Jim Wallace had checked with the off-duty officer concerning vehicles parking partly on the road during party nights, and being a hazard.  The officers can write a citation for this.  The Dickert’s, Younce’s, and Freezner’s property are the most affected by this.

 

The Planning Board wants to keep the KA House property zoned RI (residential).  A man, who wants to purchase the property, wants to make changes in the zoning ordinance.

 

Jim Wallace would like his comments on the Planning Board presentation last month, to be included and attached to these minutes.   Jim emphasized that he was not asking these comments be approved, just included as concerns and remarks of his.  A motion was made by Dick Iobst, it was seconded and passed to have his comments accepted for discussion only to January minutes.

 

There was no Sheriff’s report this month.

 

Roger Turk will be invited to attend February’s meeting to present plans.
