and no additional work can be performed on the building until it’s permitted and passes inspection. The building is classified as an A-5 Occupancy Structure, which is subject to state review for modifications, including razing of the existing work. Clerk directed to ask All Croix representative Todd Dolan whether Cedar Lake Speedway could raze the new portion of the structure without subjecting it to state review. Regarding the campground license and zoning concerns at the Speedway, the Town Board confirmed Cedar Lake Speedway will need to get the appropriate conditional use and land use permits for private campgrounds and/or special event camping. The extension of camping to the west of County Road CC is subject to Town Ordinance 7-4-6, requiring a public hearing before the Town will consider including that land parcel in a potential campground license. Town Attorney confirmed the Speedway needs to secure the land and/or conditional use permits consistent with the use of the parcels. No action taken.
