Plan Commission Report: Supervisor Gibbs explained a driveway permit taken out by Bart’s A-1 Storage for the purpose of a second driveway per the order of Portage County. There is enough space between driveways on Ellis Road and the property owner can move along with his place for a second driveway. Town Right-of-Way (Driveway Markers): The Board discussed that every year, some property owners put up markers on town road right-of-way. The Board made it clear that the town maintains 33’ from the centerline of the road per State Statutes and people need to be aware of this. Supervisor Gagas also mentioned some driveways have concrete going right up to the town road which is dangerous to our plows.

Chairman’s Report: The Board discussed roads in need of repair for 2024. Bruce Boenski gave the Sharon EMS report and Lori Printz gave the Polonia Park report.
