Mulliken moved, Hoyerman seconded to approve the consent agenda as presented, all ayes.
Motion carried.
8. Administration:
a. Presentation from Maintenance Manager Justin MacDonald relating to winter storm Elsa:
K. Nelson thanked Justin MacDonald, Matt Bader, and Brad Rasmussen for their efforts, noting they
operated the Village's three (3) trucks nearly non-stop for five (5) days, sometimes sleeping at the
public works building during winter storm Elsa.
MacDonald remarked on the challenges of the winter storm, underscoring the indispensable help
from Rasmusson and Bader. Their roles were vital when the snowfall began on Thursday with nine
inches (9”). Saturday's preparations included fueling trucks, preparing vehicles, and preparing the
emergency generators. By early Sunday morning, operations began with two (2) trucks and a skid
steer. Despite severe winds on Monday, which caused near-whiteout conditions and power outages,
the team displayed teamwork by repeatedly getting unstuck and assisting each other. The office
sustained closures Monday and Tuesday, described by MacDonald as "unheard of in village
operations." With roads becoming impassable, efforts shifted to aiding the Highway and Sheriff's
Departments. Tuesday saw improvements in road accessibility, further supported by Piel’s 1980
Oshkosh truck, crucial for opening up intersections that Village equipment was not capable of
handling. MacDonald praised the cooperation of residents who heeded the calls not to travel, whose
compliance eased efforts, reporting only three (3) welfare checks required. Closing with photos of
snow drifts and operations, he expressed profound gratitude to his crew and recognized their
sacrifices, highlighting how photo evidence documented their feats, with one (1) image even making
national news.
b. Presentation of the Annual Fire Report:
MacDonald reviewed the 2025 Annual Fire Department Report. He covered 2025 staffing, training,
equipment, fire inspections, equipment maintenance, station maintenance, annual testing, and
community engagement. He went on to review call data, trends, and Fire/EMS responses in 2025.
K. Nelson thanked MacDonald and asked him to pass along the board's appreciation to all
volunteers, noting the impressive statistics.
c. Update regarding the Door County Emergency Tower Project Draft Intergovernmental
Agreement and Easement:
Bristol noted he had received a response from the County regarding the Village’s concerns about the
Easement and Maintenance Operations Agreements, which had been forwarded to the Board that
day. Since neither they nor their attorney had adequate time to review the response, Bristol
3
suggested forwarding it to the Village attorney for review. He noted that the County had updated the
site plan to move the tower to the far southeast corner of the village property on German Road, as
previously requested. Further testing and borings would be needed at some point.
d. Discussion and consideration regarding EBC request for Fyr Bal road closure:
Lane Methner from the Ephraim Business Council requested the road closure for Fyr Bal on
Saturday, June 20th, from 7:30 AM to 10:30 PM. This represented the same closure used
successfully for many years, with this being her ninth Fyr Bal coordination.
The closure would extend from Moravia Street (Marina area) on the south to Cedar Street to the
north, with remote parking at the Ephraim Gibraltar Airport and old Shopko parking lot, and buses
providing transportation from 8:30 AM to 10:30 PM. The request aimed to provide a safe
environment for attendees, with coordination through Door County Emergency Services and
MacDonald to ensure all safety measures were in place.
Bristol noted this was approval to apply for the closure, as it remained subject to WI DOT approval
for the state highway closure, though the WI DOT had been cooperative historically.
Mulliken moved, Meacham seconded to request that the Village Administrator work with the
DOT for the Fyr Bal road closure as presented, all ayes. Motion carried.
e. Discussion and consideration regarding renewal – Class “B” Alcohol Beverage Retailers
License:
1. Hotel Ephraim LLC – dba Water Street Inn – 9944 Water Street:
2. Ephraim Motel Inc. – dba Ephraim Motel – 10407 HWY 42:

