reconstruction it was the standard established by the community. President Engelmann shared about there being
uniformity in the community. Carla shared that 56% of the Village does not have sidewalks. Additionally 24% of that
only had sidewalks on one side of the road.
Bill Powell – 415 Herwig Dr.- Submitted paperwork for public record stating 90% of the neighborhood don’t want
sidewalks. Bill asked the audience for a hand vote of who doesn’t want a sidewalk. Spoke on the cost of living going
up. Along with the cost of taxes going up. President Engelmann spoke that the Village taxes went down this year, it
was the schools taxes that raised taxes.
Angie Berry - 101 & 106 Schneider St. – Bought house over 30 years ago without sidewalks. Discussed neighbors
needing to live on a fixed income. Questioned about a tree on the property being removed, and if she would be
charged for that removal. Joe explained that tree removal is not being assessed.
Nathan Wendel - 508 Herwig Dr. – Spoke on the financial impact to himself. Shared that he is not for the sidewalk.
Spoke on making a bike lane instead of putting in a sidewalk similar to La Follette. Requested that he be able to hire
his own contractor to install the sidewalk.
Kimberly Foye - 105 Schneider St. – Shared they bought their home because there was no sidewalk. That moving
north was the point of getting away from sidewalks.

Spoke on planting a tree last year and her garden would need to be relocated. She shared she lives on a fixed
income and not being able to afford the assessment.
Joe DeYoung shared that the Village can work in a 66 ft area. The Village will not replace landscaping. Along with
corner lots the policy is that the homeowner covers the larger side, and the Village pays the other side. Also, the
Village can adjust the payment timeframe.
Carol Shogren - 410 Herwig Dr. – Spoke on having 3 trees be tied. One tree is a linden tree that is a pollinator, and
bees need these trees. Why prioritize sidewalks over trees? Stating that the trees can’t be replaced in her lifetime.
House was built in 1976, and the road came in 2001. She spoke on the sidewalk right up to her house. Is there
enough traffic to warrant the sidewalk? Do we care if the sidewalks and streets are uniform in the Village?
Dave Shogren - 410 Herwig Dr. – Understands that the street is bad, but is against the sidewalk. Asks to just take
the sidewalks out of it.
Nicole Bronson - 515 Herwig Dr. – Family disagrees with the sidewalks, and it will eliminate the space for them to
play. Nobody is ok with this. States the Village is going to destroy the land. That the family is the lands care taker,
and the village doesn’t get to decide to destroy it. Questioned if the board would like to see the funds in her back
account? Limited funds to use in day to day life. Spoke on having ancestors on this, and there’s karma with tearing
up the land.
Linda - 514 Herwig Dr – Purchased home 49 years ago and loves the way it is, and asks for no sidewalks.
