Code ILHRTY Chapter 7 as a replacement. Allowing the State and Feds to take care of enforcement. • Chapter 7 – If the Town of Little Suamico collects impact fees on home construction ($650), Apt. building construction ($350 per unit) goes to park and recreation the Town Board will have to provide a proposal for impact fees, which may be different than posted in parenthesis. As development grows, the need for more parks or green space is possible. 7.03 & 7.04 UTV and ATV ordinance will stand as written. • Chapter 8 – It was proposed to have the building inspector attend the next meeting as there were many questions before moving on with acceptance of ordinances. • Chapter 4 – Nuisance problems, all committee members to go through chapter 4 again and pick State Statutes to use and to slim this chapter down possibly. Things like: how do we get the County to actually enforce their ordinances!! Do we need an ordinance officer? Or can we accept County ordinances without listing our own? 3. Open discussion among Committee Members: • So far the Town of Little Suamico has no Sex Offender ordinance. Kory will talk to the Town attorney of an ordinance and if we are required to have an appeal process or an appeal board?