Water Street, and SIP JF LLC- dba SIP- 10326 Water Street pending fire and health
inspections, all ayes. Motion carried.
g. Discussion and consideration regarding Resolution 01-2026 – 2025 Budget Amendment:
Bristol explained this was an annual resolution provided by Collak around audit time to close out the
books by moving money around for the use of room tax, PRAT, and Capital Reserve funds that are
set aside for specific purposes but not necessarily budgeted for use within a given year.
T. Nelson moved, Hoyerman seconded to approve Resolution 01-2026 – 2025 Budget
Amendment, all ayes. Motion carried.
h. Update regarding the North Path Project:
K. Nelson reported that construction was planned to start on the 21st of the month. A contractor had
4
cut down all stumps and still needed to grind them before construction could begin.
Bristol noted that, as a land-disturbing activity, they hoped everything would be adequately drained
without creating muddy conditions. The anticipated completion remained before Memorial Day
weekend, fingers crossed. Bristol added that he would be communicating with affected property
owners about project start, timing of disruptions, driveway access, and when work impacting
individuals would occur.
K. Nelson expressed appreciation for all landowners who engaged with easements to the Village for
the path construction.
i. Update regarding Moravia Point Landscaping Project:
Bristol acknowledged that the winter storm caused delays, but noted that progress continued. They
met with Bob Bultman from Door County Prairie Company for a proposal focusing on native prairie
grass and flower plantings. Bultman emphasized patience, recommending against stump removal
due to erosion risks. Prairie plants establish roots before flowering, with initial growth later replaced
by perennials. Oats were suggested for quick greening over stumps. Prescriptive burning would
control invasives and aid growth. The Physical Facilities Committee supported further investigation.
T. Nelson sought clarity regarding bushes and trees in previous iterations of the plan. After review, it
was noted that the motion giving Bristol direction from the March Board meeting addressed grass
and seeds only, allowing for future additions. Bristol sought to confirm board expectations on the
plan’s scope and whether work could start soon. K. Nelson directed Bristol to proceed with the plan,
prioritizing greenery for Fyr Bal, without delaying progress. Some areas could green this year,
though full seeding would likely be in the fall. Mulliken supported the plan's consistency, suggesting
signage for education and protection during seeding, as seen in Madison with controlled burn sites.
j. Discussion and consideration regarding setting PW ordinance amendment for public hearing:
Nelson provided extensive background on the Protected Waterfront District Ordinance §17.20,
which was modified in September 2024 to allow limited expansion possibilities for properties
between Highway 42 and the water from Good Eggs to the Anderson Warehouse.
The 2024 modifications to the ordinance aimed to allow up to 1.5-story homes while preventing full
2-story construction due to concerns about mass, scale, and compatible infill. However, since the
amendment to the ordinance, two (2) concept plans have come forward showing full two (2) story
houses with mass and scale beyond intended limits, all involving teardowns of existing structures.
An ordinance modification would provide time to review and revise §17.20 to clarify original
intentions and reflect the Plan Committee and Village Board goals. The proposal would repeal
section §17.23(b)(1), allowing additions, modifications, or replacement of existing residences, while
keeping section (2), allowing replacement of residences destroyed by natural disasters or fires.
Section §17.25 covering the review process would also be struck.
K. Nelson emphasized that current concept reviews had no vested interest. There would be one
more, possibly two, depending on the timing of complete application submissions, Plan Committee
meetings that would occur under existing rules, with any proposals meeting current ordinance
requirements being considered under the current ordinance.
K. Nelson read into the record the motion of the Plan Committee on March 31, 2026. “McClean
moved, Held seconded to recommend to the Village Board a building permit moratorium of six
months in the Protected Waterfront District, all ayes. Motion carried.”
As Plan Committee Chairman, K. Nelson spoke about feeling constantly reactive over the past ten
(10) years and believing the Protected Waterfront District was so critical that a timeout was needed
to properly review and revise the ordinance.
Hoyerman, as both a Board and Plan Committee member, agreed with K. Nelson's assessment while
noting he would like to see a sunset provision or time frame to provide confidence to developers and
5
property owners that this wouldn't be permanent. He suggested a deadline would help provide
motivation for completion.
T. Nelson agreed with the time frame concept but observed that people would continue submitting
concepts outside the ordinance language regardless of revisions.
K. Nelson committed to the Plan Committee meeting twice monthly for working sessions if needed,
suggesting six (6) meetings over three (3) months should be sufficient to complete revisions. This
timeline would start after the May Village Board meeting, if approved, with a proposal back to the
Village Board by August.
Meacham asked if the Plan Committee would work to make the new ordinance clearer and more
definitive.
K. Nelson confirmed this goal, noting the need for better definitions of terms like "footprint" and
distinctions between living space, garages, and sheds.
Mulliken suggested approaching the new village attorney about reviewing the ordinance or
providing available language.
Bartelt, speaking as a Plan Committee member, supported the proposal but questioned whether a
time limit was intentionally omitted.
K. Nelson explained the attorney saw no need for time limits with this approach, but acknowledged
Hoyerman's point about fairness. He committed to a three-month Plan Committee timeline with a
proposal to the board by August.
Bristol clarified this would only remove the Conditional Use option for additions, modifications, or
teardown rebuilds, while maintenance, window replacement, siding changes, and other normal
improvements would continue under regular processes, including Historic Preservation Committee
Design Review.
Bartelt suggested the time limit question could be addressed at the public hearing or through a
motion amendment when actually passing the ordinance.
Bristol suggested a secondary motion to reinsert old language if no plan committee proposal
materialized by the deadline.
John Cox stated that he found the approach "gimmicky" and questioned eliminating ordinance
language temporarily rather than simply working harder on revisions. He planned to comment at the
public hearing.
Marsha Ellis from the Historic Preservation Committee asked about enforcement avenues and legal
ramifications for homeowners with existing plans.
Bristol confirmed no complete, formal applications had been submitted. Those who attended Plan
Committee meetings were aware of potential changes, and they had until the ordinance change to
submit applications under current rules.
K. Nelson explained enforcement would simply involve not issuing building permits for eliminated
project types.
T. Nelson moved, Meacham seconded to set for public hearing on May 12, 2026, Chapter
§17.20 of the Ephraim Code of Ordinances as it relates to the Protected Waterfront District,
all ayes. Motion carried.
9. Physical Facilities:
a. Discussion and consideration regarding the establishment of 2026 Pickleball fees:
Meacham reported the Physical Facilities Committee had met with the Door County Pickleball Club
and reached an agreement on an annual fee structure. The first-year fee would be three hundred
dollars ($300), guaranteeing court time seven days a week from 12:00 to 3:00 PM. After discussions
6
with the administrative staff about tennis usage primarily occurring in the mornings, this timeframe
worked well. After the first year, the annual fee would be five hundred dollars ($500). The lower
first-year fee helped offset the club's investment in court striping and equipment.
Hoyerman asked whether this was a multi-year agreement or required annual reapplication.
Meacham indicated they would address this on a year-to-year basis.
Bristol confirmed this would become part of the annual fee schedule review process each November.
The arrangement would stripe the westernmost court for pickleball while maintaining tennis
availability on the second court, even during pickleball times.
Meacham moved, Hoyerman seconded to establish an agreement for annual fees with the Door
County Pickleball Club with a first-year fee of three hundred dollars ($300) and five hundred
dollars ($500) for each subsequent year for access to the westernmost tennis court, seven (7)
days a week from 12:00 PM to 3:00 PM, all ayes with T. Nelson abstaining. Motion carried.
10. Wastewater:
a. Discussion and consideration regarding WWTF and Receiving Station Roof Repair:
Rasmussen explained that the main treatment plant roof, redone in 2008, was holding up fairly well
but required approximately four thousand three hundred fifty dollars ($4,350) in repairs following
last year's inspection. The receiving station building had its original roof with seams split around the
entire perimeter, causing water to run down all four interior walls during the recent snow melt.
Regardless of other project plans, Rasmussen recommended addressing the receiving station roof
sooner rather than later. Work would occur within the next couple of weeks, pending approval,
funded from the replacement fund.
A discussion was held regarding the roof repairs at the Wastewater Treatment Facility. Mulliken
noted the proposal included an additional two hundred and fifty dollars ($250) for remedial work
and questioned why this wasn't included. After discussion, K. Nelson suggested approving four
thousand six hundred dollars ($4,600) total to include the remedial work. Mulliken confirmed the
replacement fund balance was approximately six hundred seventy thousand dollars ($670,000) with
Rasmusson and verified this work wasn't included in other WW Facility Plan Proposals. Bristol
requested treating these as separate motions for the two (2) different projects.
Mulliken moved, Hoyerman seconded to approve the Wastewater Treatment Facility roof
repair at a cost not to exceed four thousand six hundred dollars ($4,600), funded by the
Wastewater Replacement Fund, all ayes. Motion carried.
Mulliken moved, Meacham seconded to approve the Wastewater Treatment Facility Receiving
Station roof repair at a cost not to exceed twenty-two thousand five hundred thirty dollars
($22,530), funded by the Wastewater Replacement Fund, all ayes. Motion carried.
b. Discussion and update regarding WW project:
K. Nelson outlined three (3) tasks discussed at the previous meeting. First, he worked with Bristol
and auditor Drewieske to create a spreadsheet examining options for delaying the project three (3) to
five (5) years while exploring different funding approaches rather than facing an immediate $11
million impact and dramatic rate increases. This spreadsheet was in development.
Second, Rasmusson, Oakley, and Kappell were working on value engineering to ensure the project
included only needs rather than wants while maintaining all necessary components. Third, the
analysis of REUs was being worked on.
Bristol added that Roberts was establishing the foundational structure for an REU system, which
involved considerable work. The goal was for her to hand off this foundation to the Wastewater
Committee for modifications, ultimately enabling her to send invoices and collect payments through
the system without requiring as much hands-on involvement.
K. Nelson noted this had been a long-awaited, difficult process aimed at creating a fairer system that
7
could be clearly explained to residents. He mentioned Kappell's observation that pursuing a 2027
construction timeline would require action on his proposal that night due to Phase 2 design
requirements and application deadlines. The discussion centered on whether this timeline was
reasonable, considering both the possibility of loan forgiveness in 2027 and the challenge of
determining funding approaches.
Mulliken asked about combining phases to maximize loan forgiveness potential rather than pursuing
separate phase applications. Nelson confirmed this approach, noting it would provide the maximum
possible forgiveness rather than double benefits.
Kappell explained that keeping phases separated now faced uncertainty about principal forgiveness
availability after the state fiscal year 2027 funding cycle, when the bipartisan infrastructure law
money would be exhausted. The DNR had no predictions about future principal forgiveness
offerings.
However, Mulliken's suggestion of reapplying for Phase 1 in 2027 was possible, which could
maximize principal forgiveness if successful, while giving more time to address funding challenges.
Bristol found this interesting, noting that going with two phases in 2027 wouldn't increase their
score, likelihood of approval, or forgiveness amount. While the Clean Water Fund would continue
beyond 2027, rates and principal forgiveness availability remained uncertain.
Kappell acknowledged he would be speculating about when future funding decisions might be
known, as these depended on federal government implementation and state distribution.
K. Nelson suggested this approach would allow repackaging what they submitted, noting they
couldn't include Phase 2 elements without a completed final design as required by the state.
Mulliken recognized this would involve another two hundred thirty-six thousand dollars ($236,000)
expenditure for engineering of Phase 2 and questioned whether this made sense given that their
previous application didn't receive funding due to money running out rather than proposal
deficiencies.
Rasmussen noted the importance of considering construction management costs, as splitting into two
(2) phases would cost significantly more than completing the project in one (1) year versus two (2).
K. Nelson acknowledged this reality, noting construction engineering costs alone could add a couple
of hundred thousand dollars for extended timelines.
T. Nelson questioned the impact on sewer rates, with others confirming very significant increases of
100 percent or more.
McMurtry noted that traditionally, capital improvements had been funded through M&L fees on the
property taxes rather than sewer rates, though this could be changed by ordinance.
T. Nelson reflected on their rationale from the previous month for delaying, questioning why they
would pursue immediate action given the rate increase concerns. He expressed skepticism about
qualifying for principal forgiveness upon resubmission and discomfort with imposing 100+ percent
sewer rate increases without compelling reasons beyond speculation about potential forgiveness.
Kappell confirmed that withdrawing from the 2026 funding cycle wouldn't negatively impact future
applications, as the project was already scored and eligible for 2027 funding.
Meacham stated he wouldn't vote for anything causing such dramatic rate increases and preferred
delaying 3-5 years to put "the horse in front of the cart" rather than the reverse.
K. Nelson asked Kappell about the feasibility of submitting applications and declining funding if
principal forgiveness wasn't received, then returning in 3-5 years.
Kappell confirmed this was common practice that wouldn't negatively affect the DNR's opinion of
the municipality.
8
K. Nelson noted they would need to decide on resubmission by September 30, 2026, providing time
to complete the three (3) tasks.
Hoyerman emphasized that too many variables existed, including the REU system revision and the
need to save money for future projects to avoid putting another board in similar positions. He felt
they lacked sufficient real numbers to present to the public.
K. Nelson agreed they should continue working on the three (3) outlined tasks - funding analysis,
public engagement, and determining appropriate delay timelines - with a decision point in
September about potential resubmission.
Mulliken suggested ensuring any resubmitted Phase 1 represented a "needs only" proposal rather
than including unnecessary elements.
The consensus emerged to continue analysis work and public engagement while maintaining the
September deadline option for potential resubmission.
c. Discussion and consideration regarding McMahon engineering Proposal for Phase 2:
Given the previous discussion outcomes, K. Nelson noted they wouldn't act on Kappell’s contract
proposal for Phase 2 that night, deferring it to a future board meeting.
Mulliken moved, Hoyerman seconded to take no action on the McMahon engineering Proposal
for Phase 2 of the Wastewater Project, all ayes. Motion carried.
d. Discussion regarding WW Solar Project:
Bristol discussed pursuing solar as an independent project, separate from the treatment plant phases,
following recommendations from the Wastewater and Green Tier Committees. Eland Electric,
familiar with local solar installations, indicated continued eligibility for grants covering roughly a
third of project costs if completed by the end of 2027.
A discussion was held regarding the Wastewater Solar Project. B. Nelson noted that this allowed
more flexibility than the earlier July 1 start date, with a decision needed by March 2027 for adequate
preparatory time. Mulliken noted compatibility with the current plant and potential funding from a
two-hundred-fifty-thousand-dollar ($250,000) Energy Innovation Grant with a June 30 deadline.
Understanding grant timelines is crucial. B. Nelson underlined cost savings, highlighting reduced
electric bills and a fourteen-and-a-half (14.5) year payback based on utility rate assumptions. The
system suits Ephraim’s sunny land and aligns with power needs during high tourist seasons. Twenty-
five (25) year solar panel warranties add investment security. Bristol and B. Nelson discussed grant
eligibility requiring tax return filings, and competitive bidding for contracts over twenty-five
thousand dollars ($25,000) was needed. K. Nelson summarized that the Board needed to figure out
funding and that it was reasonable to make a decision six (6) to eight (8) months from now.
11. Committee Minutes for review: There were no comments.
12. New Business for the Next Meeting:
a. Village Emergency Operations Plan

The Renewal Alcohol Beverage License Applications are attached to your packet for your
consideration. All of the businesses still need proof of a recently passed fire inspection and health
inspection. The approval should be contingent upon a passed fire inspection and health
inspection.
Ephraim Business Council (EBC) and Ephraim Fire-Rescue Association (EFRA) applied for a
Temporary Class "B" License. They would like to be able to sell fermented malt beverages at the 61st
FYR Bal Festival on Saturday, June 20, 2026. Both applications are complete and attached to your
packet for your consideration.
I have taken minutes for HPC, Plan, and Wastewater Committee, and entered invoices for payment. I
have also reconciled cash, made deposits, processed payroll, and all the necessary government
reports.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Andrea Collak - Clerk/Treasurer

Manager OIC Report
EFF samples sent to Northern Lake Services for ammonia testing:
Ph testing: Five times per week as required.
TSS, BOD, Po4, labs with lab cleanup: Twice per week as required.
Eff E-coli test, this must be done May-October once per week while running disinfection.
• Installed UV system and start up without any issues.
• Set up trash pump at lift 1 in preparation for possible back ups due to high flows during
rain and snow melting. Glad to say we didn’t need to use it. We did have 345,000 gallons
flow through the plant within a 24 hr period.
• Spent several days looking for sources of infiltration. We were lucky to have Great Lakes
TV & Seal on-site for two days with their camera truck. We found 5 leaking manholes, 4
have been repaired already, 1 sump pump connected to the sewer which has been shut off,
and about 6 cracked or broken laterals, I have been in contact with most of them and
repairs are in the process.
• We completed the sewer flushing and will be scheduling the lift stations cleaning.
• We sent out all the required effluent samples for our discharge permit renewal and will
hopefully finish the renewal process soon.
• We sent out our annual sludge characteristics test along with PFAS test required by
Sturgeon Bay for their permit renewal.

