Correspondence: There was an e-mail from zoning regarding appeal by Lake District. We have voted twice and you have information. Stay the same. December 29 Jay Nordstrom would like to look at boat landing options for the spring. Comment: One constituent asked what would be the benefit to the town to construct a pavilion in the town park? Also wondered what would be the cost? He would like to know the plot of where the pavilion will be. Access to the shoreline for fishermen—it is steep and not very accessible. Size of the park is not that large—parking is a concern. Access is an easement and should be respected. Would like to see grass planted to make it look nice. Another constituent mentioned that park was closed from Labor Day to Memorial Day with open hours—sunset to sunrise closed. Why is it being plowed? He would like to clarify and make the sign clearer for posted hours. Old Business: • Spooner Lake Boat Launch Ordinance #01-04-2022 is written to replace the older versions of the ordinance. Waiver is included for small tourism businesses using the lake. Motion by Johnson to accept and adopt the ordinance, seconded by Frankiewicz. Signature on the ordinance and passed and will be posted. New Business: • Building Permit for pavilion at the Spooner Town Park. This structure will be 12 x 18 at the largest. Building permit will be $150. February meeting will be the billing to be approved. It will have deck flooring and open on the sides with a roof. Cost estimate is @$3500 for materials. Donation or discount could be requested. Labor may be provided by the LCO construction students. Flowers are planted in the spring. Landing does need work. The placement of the pavilion will be in a place to be able to see the lake, but to DNR approval for distance from the lake. Motion made by Johnson, second by Frankiewicz, motion carried unanimously. Highway Update and Expenditures (Supervisor Macone): Will report in February when Macone is in attendance.
