MCINTYRE A public hearing was held regarding the petition of Ben McIntyre to CONDITIONAL USE allow for the construction of an accessory structure that will have a PERMIT bathroom group (toilet and sink) or any other plumbing or running water other than a floor drain at the property located at N2857 Driftwood Beach Road. Mr. McIntyre explained that the building permit for the structure has already been applied for and issued and that the need for a Conditional Use Permit was identified after the holding tank permit was filed with the County. During discussion, the following information was provided: (1) the structure would include a shed/shop space, small hangout or overflow space, and a rear room that may be used as an office or a storage area; (2) the water would be supplied from the existing well; (3) the bathroom would include a toilet and sink only with no shower, tub, washer, or dryer; (4) a floor drain will be in the shop area and in the rear mechanical room; and (5) the holding tank size was stated to be 2,000 gallons. There were no public comments other than a nearby property owner who received notice of the hearing in the mail and attended to find out what was happening. With no additional comments, the public hearing was closed. Thereafter, a motion was made and seconded with unanimous approval to recommend that the Town Board approve the Conditional Use Permit. OTHER UPCOMING The Commission discussed other business that would be coming BUSINESS before it, including the following: (1) that it is necessary to have the owners of Barnyard Butchers come before the Plan Commission regarding their non-compliance with the terms of their 2021 Conditional Use Permit. Attorney Parmentier will contact them regarding this; (2) the Town is in need of application documents for short-term rental license; (3) the Town may need to discuss various property maintenance, right-of-way, and nuisance concerns; (4) the Michels O’Connor quarry has apparently been reclaimed and the Town needs to determine what, if anything, to do in response; and (5) the Plan Commission must meet in the future to act on a cell tower project that involves upgrades to the existing facilities.