Subject: Re: Airport Commission Master Plan Option Selections
Hi Ken and Brent,
I will be referring to the options included in the TEC Presentation #2 covered on March 19th (attached)
b and I would request that the Board members have copies of that at the meeting. I can specify which
pages I will be covering if needed.
I am also looking for Justin's email address to directly invite the Ephraim Fire/Rescue group to our 80th
Anniversary celebration on June 6th. Can you provide that to me?
Thanks,
Jeff

Hi Jeff,
One of my concerns about land acquisition is the amount the BOA is willing to pay. In my
opinion, the previous properties the AP acquired were well above market value. Anyone
living around the AP knows this.
We have a big enough AP; let’s not consider any property acquisition. To evaluate future
hangers (I believe we will have 8 more locations available now with recent property
acquisition) based on future internal AP operations makes no sense to me. Let’s fill up
what we have before we start buying property for the potential future that may very well
never happen.
Thanks,
Ken

Hi Ken,
I will be back to meet with the Board on May 12th.
Regarding your questions,
1. A full-length taxiway is a significant safety improvement to eliminate
the need to back-taxi aircraft before they take off. Our run-up areas are
small and the distance between aircraft there and landing aircraft is an
additional hazard. The Commission feels this is an important addition
while we are "doing it right" for this major rebuild.
2. The Commission wishes to change runway 1/19 to 18/36 and maintain
it as a turf runway. That also helps reduce the distance needed to land in
case of an emergency landing for larger aircraft as well - grass slows you
down faster.
4. The Commission chose creating new hangars on existing property as
our first choice. However, this will likely be more expensive overall than
acquiring the property immediately to the north of the existing hangars
due to the need to create access roads and bring in power, in addition to
significantly more clearing/excavation. The Commission has previously
discussed this with our BoA representatives and they told us that the FAA
considers all options and may decide to fund the less expensive option
overall. We will reopen that discussion, and the impact on local tax
revenue will be included in that discussion. As mentioned previously, the
Commission is unanimously against acquiring additional property unless
the owner wishes to sell.
Sincerely,
Jeff

Good Morning Jeff,
4
Thank you for sharing the AP Commission feedback on the presentation
by the DOA. I would like to clarify that the two people who attended the
presentation from Ephraim represented our village Board and Plan
Committee.
Before you reply to the DOA with the Commissioners comments, I would
like you to present this report to the Ephraim Village Board to get their
input. I will work with Brent to get you on our May agenda (May 12). Will
you be back in town?
Based on my observations I have a few comments I’d like you to
consider:
1. Rebuild of RW 14/32. Is the parallel TW a need or a want? I understand
the short extension of the RW from a safety perspective, but is a parallel
TW necessary?
2. Rebuild of RW 1/19. Please confirm this will remain a turf RW.
4. d. Future hanger development. I expressed concern at the meeting
with the idea of buying property for hanger expansion. There are options
that allow for extensive hanger development (more than could
conceivably be needed in the next 20 years) on existing AP property. Gary
Glopjek voiced agreement with my comment and stated we have
adequate existing property for hanger expansion. This potential
acquisition would take a significant property off the tax roll (in addition a
significant acquisition cost).
I look forward to your presentation to our VB.
Thanks,
Ken

Ephraim-Gibraltar Airport Commission
Airport Master Plan Feedback on Future Development Options
May 1, 2026
On Thursday, March 19, 2026, a Technical Advisory Committee meeting was held by TKDA,
contracted by the WI Bureau of Aeronautics (BoA) to develop the Airport Master Plan for
this Airport. In attendance were all members of the Ephraim-Gibraltar Airport Commission,
representatives from the WI BoA and Westwood Engineering (responsible for development
of plans based on the AMP). Members of the Ephraim Village Board also attended.
Various options were presented on the 1) rebuild of runway 14/32, 2) rebuild of runway
1/19, 3) current hangar development area, and 4) future hangar development. Feedback
on each area of development are presented below:
1. Rebuild of runway 14/32
a. Based on the fact that this runway is the shortest runway of this Class in the
State of Wisconsin with extensions noted in two prior Airport Layout Plans,
there were four options were presented with runway lengths of 3,000 – 3,400
feet, representing a 300-700 foot extension of the existing runway.
b. The Commission unanimously supported Alternative D with a 3,000-foot
runway, with an additional request to extend the parallel taxiway to the full
length of the runway to eliminate the need to back-taxi and thereby reduce
risk / increase safety for ground operations.
i. This option minimized conflicts with the Runway Protection Zones
(RPZs) on both end of the runway and limited such zones to the
physical limitations of WI State Highway 42 and Maple Grove Road.
2. Rebuild of runway 1/19
a. Two options were presented for improvement to the existing turf/alternate
runway: shift the existing runway by 250 feet to the South to eliminate any
safety area conflicts between the two runways, or shift the northern end by
250 feet AND rotate the runway by 10 degrees for a new 18/36 runway
orientation.
b. The Commission unanimously supported the second option as it almost
precisely matches the existing Airport property without RPZs extending over
private property. This option also slightly reduces the length of a future
taxiway connecting to future hangars planned on existing Airport property.
3. Current hangar development area
a. There were two options presented for the current hangar development area,
with the only difference being the placement of the apron for the five hangars
closest runway.
b. The Commission unanimously supported placement of the apron on the side
of the runway (Alternative A2), which provides a significant advantage for
snow removal/melting for these hangars and also decreases taxiway traffic
for this hangar area.
4. Future hangar development
a. Two basic options were presented for areas of future hangar development:
continuation of hangar development to the north of the existing hangars
along Maple Grove Road (Alternative B), or development of a new area to the
west of runway 14/32 and south of runway 1/19 (Alternatives C and D).
b. A version of Alternative B has been noted on the prior Airport Layout Plan
prepared in 2012, with a new net total of 30 hangars in this area. This option
depends on acquisition of 9 acres of new property currently privately owned.
c. The second option represents a revision from the 1992 and 2012 Airport
Layout Plans, now moving the hangars away from the runway and the existing
weather reporting station, and also orienting the hangars to maximize sun
exposure for snow removal/melting. This area is within the current Airport
property and does not require any additional property to be acquired.
i. This option will require the creation of a new landside access road
and electrical power from Highway A, as well as the creation of new
taxiways to connect to runway 14/32 and eventually to runway 18/36.
ii. Two versions were presented: Alternative C with 30 hangars and a
taxiway only to Runway 14/32, and Alternative D with 32 hangars and
taxiways to both Runway 14/32 and 18/36.
d. The Commission has come to the following plan:
i. IF the owner of the existing property immediately to the north of the
existing hangars is willing to sell the property between now and when
demand exists for additional hangars, the Commission supports
development of this area (Alternative D) due to the significant savings
and efficiencies of extending the current layout without the need for
new access roads, new taxiways and long underground power lines.
ii. If the current property owner is NOT interested in selling, the
Commission supports Alternative D on existing Airport property.
iii. The Commission will request a ballpark estimate of the costs for
development of both areas for future development decisions.
Conclusion
The Ephraim-Gibraltar Airport is required by FAA and the WI BoA to have an Airport Master
Plan which has been developed using all available and practical options considered to
“operate the airport in a safe and serviceable condition and in accordance with the
minimum standards” (Federal Grant Assurance #19, WI DoT Chapter Trans 55.06(2).
Working with expert consultants and the WI BoA, the Commission has selected the options
that best serve the needs of the Airport and community by maximizing the potential of the
existing Airport property with minimal impact on neighboring properties and owners. The
Airport Master Plan includes all foreseeable new development projects for the Ephraim-
Gibraltar Airport for the next 20+ years, with the caveat that the existing facilities will
require active maintenance and upkeep until the runways or other facilities again require
renewal or rebuilding (against the background of the current runway lasting over 50 years).
Administration Building Project
Overview & Options
Carly, Ken & Brent
5/12/2026
Problems:
Deferred maintenance and an old building coupled with operational changes in the administration
department over time have resulted in the following challenges and issues with the current administrative
building:
• A flat roof, lack of proper insulation, and leaks within the building not only have resulted in its
physical and esthetic degradation but also pose a risk relative to air quality and record retention.
• The offices do not have proper, or in some cases any, HVAC within. One office does not have an
openable window.
• Lack of conditioned space in the lower level severely limits our long-term storage ability.
• On one hand, relocation of meetings to the Village Hall was positive as it has removed the disruption
that previously occurred with meetings held at the admin office. However, despite having a very
expensive and quality AV system in the Hall, it is not without its bugs. Whoever is reading this has
probably experienced an AV failure or disruption along the way. These disruptions, while not regular,
are occurring, and they are occurring even with regular trouble shooting and testing by Brent. The
normal process is a dry run of the equipment before each HPC/Plan Meeting, each Board meeting,
and before committee meeting week at the first of each month. On average, although Brent is
spending 4-5 hours each month checking, trouble shooting and fixing connectivity issues, issues still
occur.
• Additionally, the time required to set up and break down the Village Hall for meetings is something
that falls on a busy maintenance department.
Project Goals:
• Provide safe and effective work environment for Admin Staff
• Provide adequate storage for Admin operations and record retention
• Find a solution that can permit us to move meetings back to the Admin Office while hopefully
minimizing meeting disruption to the operation of the office
• Allow the Fire Department to use new space for classroom training, possibly freeing up their existing
training room for other purposes
Option Breakdown
Option 0: (Partial renovation)
Pro:
• Addresses the deferred maintenance issues within the current building.
• HVAC added to the two rear offices and basement
• Conditioned basement allows for additional storage
• New roof on building
• New insulation on exterior walls and roof of building
Con:
• No alterations within the office building
• No relocation of meetings from Village Hall
• No room for any growth
• No accessibility improvements
• Not intended as a long-term solution
Option 1: (Full renovation of existing structure)
Pro:
• Can possibly move smaller committee meetings back to Admin Building
• Conditioned basement allows for additional storage
• Options for minor reconfiguring of office layout within the existing building envelope
• Some modernization of facility to better support current and future needs
• Better accessibility with the addition of exterior ramp
• HVAC added to the two existing rear offices and basement
Con:
• 1 office still has no openable window
• Still requires the use of Village Hall for HPC/Plan and Village Board Mtgs.
• Meetings held in office are still somewhat disruptive to office operations as the flow and access is
not ideal
• AV system while new would likely still have to be broken down from time to time and cannot likely
be hard wired. This increases the likelihood of failure, disruption and maintenance.
Option 2: (Small addition)
Pro:
• All village meetings, minus the largest public hearings, can move back to Admin bldg.
• Board/Committee member table and AV systems can be permanent/hard wired
• Conditioned basement allows for additional storage
• Small addition allows for a more significant reconfiguring of the office/meeting room layout for
more separation and better flow. Offices can all be new construction designed based on needs
with new HVAC equipment and openable windows.
• Modernizes facility to better support current and future needs
• Accessible ramp is completely enclosed
• Addition only impacts the portion of the building that was previously an addition. Original
aesthetics retained
• Room for Fire Department classroom training
Con:
• Looking at the long term this plan likely limits office staffing to 3 full-time employees. Current staff
does not see the need for a 4th full-time staff member on the horizon. Space can be found for part-
time employees, limited-term employees or interns if need be
Option 3: (Large addition)
Pro:
• All village meetings can move back to Admin bldg.
• Board/Committee member table and AV systems can be permanent/hard wired
• Conditioned basement allows for additional storage
• Large addition would completely separate the admin office from the meeting room so no
disruption would occur
• Completely modern office housed in a brand-new office addition.
• Better accessibility
• Enough space to guarantee that the addition would satisfy the needs of the admin department for
the foreseeable future.
• Accessible ramp is completely enclosed.
Con:
• Cost
• Separation is a con on election day as the offices of Andrea and Kim would be removed from the
operation and out of earshot.
• Significant change to the look of the building, additional bulk
Option 4: (New building)
Pro:
• Ground up purpose built new construction that will be a long-term solution without the need to
utilize a portion of the existing building.
Con:
• Plan results in either the demolition of the existing Admin building or the relocating of the facility to
a new location. The latter option would still require us to incur the costs of deferred maintenance
in Option 0
• If built in the same location, we would lose a historic building
• If built on the same site but in a different location, would require new utility connections, parking
lot, driveways, etc
• Cost

