Roll call: Present--Chairman Bill Angoli, Secretary Dave Blakeslee, Ross Johnson, Pam Kouba, Fred Lemens (5) Citizens in attendance Pledge of Allegiance Approval of Agenda, motion by F. Lemens, second by P. Kouba , carried 5/0 Approval of Minutes of 12/ 03/2007, motion by F. Lemens, second by D. Blakeslee, carried 5/0 with changes PUBLIC HEARING on N. Weber zoning application opened at 7:10 pm B. Angoli explained the circumstances for the N. Weber reapplication. N. Weber requested to make changes to the first application before the Town Board. Town Board tabled issue and referred back to the Plan Commission. N, Weber was thus required to file a new application with regards to the application changes, to be consistent with previously established policies. N. Weber changed the site plan from 1.44ac to 1.96ac to include the well and the septic field. Citizens Opposed: J. Gussart, expressed his concerns of potential to increase property taxes, access/egress is on a sharp curve, and there will be an increase in vehicular traffic. A. Binish, indicated the property is listed for sale by a realtor. She felt that the property was unbuildable under previous zone applications. She had concerns for increased traffic and property values. L. Binish, indicated there was not alot of traffic on this road and with more houses, more traffic and increase in property values. Citizens For: N. Weber indicated this zone request is very similar to the Marquart situation. They built on the footprint of the old house. She would be building on the footprint of the barn and be using a part of the barn’s foundation. DISCUSSION: F. Lemens indicated the Marquart house was slightly off and not on the exact house footprint. D. Blakeslee asked if the old barn would be torn down or used as part of the house? A. Binish asked if there are so much support, where are all the people that were infavor of this? L. Binish indicated they (Town Franklin) can not build on A3 with less then 35ac. PUBLIC INPUT CLOSED 7:30 pm Plan Commission reviewed the zone questionnaire. B. Angoli read the original to determine if any new impacts relative to the new application. F. Lemens indicated he thought this application should be larger, more rural, A2 on 5ac. A1 is to small and would allow an entry wedge of A1 parcels. D. Blakeslee thought the new application is an improvement over the first. The well and septic field are now in the site plan to be zoned. A1 would seem to be better than A2. The A1 is restricting the building to the footprint of old buildings, It should not be an entry wedge if the surrounding acreage remains A3. Any new construction is limited to the old homestead. B. Angoli indicated the new application resolved his concerns. The septic and well are on the plot to be zoned. So this would not create potential problems. P. Kouba indicated that C. Zeman wanted to build in the field, well away from the original homestead footprint. Motion by P.Kouba to approve a zone request for A1 on 1.96ac , second by R.Johnson carried 4/1 Voting For: B.Angoli, P.Kouba, D.Blakeslee, R.Johnson, Opposed: F.Lemens Public Hearing adjourned and regular monthly meeting opened at 8pm.
