GENERAL PUBLIC WISHING TO ADDRESS THE COMMISSION None EXPEDITED ITEMS 1) Eckwright Rezone - Scott Faris informed the Commissioners that the Town Board had approved the rezone from Ag to R-1 at at their recent meeting. Mr. Cory Pecha was present, and explained the next step will be to develop a subdivision layout for numerous residential lots, with the initial three being done as a CSM. His initial sketch showed an extended cul-de-sac, but alternate layouts were discussed after he was advised of the Subdi- vision Ordinance’s maximum cul-de-sac length. He stated the CSM would be available for review at the Octo- ber PRTLU meeting. No additional Commission action was taken.

A motion to accept the Finan- cial Report was then made by Jerry Zais / Sue Lane; motion passed by unanimous voice vote. OLD BUSINESS 1) Town Parcel Development – Commissioners discussed possible names for the parcel.

NEW BUSINESS 1) Town-Owned Parcels Aerial Photos – Doug Matthews presented a tabulation of all 55 Town-owned parcels, along with a series of Town maps indicating of where they were located.

Mark Sedlacek informed the Commission that the private party that expressed a desire to fully fund a pavilion structure on Town property appears to have opted for a site in Cadott. However, he said two possible locations in the vicinity of the ball and soccer fields have been identified, if this decision should change. DeWayne Kru- menauer advised the Commission there may be a third location at some point, but it currently is not owned by the Town. No further Commission action was taken.