Planners | Architects | Builders
Offices in Fox Cities, Madison,
Milwaukee, & Wausau Option 0: Deferred Maintenance
Budget: $600,000 with $50,000 contingency
The project scope is limited to targeted deferred maintenance, including the addition of HVAC to two enclosed
office spaces (currently not code compliant), improvements to building insulation / exterior envelope,
conditioned HVAC basement, and full roof replacement. The work does not include building expansion,
reconfiguration, or full system replacement beyond these defined areas, and is intended to address specific
performance deficiencies rather than a long term solution.
Option 1: Remodel Existing (Existing 2,172 sq. ft.)
Budget: $1,300,000 with $100,000 contingency Timeline: 5 months construction
A comprehensive renovation of the existing 2,172 square foot facility to improve functionality, code compliance,
and overall building performance. Work would involve reconfiguration of interior spaces, upgrades to
mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems, and improvements to the building envelope as needed. This
approach maintains the existing structure while modernizing the facility to better support current and future
operational needs.
Option 2.0: Remodel & Addition Total: 2,990 (Existing 2,172 sq. ft. & 818 sq. ft. New)
Budget: $1,800,000 with $100,000 contingency Timeline: 6 months construction
This option includes renovation of the existing 2,172 square foot facility combined with an 818 square foot
addition to allow internal ramps (rather than external). This option improves on ‘option 2’ in allowing a safer
solution with lower long-term maintenance costs. Work includes integration of new and existing systems, interior
reconfiguration, and upgrades to building systems and envelope as required to support the addition.
Option 3: Remodel & Addition Total: 4,178 sq. ft. (Existing 2,172 sq. ft. & 2,006 sq. ft New)
Budget: $2,300,000 with $100,000 contingency Timeline: 7 months construction
This option includes renovation of the existing 2,172 square foot facility combined with a 2,006 square foot
addition to expand overall building capacity. The project would address deficiencies within the existing structure
while providing new, purpose-built space to support operational needs. Work includes integration of new and
existing systems, improved layout and circulation, and targeted upgrades to the existing building to align with the
addition.
Option 4: New Facility (New 3,500 sq. ft.)
Budget: $2,000,000 with $100,000 contingency Timeline: 8 months construction
This option includes construction of a new 3,500 square foot facility, replacing the existing building entirely. The
new facility would be designed to meet current operational requirements, building codes, and energy
performance standards. Important to note this does not include land cost. This approach eliminates constraints
associated with the existing structure and allows for a fully optimized layout, modern systems, and long-term
durability with reduced maintenance needs.

• So far, for 2026, there is only one rental that has generated income.
• The other 29 rentals that are on the Village Hall Rental schedule as of 5/6/2026 will incur no
fees for the rental of the Village Hall.
• For each of the rentals, there is a loaded labor rate cost of breaking down the hall and then
setting it up again for Village meeting use. It takes about an hour at a loaded labor rate of
$84.73.
• Therefore, for the 29 non-profit rentals on the schedule for 2026, it will cost the Village
$2,457.17 to set up and break down the Village Hall for their use.
o In sum, there has been one paid rental (resident rate of $160) so far for 2026.
o There is also only one outside the Village non-profit Village rental (MS WALK).
o We have one request from a non-village, non-profit that has never rented the hall to use
the hall at no cost in July.
• Attachment – Village of Sister Bay Non-Profit Rental Policy.

Facility Rental Fees for Nonprofit Organizations Policy
Adopting Body: Parks, Property and Streets Committee
Adoption Date: April 6th, 2026
Effective Date: April 7th, 2026
Revisions: N/A
Purpose: To establish a consistent, fair, and administratively simple fee structure for nonprofit
organizations using Village facilities, while supporting cost recovery and equitable access.
Scope: This policy applies to all Village-owned reservable facilities listed in the published Facility
Fee Schedule and on facility rental forms.
Definitions:
Page 2
Direct Use Requirement: Facility use under this policy must be for the nonprofit organization
itself. Facilities may not be reserved, used, or sub -licensed by third parties, individuals, or
groups claiming affiliation
with the nonprofit organization unless the nonprofit is the direct
organizer, host, and beneficiary of the event. This requirement is intended to ensure that
facility rental benefits are used only by legitimate nonprofit organizations and only for their
own activities.
Verification: Village Staff will review the NPO's submitted documentation and determine
whether the eligibility criteria are met.
1. If the eligibility criteria are determined to be met, Village Staff will proceed with
processing the facility rental in accordance with the policy.
2. Village Staff may request additional information from the NPO if the submitted
documentation is unclear .
3. If the eligibility criteria are not met, Village Staff will inform the NPO of the determination
in writing and list the eligibility criteria(s) that were not met.
Appeal of Determination: If the Village Staff determines that the NPO does not meet the criteria
and the determination has been issued in writing, the NPO may appeal the determination, in

Re: Village Hall Air Conditioning
Board of Trustees,
The Village Hall currently has 3 main air conditioning units that service the hall, kitchen and
bathroom areas, and the library has its own air conditioning not connected to these units. Since
the last inspection 2 of the units have failed, leaving 1 to cool the entire building, 1 the
compressor is bad and the other out of freon from either a leak or failure, these units have been
in service for over 15 years, with annual service done to them.
I have obtained 2 quotes for replacement of the air conditioning units:
1. Wulf Brothers for a cost of $69,995.00
2. AM Mechanical and Refrigeration Inc for a cost of $52,650.00.
It would be my recommendation to accept the quote from AM Mechanical and Refrigeration
Inc for a cost not to exceed $53,000.00 with the cost to come out of the Capital Reserve
Account for Village Hall Mechanical.
Thank You

Re: German Road Brush/Yard Waste Dump Update
Village Board of Trustees,
The Brush/Yard Waste Dump has reopened on German Road; the contractor completed the
work the middle of last week. You will see several changes to the use of the area; they are as
follows:
1. You will not be dumping in the same spot as you did before, it will be further back on the
property, please follow the yellow arrows to the new dump site.
2. Brush and Limbs will be situated on the very southeast corner of the new dump area, a big
yellow sign is in place showing where it should be dumped.
3. Yard Waste will be situated on the southwest corner of new dump area; a new sign is ordered
and will be placed once it is here.
For future disposal it is my recommendation to tub grind the brush annually, if we keep the
brush to the southeast side all tub grindings could then be placed on the northside of the dump
area for people to pick up. For tub grinding we will need to add additional money into the
budget unknown amount at this time but will have better numbers for budget time. By tub
grinding we will continue to have a place to put brush and not need to add additional area. The
other option is to have the brush hauled out by a contactor at an unknown cost.
Thank You

Canada Goose Damage Management
Summary of next steps per:
Mike Jones, Wildlife Biologist/Certified Wildlife Biologist
Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service
I will send an email out next week about goose round-up costs, procedures, timeframes,
and the DNR permit needed to be completed. I will need to know by June 2 or 3rd at the
latest if you have enough birds and want a goose round-up. Since you are farther away
from our office and might potentially have many birds, I quoted you a cost of $4,000 over
the winter. We charge $3,500 for the majority of sites that are closer to our office and have
fewer birds so you might see that price quoted in the email. We might be able to lower the
price if we capture at both Ephraim and Fish Creek but won’t know that for sure until we get
much closer.
We would need at least 45-50 birds to come all the way to Ephraim. If you want to let me
know by June 2 that you tentatively want us to come, I can put a place holder on a date for
you and you could decide to withdraw at your June 9
th meeting. Since I have to have to put
the schedule together by June 5th, I need to know, at least initially if you are interested. It is
easier to remove a location from the our schedule rather than have you want to get added
after the schedule has been set since there are so many locations we have to coordinate
the removals.
Thanks,
Mike

