After board discussion, no change was made to the policy. • Salt shed repair update – Tri-Brothers had it done in almost 1 day. Paid for the lumber to push a wall back in and they fixed it in addition to the originally agreed upon repairs. • Bridge inspection reports – progress to be reported at future meetings. 9. Public hearing regarding proposed clarifications to the town land use plan. Rosenbaum informed those present that the Town Land Use Plan was adopted in 2002. Plan calls for periodic review, invites residents to submit recommended changes by 12/31 of each year, and the PC considers those recommendations in the early part of the next year. Amy Jester, Chair of the PC, presented the line-by-line changes and showed them on the screen. Board will vote on these changes in May; no substantive policy changes are being made. Updating language, removing definitions for commercial development, heavy industrial and light industrial. When the zoning was updated in 2019, the industrial references were removed as they are no longer referenced in the LUP but the definitions were left. Resident K. Hacker – limited building envelopes to 2 acres, what was it before? Jester – “Minimum size necessary”. 2 acres has been the working definition for a while. Rosenbaum closed public hearing for no other comments at 8:16 PM. 10. Driveways • J. Voell, 2253 Hwy 92 (shared). Tyler Roudebush present for J. Voell who was out of town. Rosenbaum said an engineered plan is needed for the switchback and severity of the grade; conditional approval would be recommended with an engineered plan, slope requirement, Dane Co. Erosion control permit, and shared driveway agreement. MOTION (Rosenbaum/Altschul) to approve the driveway conditionally on the above conditions. Discussion: PC Chair Jester mentioned that the land still has to be officially divided as it currently isn’t its own lot. Tyler confirmed that the engineered plan is in progress. Decision to table until further information is provided. • Stagecoach LLC, J. Karls, farm access on Paulson Rd. Ag driveway only. MOTION (Rosenbaum/Schwenn) to approve as submitted. No further discussion. 3 ayes, 0 nays. • Stutz/Heuer Living Trust, Lot 2 County Highway S, (S. Nizamuddin land). MOTION (Rosenbaum/Altschul) to approve as submitted. 3 ayes, 0 nays. 11. Bid Opening: town garage HVAC project. General Engineering Company (GEC) says we don’t have to heat the incoming air, so no state exception is needed. • Helm - $28,806 • Harker - $22,159 GEC has approved the plans and will approve both the rough and the final installation. Budgeted $28,000 for this project. MOTION (Altschul/Rosenbaum) to go with Harker as the low bid. Discussion: K. Hacker asked why can’t we just use all the money on the town hall and the repairs it needs? Schwenn agreed; feels that we’re throwing away this money on something not needed. MINUTES SPRINGDALE TOWN BOARD TUESDAY, APRIL 21, 2026 AT 7:00 P.M. Page 3 of 3 Altschul noted that the garage is not up to code, and that while it is not “fun” to spend town money this way, she will not vote to knowingly disregard safety requirements.

Alter the website to put the last sentence up by the beginning the page somewhere, saying that they have to read the driveway guide first. 13.