VILLAGE BOARD MEETING MINUTES
TUESDAY, MARCH 10, 2026 – 7:00 P.M.
9996 WATER STREET- EPHRAIM VILLAGE HALL
Action Items:
5. Administration:
a. Presentation from Mike Jones from USDA Wildlife Services regarding Canada Goose Damage
Management:
Mike Jones from the US Department of Agriculture Wildlife Services presented information about
Canada Goose damage management options. He explained that his agency specializes
in nuisance
wildlife ma
nagement. They are a federal agency that handles all goose issues in Wisconsin because
geese are federally protected birds.
Jones reviewed basic
goose biology. He described two distinct populations of geese in Wisconsin:
Spring migrants that move through the area without causing significant problems, and resident birds
that stay year-round and cause most issues. He noted that resident geese live up to twenty years, are
highly productive with about five surviving offspring per clutch, and are very adaptable to living near
humans. These birds tend to return to where they learned to fly year after year. The resident birds
don’t go very far south anymore, most going to open water and seeking out warehouse rooftops in
Chicago to feed at the railyards.
He explained that geese have few natural predators, with most being egg predators, which does not
control the population much. The DNR h
as two hunting seasons designed for different populations.
The early season, from September 1-15, targets resident birds with a 5-bird daily limit . Traditional
goose season, which targets migrant birds (late September – December), has
a long season with a
lower bag limit for migrant birds to control harvest impacts.
Jones detailed
the main problems caused by geese, particularly the 1-2 pounds of feces each bird
produces daily. He showed examples of parks requiring daily power washing and communities
budgeting $10,000 annually for daily feces removal from beaches. He also mentioned that geese can
be aggressive during nesting season and harbor parasites, causing swimmer's itch, with high E. coli
levels in their feces posing health risks.
The presentation co
vered abatement management options, including a no feeding ordinance, habitat
modification allowing the shoreline to grow up, exclusion methods such as fences and overhead
grids, harassment techniques, pyrotechnics, repellents, and trained dogs. Jones noted that most of
these methods provide only short-term ef
fectiveness as geese adapt quickly.
For population management, Jones explained three methods: hunting seasons, nest and egg
destruction through oiling, and roundup and removal during the flightless molting period. He detailed
the egg oiling process, which prevents oxygen transfer across egg membranes, typically around April
15th in Wisconsin. The challenge
is finding the nests. Oiling requires a Wisconsin Depar tment of
Natural Resources
(DNR) permit and registration with the US Fish and Wildlife Service.
Jones discussed management authority. Population management authority approval ultimately rests
with the US Fish and Wildlife Service and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.
Population management
is a local decision that must be in accordance with Federal, State, and local
requirements.
Regarding roundup and removal, Jones explained that his agency requires
at least 35-40 birds at a
site and conducts operations during the 3-week flightless period from mid-June through early July.
The process involves using kayaks and boats to push geese onto land, then using panels to corral
3
them into crates. All captured birds must be euthanized as the DNR doesn't allow relocation because
adult birds would fly back.
Jones discussed two options for the captured birds: Food pantry processing for adults (requiring
testing of 10% of the adults, with a minimum of five birds, for lead and mercury at about $250 per
sample) or disposal as animal food, though bird flu concerns have complicated the latter option
recently. He noted that there was another community within swimming distance contemplating a
round-up as well, and he had received approval to test 10% of the total geese from both
communities. The communities could split the cost.
He outlined the typical process: Communities contact him by June 1st with bird counts, his agency
schedules the roundup between June 15th and the end of June, and charges $4,000 for Door County
locations due to the distance from their Waupun office. Jones noted they typically catch 60-70 geese
per site and conduct 20-30 roundups annually statewide. He stressed that they need written
permission from each landowner to catch geese on private property.
The effectiveness of roundups provides immediate relief and removes birds that return to the same
areas annually. Sites typically don't need repeat roundups for 3-7 years, with an average of 5 years
between treatments.
A discussion was held regarding the roundup. Mulliken inquired about potential partnerships with
other municipalities for cost-sharing and testing expenses. Hoyerman asked about demand for
processed goose meat, with Jones noting that only about 25% of sites opt for food pantry processing
due to additional costs. T. Nelson confirmed that all permitting goes through Jones rather than
requiring a separate DNR contact. K. Nelson asked about scheduling around Fyr Bal on June 20th,
and Jones confirmed they could accommodate working before that date. He also clarified the June
1st deadline for decision-making and explained that food pantry decisions could be made closer to
the actual roundup date.
MacDonald estimated seeing 30-40 geese in the morning. He provided an overview of the number of
staff hours dedicated to keeping sidewalks and grass clean around the shorefront throughout the
season.
Bristol noted that after previous board discussions about this topic, several parties had reached out in
support. He also confirmed that a local food pantry had expressed a strong interest in receiving
processed goose meat, as they have successful experience with salmon and venison programs.
Dennis Jewell, an Ephraim resident, spoke in favor of pursuing goose removal.
b. Discussion and consideration regarding implementation of Canada Goose Damage
Management for 2026:
Bristol noted that the Board had time to make a decision and suggested potentially gathering
information from neighboring municipalities while respecting privacy restrictions. He confirmed that
if another site had already completed testing, it could reduce testing requirements for Ephraim.
K. Nelson polled the board members for their interest in proceeding. Hoyerman supported
proceeding. T. Nelson was in favor. Mulliken noted that while not speaking officially for the
Community Protection Committee, the Committee had discussed the goose problem extensively and
tried various mitigation methods without permanent success. Meacham also supported proceeding.
K. Nelson agreed with the other four board members, establishing consensus to continue moving the
project forward. The Board agreed that they would make the final decision on whether to proceed
with the roundup at the May Village Board meeting.

2. Changes to the agenda: There were no changes.
3. Approval of the previous minutes:
Dukehart moved, Hart seconded to approve the minutes of January 28, 2026, all ayes. Motion
carried.
4. Visitors’ Comments: There were no visitors’ comments.
5. Discussion and recommendation of Village Emergency Plan:
A discussion was held regarding the revised Village Emergency Plan. The discussion stressed that the
plan is an internal guide for staff, emphasizing the importance of keeping the document updated with
current names and contact information for effective communication in emergencies. Additionally, the
discussion led to the possibility of drafting an external summary for public use, reinforcing the necessity
of calling 9-1-1 in genuine emergencies.
The Committee reached consensus on simplifying responsibility language for property owners in (C)(2),
agreeing to keep it concise by stating that all parcel owners are responsible for maintaining their private
property, thus avoiding any legal complexities. The same was decided for (C)(3).
It was noted that flexibility in the Public Information Officer's role should be maintained, recommending
an appointment by the Village President over a rigid assignment to the Village Administrator. The
Committee requested that all references to the Public Information Officer include “or designated
appointee”.
Additional discussions highlighted concerns about the chain of command. Cox highlighted that under
state statute, the Village Administrator has authority. Discussion included the Emergency Operations
Committee (Village Board), which, based on trustee seniority, would be next in line as Emergency
Management Director, if the Village President were unable to serve in the role. The organization flow
chart was also reviewed. It was proposed to revise the flowchart, moving the Village Administrator
below the Emergency Operations Director (Village President) into the second row of organizational
command, placing greater emphasis on the Village Administrator reporting directly to the Emergency
Operations Director. Spending authority during disasters was another point of consideration for
Department Directors, with the acknowledgment that it needs careful evaluation by the Village Board
due to varying opinions on appropriate limits in emergency scenarios.
On National Incident Management System (NIMS) training, the Committee recommended adding the
following language: “The Fire Chief and one other shall complete training under this program”.

Hart moved, Cox seconded to send the revised Emergency Operations Plan to the Village Board
for review with the understanding that it would stimulate further discussion and refinement at the
Board level, all ayes. Motion carried.
6. Discussion of general safety issues in the Village:

communication tower were discussed; location and legal questions are ongoing. The Committee agreed
that moving forward is vital to ensure adequate downtown communication coverage.
7. New business for the next meeting:
The next CPC meeting will be held on Wednesday, May 27, 2026, at 2:30 PM.

VILLAGE OF EPHRAIM PLAN COMMITTEE
WORKING SESSION MEETING MINUTES
TUESDAY, APRIL 28, 2026 - 12:00 PM
10005 NORWAY STREET – VILLAGE ADMINISTRATION BUILDING
Present: Andy Bartelt (online), Laird Hart (online), Grace Held, Rick Hoyerman, Monique McClean, BD Thorp –
Temporary Chair.
Absent: Ken Nelson.
Staff: Brent Bristol - Village Administrator and Kim Roberts - Deputy Clerk.
Guests: John Cox.
Call to Order: Bristol called the working session to order at 12:00 PM and requested that the Committee appoint
a temporary chair.
Held moved, Hoyerman seconded to appoint Thorp Temporary Chair, all ayes. Motion carried.
BUILDING HEIGHTS
The Committee conducted an extensive review of the proposed changes from the last working session regarding
building heights that applied to both §17.15(12) and §17.20(5).
The Committee spent considerable time discussing the exceptions and absolute limitation provision under section
§17.15(12)(b). The Committee determined the need to add further clarification to §17.15(12)(b) (new language in
bold), “Other rooftop accessories, which include but are not limited to, such as spires, belfries, parapet walls,
cupolas, domes, flues, vent pipes, chimneys, communication devices, and all other projections, are allowed to a
maximum of thirty-five feet (35’) from grade. Such architectural projections may exceed the thirty-five feet (35')
maximum by Planning Committee approval via special exception review. Under no circumstances shall any
projection and/or any accessory a structure exceed thirty-seven feet (37’) from grade.”
The Committee further determined to add additional clarifying language to §17.20(5)(b)(iv) (new language in
bold), “Other rooftop accessories, which include but are not limited to, such as spires, belfries, parapet walls,
cupolas, domes, flues, vent pipes, chimneys, communication devices, and all other projections are allowed to a
maximum of twenty-five feet (25’) from grade the approved peak roof line (maximum twenty three feet (23’) in
height as measured from the crown grade of State Highway 42.”
The Committee briefly discussed basement regulations, noting that walkout basements don't count against overall
square footage limits when they're open toward the rear property line. Bristol explained that properties could have
significant finished square footage through this mechanism. Discussion included the definition of living space and
whether basements should be included in calculations. The Committee noted that walkout basements provide an
easier path to becoming a living space due to egress requirements, but the Committee decided to postpone further
discussion until K. Nelson's return, as this appeared to be an item he had specifically highlighted for review.
SIGNS
The Committee discussed concerns about long, skinny banner signs versus traditional flags. Bristol explained that
K. Nelson’s issue was with elongated signs, preferring that businesses use standard 3x5 flags that say "open"
rather than the longer banner-style signs that were becoming more common. Held supported restricting to a 3x5
“open” flag rather than the long, skinny sign flags. Hoyerman questioned whether businesses typically use
standard sizes and expressed concern that restricting their ability to attract attention would be unfair to businesses.
The Committee acknowledged the need to balance aesthetic concerns with business visibility needs. MacClean
noted that businesses set back from the road, particularly on the north end, face visibility challenges. The
Committee discussed whether different standards might be appropriate for different zoning districts. Hoyerman
suggested consulting with the Ephraim Business Council before making final decisions, noting that businesses in
different districts of the Village may have different needs. The Committee agreed this would be helpful input
before dictating specific requirements.
2
PROTECTED WATERFRONT (PW) ORDINANCE
Bristol explained that another path had been advised by the Village Attorney without using a moratorium. The
path provides a vehicle to stop taking on major projects within the PW district, similar to what was used for the
Multi-Family Development process. He noted that all complete applications submitted before the pubic hearing
on May 12 would be heard under the current ordinance as written. All applications would be judged on the merit
of their adherence to the zoning code as written today.
The Committee discussed preparation for future working sessions once the approval to remove the sections was
obtained. Bristol suggested that Committee members individually develop short lists of problems and concerns
with the current Protected Waterfront Ordinance, including issues related to bulk, square footage, definitions, and
clarity. Thorp mentioned K. Nelson’s request for each member to identify three specific problems with the
Protected Waterfront Ordinance and recommend solutions. Bristol noted that problems could include issues with
definitions and clarity concerns, not just dimensional requirements, since all projects require conditional use
permits.
Bristol provided an overview of the action the Plan Committee had before them in relation to §17.20 – Protected
Waterfront Ordinance for the 7 PM meeting. The Committee would be approving the path that the Board, with the
assistance of the Village Attorney, identified for moving forward. They would be affirming the intent of the
mechanism to strike the language from the ordinance instead of using a moratorium.
The meeting adjourned at 12:44 PM.

3. Changes in Agenda: None
4. Visitors’ comments: None
5. Previous minutes: March 31, 2026
The approval of minutes was postponed to the next meeting, as Thorp-Chair, Russell, and Ellis
were not all present at the prior meeting and a sufficient number of attendees from that session
were unavailable to approve the minutes.
6. John & Victoria Cultra – 9887 Water St – New SFR – Conditional Use - Design Review
Bristol provided background on the Cultra application, noting this was a formal design review
hearing after previous concept reviews. The applicants had made revisions based on feedback
from both HPC and Plan Committee meetings. The Plan Committee determined that the proposed
garage would remain a separate structure despite a covered roof connection, as it didn't share
common walls or footprint, resulting in design modifications.
John Cultra introduced himself, explaining that he and his wife have owned the property since
January 2009 and have been visiting Ephraim since 1992. He described their family's connection
to the area and their desire to rebuild due to the current home's deteriorating condition, including
mold and water repulsion issues. Cultra emphasized their commitment to maintaining the historic
character while meeting their family's needs as they will transition to spending more time in
Ephraim.
Drew Willmann of DeLeers Construction presented revised renderings reflecting the feedback
received at prior meetings. Key figures noted were that the proposed conditioned space footprint
of 1,039 square feet represents a reduction of 3 square feet from the existing 1,042 square feet,
and the unconditioned garage footprint is reduced by 88 square feet, yielding an overall footprint
reduction of 95 square feet. Total conditioned square footage including the second floor is
approximately 1,922 square feet, compared to an estimated 1,650 square feet existing—an
increase of approximately 270–300 square feet.
Shreck expressed approval of the design direction, noting the simplification of roof lines
compared to previous iterations, though he had some concerns about mass and scale. Russell
agreed with Schreck's assessment, finding the design moving in the right direction despite still
being somewhat busy with rooflines.
Thorp raised concerns about the number of exterior lights, counting approximately 12 lanterns,
VILLAGE OF EPHRAIM
FOUNDED 1853
Historic Preservation Committee Meeting Minutes
Tuesday, April 28, 2026
Page 2 of 4
which he felt was excessive compared to neighboring properties. He referenced construction
guidelines about being "relatively unadorned" and suggested the lighting would make the
structure appear like "a Roman candle." Cultra agreed to work with the committee to reduce the
number of lights.
Additional discussions covered construction timing, with plans for an end of September 2026 start
and completion outside of peak tourist seasons. The committee addressed technical details
including chimney height compliance and roof pitch requirements.
Pentler expressed significant concerns about the design's complexity for a historic Ephraim home,
questioning the appropriateness of certain design elements including door colors, railings, and the
overall busy appearance. She advocated for simpler, more traditional design elements consistent
with Ephraim's historic character.
Pentler also raised a concern about the screened porch, noting that a permanent foundation
beneath it—combined with the full roofline—could set a precedent for future enclosure and
appeared to add visual mass. Russell countered that she preferred the unified roofline as it
simplified the overall form. The applicant explained that the porch is the family's most-used space
and that the permanent foundation is intended to replace deteriorating wooden stilts damaged by
prior high-water events, not to change the seasonal character of the space. Bristol confirmed that
the screened porch square footage was not counted as conditioned living space. The committee
noted that the proposed screened porch footprint is 4 square feet smaller than the existing
structure.
Cultra indicated that he would like to keep the existing blue color of the door. Schreck noted that
Iverson House has a blue door. Pentler suggested discussing the color before approval.
The committee discussed specific details including railing colors (which must be white per village
requirements), door colors (with some debate about blue doors), and the screen porch foundation
design.
Committee members also noted that landscaping plans had not yet been developed; the applicant
confirmed they are working with Meissner Landscaping and will submit a plan for review prior to
installation. The committee agreed this could be handled at a future meeting.
Thorp confirmed that the chimney height was compliant, with the contractor confirming a
roof/framing height of 23 feet or less and total chimney height well within the 25-foot limit.
The committee also noted that metal railings on the second-floor French door balcony, initially
listed as black or bronze, would be required to be white, which the contractor confirmed would be
amended.
Schreck moved, Russell seconded to recommend the approval of the Design Review for John
and Victoria Cultra at 9887 Water Street to the Plan Committee with the understanding
that the Village will work with the applicants to reduce the number of exterior lights,
Russell aye, Schreck, aye, Thorp aye, Pentler nay, and the motion passed 3 to 1.
7. Gregory Golterman – 9917 Water St – New SFR – Concept Review
Bristol explained that Gregory Goltermann could not attend but had submitted written materials
showing design revisions based on previous feedback. The significant change was finding a
contractor willing to salvage and repurpose the existing first floor structure rather than complete

demolition, addressing the committee's previous concerns about preserving and incorporating the
existing first floor structure into the new design—a priority the committee had expressed at the
previous meeting. A late-submitted elevation also reflected a return to hand-hewn dovetail siding
on the road-facing portion of the structure, consistent with the existing stone facade.
The committee members expressed enthusiasm for preserving the existing structure. Schreck was
particularly excited about maintaining the original building's historic fishing shack heritage.
Pentler praised the design for maintaining clean, straight lines with natural materials while
appearing consistent with the current structure's appearance.
Russell, who had missed the previous meeting, found no objections to the revised proposal. Thorp
agreed that Goltermann had done an excellent job incorporating the committee's feedback while
preserving the original character.
The committee reached consensus to support the concept review without requiring a formal vote.
8. Matt LaLonde – 9890 Water St. – Deck/Guard Rails – Design Review
Bristol presented the LaLonde application for deck and railing system replacement, showing
before and after visuals. The proposal involved replacing existing materials and eliminating first-
floor railings in favor of wraparound stairs, with new dark gray decking and white aluminum clad
railings.
Pentler found the design much cleaner and simpler, meeting all Village criteria, though she
suggested the door color should be gray rather than blue to maintain consistency. Russell
expressed strong approval with no objections, particularly appreciating the white railing choice.
Schreck had no issues with the proposal.
Thorp confirmed the railing material specifications and expressed general approval, while noting
Pentler’s concern about door color consistency with other blue doors in the area.
Russell moved, Schreck seconded to recommend the approval of the Design Review
application for Deck/Guard Rails to the Plan Committee for Matt LaLonde at 9890 Water
Street, all ayes and the motion carried.
9. Pine Grove Resort – 10080 Water St. – Design Review – Fence
Bristol presented a request from Pine Grove Resort for a fence along the waterside seawall area
adjacent to the gazebo and patio deck. The original proposal for a 4-foot black metal fence had
been revised to a 42-inch see-through metal fence in a bronze or walnut brown color, following the
Village guidance that see-through fences are limited to 42 inches in height under the village
ordinance.
The committee expressed significant skepticism about the proposal. No representative from Pine
Grove Resort was present to explain the purpose or need for the fence. Members questioned why
the fence was necessary, noting that the existing stone seawall and surrounding area had not
historically required fencing and that no incidents were known to have occurred there. Pentler
questioned the basis for the request and suggested that if any fencing were to be approved, natural
cedar or a split-rail wood fence would be more appropriate to the area's character. Russell echoed
Historic Preservation Committee Meeting Minutes
Tuesday, April 28, 2026
Page 4 of 4
this sentiment and stated she would like to understand the need before rendering judgment,
expressing a preference for a natural stone or cedar solution if fencing was truly required. Schreck
stated that even the bronze/brown metal, while an improvement over black, remained too close to
black in his view and that he could not support the proposal as presented.
Thorp noted that the committee wished to avoid setting a precedent for metal fencing along the
waterfront. He referenced photographs taken during a recent walk-through of the protected
waterfront district, noting that split-rail fencing appears in the southern portion of the Village,
including on committee member properties, and that the existing Pine Grove stone wall still
contains pipe anchors that once held a simple pipe railing—suggesting a more modest solution
would be appropriate.
Schreck moved, Pentler seconded to recommended approval of the Design Review
application for the Fence to the Plan Committee, Schreck nay, Russell nay, Thorp nay,
Pentler nay, and the motion failed with no members voting in favor.
10. New Business for the Next Meeting/Next Meeting Date: No new business was identified for the
next meeting. The next meeting date is Tuesday, May 26th, 2026.

4. Changes in Agenda: None
5. Visitors’ comments: None
6. John & Victoria Cultra – 9887 Water St – New SFR – Conditional Use – Design Review
Bristol provided background, noting that the Cultra project had previously undergone two concept
reviews before both the Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) and the Plan Committee. At the
prior meeting, the committee determined that the existing garage and existing home were two
independent buildings, and that the footprint of one could not be used to increase the footprint of the
other. The applicant's team, represented by contractor Drew Willmann of DeLeer's Construction,
returned with a revised design reflecting a reduced footprint relative to the existing home.
Bristol read into the record a piece of written correspondence from neighboring property owners Tom
and Kathleen Price at 8889 Water Street. The letter expressed concerns about the concentration of
mass on the second floor, the roofline complexity, and chimney placement, noting that the proposed
north side elevation "dwarfs the adjacent structure, resulting in a loss of visual harmony." The letter
expressed support for the project while asking the design team to consider these concerns.
Thorp summarized the HPC's recommendation, which was a 3-1 vote to approve, with conditions
including reduction of exterior lighting fixtures and concerns raised about waterside railings and
rooflines. The committee noted that the revised plans represented an improvement over prior
submission.
VILLAGE OF EPHRAIM
FOUNDED 1853
Plan Committee Meeting Minutes
Tuesday, April 28, 2026
Page 2 of 6
Committee discussion centered on several substantive concerns:
Roof Pitches and Complexity: Hoyerman expressed concern about the sheer number of rooflines
and their varying pitches. The architect confirmed that the shallowest pitch was a 3:12 saddle roof
used solely to shed water from an interior valley, with all other primary pitches at 4:12 or above.
Nelson noted that the ordinance permits pitches below 6:12 only for dormers, and that the screened
porch roof on the west elevation—at less than 6:12—could not be characterized as a dormer and
therefore did not comply. The architect acknowledged this could be raised to 6:12 but the intention
was to lower the mass. Nelson further suggested exploring whether the two shed dormers on the south
elevation could be combined into a single, simpler form to reduce visual complexity.
Exterior Lighting: Multiple committee members called for a significant reduction in exterior
lighting, consistent with Door County's dark sky principles. Nelson recommended that exterior
lighting be limited to fixtures at exterior doorways only.
Overall Design Simplicity: Held and McClean both expressed concern that the design remained too
"busy" and did not reflect the simple farmhouse character desired in Ephraim. McClean
acknowledged the progress made but indicated that the design could move further in that direction.
Hoyerman also expressed that the window grids and multiple rooflines contributed to a lack of
simplicity.
Bristol advised the committee on the applicable timeline, noting that the Village Board had set a
public hearing for May 12 on a proposed PW ordinance amendment. Any completed application
received prior to that date would still be heard under the current code at the May Plan Committee
meeting. This meant a narrow but viable window existed for the applicants to submit revised plans.
Hoyerman moved, to approve the New SFR, Conditional Use, Design Review application for
John and Victoria Cultra at 9887 Water Street as submitted, all nays, and the motion failed.
Following the vote, the committee provided the following consensus direction to the applicants for a
revised submission:
● The roof pitch over the screened porch must be raised to a minimum of 6:12 to comply with the
ordinance, as it does not qualify as a dormer.
● Exterior lighting should be reduced to fixtures at exterior door/entry locations only.
● The two shed dormers on the south elevation should be considered for elimination or
consolidation into a single form.
● All plans must be fully dimensioned, interior and exterior.
● Material and color samples should be provided at the next meeting.
● Roof pitch calculations should be provided demonstrating compliance with the 50% dormer rule.
Bristol clarified that a new submission would constitute a new conditional use hearing, requiring re-
notification of all properties within 300 feet. A separate landscape plan was not required for the May
submission, though hardscape and impervious surface values would eventually need to be addressed.
7. Gregory Golterman – 9917 Water St. – New SFR – Concept Review
Bristol explained that applicant Gregory Goltermann was unable to attend but submitted
documentation describing the evolution of the design concept. The primary development was a return
to Goltermann's original vision of retaining as much of the existing first-floor material—log
Plan Committee Meeting Minutes
Tuesday, April 28, 2026
Page 3 of 6
construction—as possible and building upward from that base rather than undertaking a full
teardown. The project remains entirely within the existing building footprint and complies with the
Village's 25-foot setback and 23-foot maximum roof height requirements. This is a concept review
discussion.
Thorp reported that the HPC reviewed the revised concept and expressed strong approval, praising
Goltermann's responsiveness to prior feedback and the overall simplified design. No formal vote was
taken at HPC, consistent with concept review status.
Committee members expressed support. Bartelt noted that while the multiple gables and rooflines
might seem complex, in this context they gave the building character rather than appearing
overwhelming. Nelson praised the decision to reuse original log materials, calling it a meaningful
contribution to the design, and asked that color samples and material documentation (grey and natural
field stone) be provided at the design review stage, given that the logs have been painted and their
original appearance would not be visible once removed. Nelson noted that he appreciated what the
applicant had done on the north wall (side elevation) which was a blank wall at the last meeting.
Nelson would like to see material and color samples at the next meeting.
As this was a concept review, no formal vote was taken. The committee indicated a clear path
forward to formal design review submission.
8. Matt LaLonde – 9890 Water St. – Deck/Guard Rails – Design Review
Bristol summarized the application as a proposal to replace the existing first and second floor decking
and guardrail system at 9890 Water Street with composite decking in a dark gray Trex-type product
and white aluminum guardrails, as shown in the submitted concept drawings. Material samples were
provided.
Thorp reported that the HPC voted 4-0 to recommend approval, with committee members noting the
proposal represented an aesthetic improvement over the existing conditions. One HPC member raised
a question about the blue doors on the property, but this did not affect the recommendation.
Held moved, Bartelt seconded to approve Deck/Guard Rails, Design Review application for
Matt LaLonde at 9890 Water Street as presented, all ayes and the motion carried.
9. Pine Grove Resort – 10080 Water St. – Design Review - Fence
Bristol explained that Pine Grove Resort had submitted an application for a new fence along the
waterfront portion of the property. After staff consultation, the applicant revised the initial proposal
from a 4-foot black metal fence to a 42-inch walnut-brown metal fence to better align with ordinance
requirements and staff guidance regarding natural materials and colors appropriate for the Historic
District.
Thorp reported that the HPC voted to deny the application. Key concerns included the absence of a
representative from Pine Grove at the HPC meeting, the use of metal construction with numerous
vertical spindles, and a lack of clarity about the exact location and purpose of the fence near a drop-
off in the terrain. The HPC suggested that if a fence were to be reconsidered, a split-rail design
consistent with fencing found elsewhere in the Village would be more appropriate.
Plan Committee Meeting Minutes
Tuesday, April 28, 2026
Page 4 of 6
Nelson agreed, stating that the density of vertical spindles was not appropriate for the waterfront,
even in a darker color. Bartelt echoed this position and indicated he would defer to or support a delay
of this item. Hoyerman concurred noting that the design choice does not seem to accomplish a guest
safety. McClean agreed. She would like to see a split-rail fence instead. Held suggested a split-rail
fence or an increase in the height of the existing stone wall as alternatives. Thorp noted that the
existing stone wall retains pipe fittings that could accommodate a pipe railing similar to what remains
on the stairs.
Hoyerman moved, McClean seconded to approve the Fence, Design Review application for
Pine Grove Resort at 10080 Water Street as presented, all nays and the motion failed.
10. David Hatch – 10337 Townline Dr. – New Commercial Shop – Conditional Use – Design Review
Bristol provided background, noting that David Hatch had previously appeared before the committee,
but the application was tabled pending survey clarification on lot boundaries and access. Hatch
returned with updated site documentation confirming that the proposed 2,400-square-foot
workshop/storage structure would be constructed on Lot 1 (larger, further offset on Townline Drive),
with legal driveway access provided via an easement across his son's adjacent property to the south
rather than from Townline Drive directly. Notice was sent out to all neighboring properties within
300 feet. Bristol noted he has not received any correspondence regarding this item.
David Hatch appeared in person and explained that the project represents a consolidation and
relocation of his existing workshop operations, which are currently housed in a structure situated on a
property line. He described the building as intended for private use—storage, staging, and carpentry
work—for himself and eventually his family. Bristol clarified that under the Village's zoning code,
the only mechanism to permit a building of this size (exceeding the 1,000-square-foot residential
accessory structure limit) in the Commercial North District is as a trade and contractors’
establishment under the Conditional Use provisions, which appropriately applies given Hatch's
carpentry trade.
A brief discussion addressed the question of bathroom/sanitary requirements for a commercial
structure. Bristol noted this would be addressed through the separate building permit and state
inspection process, not through the zoning approval before the committee.
Nelson also noted that the Conditional Use provisions for accessory structures over 1,000 square feet
could provide an alternative path, though the committee proceeded under the trade and contractors’
classification.
Bristol recommended that any approval be conditioned on the removal of unpermitted and unlicensed
structures from the adjacent property to the west, and on the establishment of a recorded legal
easement for driveway access across the neighboring parcel.
McClean moved, Held seconded to approve of New Commercial Shop, Conditional Use,
Design Review application for David Hatch at tax parcel 121-01-123127 K1 & K2 contingent
upon removal of unlicensed and unpermitted structures and the creation of a legal easement
with his neighbor for driveway access, all ayes and the motion carried.

11. Sip (Jennie Bexell) – 10326 Water St. – Accessory Structure – Conditional Use – Outdoor
Service
Bristol introduced the application, noting that Jennie Bexell (SIP) had previously appeared before the
committee. The proposal involves the installation of a 13-by-17-foot aluminum gazebo structure on
the north side of the building at 10326 Water Street to provide covered outdoor bar and small grill
area. The structure would be a seasonal installation, removed during the winter months. Bristol noted
that he has not received any correspondence for this item.
Jennie Bexell explained that the intent is to allow outdoor food and beverage service without
requiring staff to move equipment in and out each day. She clarified that no new seating is being
added—rather, some existing outdoor seating (previously approximately 12 seats) would be relocated
under the covered structure, resulting in approximately 6 to 8 seats. The gazebo color was selected to
match the gray tones of the existing building.
Bartelt sought clarification on the seating count and whether new seats were being added; Bexell
confirmed no net addition.
Thorp asked about material and color samples; Bexell confirmed the structure is a pre-manufactured
kit and that the color was selected to complement the existing building. The committee was satisfied
with the description and did not require samples prior to approval.
Held moved, Hoyerman seconded to approve the Accessory Structure, Outdoor Service-
Gazebo-Small Bar and Grill, Conditional Use application for SIP JF LLC at 10326 Water
Street as presented, all ayes and the motion carried.
12. Ephraim Business Council – Event – Fyr Bal
The Ephraim Business Council representative Kelsey Stone confirmed that the Fyr Bal Festival event
application is unchanged from prior years in terms of logistics, layout, road closure, signage, portable
restrooms, remote parking at the airport and former Shopko lot, and bus transportation.
McClean moved, Held seconded to approve the Ephraim Business Council Event application
for the Fyr Bal Festival on Saturday, June 20, 2026, as presented, all ayes and the motion
carried.
13. Ephraim Business Council – Event – Bondemarked
McClean moved, Held seconded to approve the Ephraim Business Council Event application
for the Evenings in Ephraim Bondemarked, Artisan and Farmers Market, every Monday from
June 22 through August 31, 2026, at 10404 North Water Street, all ayes and the motion carried.
14. Ephraim Business Council – Event – Evenings in Ephraim
McClean moved, Held seconded to approve the Ephraim Business Council Event application
for Evenings in Ephraim Concerts at Harborside Park and Gazebo, every Monday from June
22 through August 31, 2026, all ayes and the motion carried.

15. Discussion and recommendation regarding proposed PW ordinance changes
Bristol provided context, explaining that this item represented a return to the committee for a refreshed
recommendation. Following the committee's earlier direction to explore a mechanism to pause major
new building applications in the Protected Waterfront (PW) district, Village legal counsel
recommended a cleaner approach modeled on a prior action used for multi-family development:
amending the zoning code to remove the specific conditional use provisions that enable additions,
modifications, and replacement of existing residential structures in PW, temporarily suspending that
pathway while new ordinance language is developed.
Specifically, the proposed ordinance amendment would remove two provisions: Section 17.20(b)(1),
which allows conditional use applications for additions and modifications to existing structures in PW,
and Section 17.20(5), which provides the substantive guidance standards for such applications.
The Village Board has set a public hearing on this amendment for May 12, 2026. Any completed
applications received before the Board's potential approval would continue to be heard under the
current code.
Hoyerman expressed measured support, emphasizing the importance of a sunset provision to ensure
that the removed language would automatically be reinstated if new ordinance language were not
adopted by December 31, 2026. He articulated concern that without such a safeguard, the removal
could become permanent under pressure from those who prefer no change to the Protected Waterfront
District.
Bartelt and Nelson both agreed with this provision. Nelson confirmed he had already presented to the
Village Board that the Plan Committee was committed to delivering a revised ordinance within 90
days of the Board's approval.
McClean and others noted the importance of making it clear on the record that the committee's intent
is not to eliminate the ability to renovate or rebuild homes in PW, but to craft better, clearer standards
for doing so. The committee agreed that this message should be conveyed clearly to the public and to
the Village Board.
Bristol noted that the proposed sunset mechanism would need to be reviewed by Village legal counsel
to confirm it could be added to the ordinance amendment without re-publication or a new public
hearing notice. Nelson concurred, suggesting the attorney be consulted before the May 12 meeting.
Hoyerman moved, McClean seconded that the Plan Committee recommend that the Village
Board approve the amendment to the Village of Ephraim zoning code pertaining to the
Protected Waterfront zoning district at its May 12 Public Hearing, and that the Village Board
farther adds a sunset provision reinstating the existing zoning language in the event that no
new ordinance language is adopted by December 31, 2026, all ayes and the motion carried.
16. New business for the next meeting/Next meeting date: There was no new business to add to next
month’s agenda. The next meeting date would be May 26th, 2026.
17. Adjournment:
Held moved, Hoyerman seconded to adjourn the Plan Committee meeting at 8:45 PM, all
ayes, and the motion carried.

6. Maintenance Manager Report:
MacDonald provided an overview of the activities the Maintenance Department completed in April. He
explained that April had been a transition month focused on preparing facilities for spring and summer
operations. The department completed dethatching all Village properties and coordinated with the
Highway Department to sweep all roadways before the recent heavy rains.
MacDonald reported that gutters were reinstalled at the Administration office after being removed for
winter due to ice-damming issues. They also continued cleaning up downed trees and debris from winter
storms. Bathrooms were being slowly reopened with deep cleaning procedures to ensure everything was
operational for the season.
Despite the spring timing, the department had to conduct ice control operations once in April.
MacDonald also noted they had handled various digger requests related to the North End Walking Path
construction project. He mentioned that the contractor had begun work at the dump site.
7. Update on German Road Dump:
MacDonald provided an update on the German Road dump project. He announced that work was
expected to be completed in the next couple of days. He explained that the project had experienced
delays due to weather, as well as waiting for weight restrictions to be lifted from the Town of Liberty
Grove Road before contractors could access the site. He described the current state of the work, noting
that contractors had scraped the area down to bedrock, which he believed would create a much better
driving surface. Berms had been constructed around the perimeter of the expanded area. He detailed the
planned organization of the dump site and noted he was waiting for the signs to arrive to direct traffic
flow properly once the construction was complete.
A discussion was held regarding the German Road brush and yard waste site. Lohman inquired about
the expansion size. MacDonald confirmed the new dump was at least five times larger than the original
area. When asked about the need for additional gravel, MacDonald indicated he didn't believe additional
material would be necessary, as contractors were working to level the area using existing materials,
including dredging materials from marina operations. Further discussion arose about future dredging
2
operations from the marina. MacDonald explained that the same location previously used for dredging
material would continue to be available, with materials being pushed back further toward German Road
to create more space. MacDonald reiterated that weight restrictions had been the primary constraint,
noting that the Village office had received numerous calls from residents asking about the dump's
reopening. He emphasized that contractors couldn't work any faster than the conditions allowed. Bristol
raised concerns about drainage, questioning whether the excavated area might become a "swimming
pool" during wet conditions. MacDonald acknowledged that the experienced equipment operators
weren't shooting grades but expressed confidence that the bedrock base with its natural fractures would
provide adequate drainage.

Staff: Brent Bristol – Village Administrator and Kim Roberts – Deputy Clerk.
1. Discussion and Consideration Regarding Plans for Community Clean-Up Day and Tree Giveaway:
The Committee discussed the upcoming Community Clean-Up Day scheduled for May 9, 2026. The
Committee reviewed who would be responsible for specific tasks to ensure a successful event.
2. Discussion regarding 2026 Goals:
Continuing Goals:
• Signage at the Wetlands: Project progressing with proofs expected at the end of May.
• Waterfilling Stations: Installation is being coordinated by MacDonald, dependent on weather
conditions.
• Public Electric Vehicle Charging Stations: Past discussions of a fast charger were reviewed, as well
as locations, and coordination with possible future projects. It may be a part of a larger discussion of
future capital projects and keeping an eye out for grant opportunities.
• Green Tier page on the website: The Committee was pleased with the updates to the Village Green
Tier web page. They noted that they would continue to keep an eye out for additional information
that would serve the community to add to the page on the website. Goal achieved!
• Community Clean-up Expansion to include battery drop off: Battery drop off is included in the
Clean Up day for May 9, 2026. Goal achieved!
• North End Path inclusion in the Ephraim Business Council (EBC) brochure: The North End Path
was included in the EBC 2026 brochure in the Nature & Outdoors section on page 12. Goal
Achieved!
Projects for the Committee to be aware of and be a part of the conversation:
• Moravia Point: Bristol provided an update on the progress of establishing a native prairie in the area
of Moravia Point. He reviewed that it will take time and patience, but it is the best plan for the site in
terms of maintenance and site stability.
• Goose Roundup: The Board had a Public Hearing in March. If the round-up moves forward, it would
happen in the next month during the molting stage when the birds are flightless.
• Harborside Park: It could be a large project due to the desire for the Library to have a permanent
story walk, making the park more accessible, and adding bathrooms. The discussion has become
more of a Board discussion regarding future Capital Projects.
• Trees: The Committee reviewed the trees lost recently throughout the Village. Bristol reviewed the
plan for replacing trees after the completion of the North End Path project. Bristol noted that
Ephraim Historical Foundation had suggested a Liberty Tree to honor the nation’s 250th anniversary
of independence. Mulliken suggested the site of the tree lost outside of the Library as a perfect
location for the Liberty Tree.
• Playground at Administration Building: The Committee agreed that the focus on the playground at
Harborside to be more inclusive would allow for the removal of the Administration Building
playground. The Committee agreed that they would want a commitment that the Harborside Park
Playground would be updated if the Administration Building playground was to be removed.
Items for the Committee to watch for updates and future year goals:
• Development and updates from the Door County Trail Group: The Committee noted that the
Strategic Master Trails Plan for Door County would be the next development phase for the group.
• Compost Initiatives: The County Green Tier Group has placed a higher priority on educating those
in attendance at festivals and events about composting. Their next meeting is in November.
• Community Garden: While there is a lack of interest and room within the Village, the Committee
expressed interest in providing information to residents regarding a Community Garden behind the
Door County Medical Center in Sister Bay.
3. Update on Wetlands Signage Project:
C. Nelson provided an update on the Wetlands Signage Project. She noted that she had been in touch with
the contractor, who is waiting for proofs from production.
4. Update on Solar for the Wastewater Treatment Facility:
Mulliken explained that the Solar Project for the Wastewater Treatment Plant faces timeline and funding
challenges. B. Nelson mentioned that the Wastewater Committee has discussed treating solar as a separate
project. Though there's Board interest in this approach, a decision has yet to be made. Funding research,
largely ineffective due to income-based qualification issues, highlighted a potential small grant from
Destination Door County. C. Nelson stressed the need for a comprehensive review of explored funding
avenues to avoid repetitive research. Mulliken suggested potentially enlisting Stantec for grant applications,
pending Board approval. B. Nelson emphasized timeliness, indicating that delaying decisions reduces
funding chances. However, a "biddable plan" remains pending, which in turn prevents pursuing any grant
funding. A discussion about the bidding process considered a request for proposal versus specific plans. B.
Nelson agreed to consult with the solar contractor further on unresolved issues.
7. Update on Water Bottle Filling Station:
Mulliken reported that MacDonald is coordinating installation with the contractor. Due to the temperatures,
it will be a few weeks before installation can occur.
5. Next meeting:
The Committee scheduled its next meeting for June 4, 2026, at 9:00 AM
The meeting adjourned at 9:43 AM.
