Also in reference to the Table of Contents, when they are revised to correspond

"Figures" it refers to Cloverland and not Conover.
Pg 4 - last line change "to" to "the" between "toward" and "top".
Pg 5 - Last paragraph, first line - "200" should be "2000". Also in that line, take out the "of" between "town" and "population"
Pg 6 - First paragraph, first line - Take out the "of" between "town" and "population".
Pg 6 - Last sentence of first paragraph - "2000" should be "2009".

Also on this map, Town Hall and Recycling Center are shown on the wrong side of Perch Lake Road. They should be in the northwest quadrant of the intersection of Perch Lake Road and Oak Lane.
Pg 59 - Map #5 - Future Land Use should reflect at least what is currently residential areas as shown on Map #4. Several areas that stand out as being in error are where houses currently exist at the northwest corner of Perch Lake Road and Sunset Road as well as areas on Gray Wolf Trail and Big Wolf Lane. In addition, both sides of Pickerel Lake road just north of Hwy G are currently residential as well as an area to the south side of Hwy G between Pickerel Lake Road and Balsam Lane. One location of Pickerel Lake should be shown as a resort as shown on Map #4. These two maps should be cross checked before finalization to see if there are other areas that need to be corrected.
There were no public comments.

provided comments and helpful information to accurately reflect what exists and

The Cloverland Plan Commission was called to order at 1:00 PM by Chairman Scott Maciosek. Members present were Francine Gough, Jim Lynn, Sherri Maciosek, Scott Maciosek and Bob Brownell.
In addition, Ann & Jeff Currie, Joe Eisele and Matthew Schreiber were in attendance.
Matthew Schreiber was representing the North Central Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission(NCWRPC) and will be working with the Plan Commission to revise and update our Comprehensive Land Use Plan.
A motion made by Jim Lynn and seconded by Sherri Maciosek to handle the agenda in any order. Motion passed unanimously.
A motion made by Jim Lynn and seconded by Sherri Maciosek to approve the minutes from the meeting of June 15, 2010 as written. Unanimously approved.
At this juncture the meeting focused on the procedure that would be used to revise and update the Cloverland Comprehensive Land Use Plan and review of Chapters 1,2, and 3.
Matt reviewed the procedure that he would use to revise and update the Land Use Plan with the Plan Commission. He handed out "Attachment A" which detailed the Scope of Work and the tentative meeting schedule to complete the revisions and updates and ultimate presentation to the Town of Cloverland residents.
The following is the tentative schedule for meetings to make the necessary revisions and updates:
Meeting 1 Kick-Off Meeting August 17, 2010 1:00 PM
Meeting 2 Regular Meeting October 19, 2010 1:00 PM
Meeting 3 Regular Meeting January 18, 2011 1:00 PM
Meeting 4 Regular Meeting March 15, 2011 1:00 PM
When 2010 Census figures are available
the Plan will be updated to reflect those numbers.
This appears to be mostly for the Chapter 1 updates and that chapter was
reviewed page by page.
Some of the issues, goals or objectives were discussed for this chapter. The following is a list of items that are felt to be important to the Town of Cloverland:
Broadband
Energy costs - potential for continued increase
Levy Cap - restriction hinders providing necessary services
Dependent on Vilas County for services such as snow removal, police and fire
protection
but ultimately this is the preferred choice at this time.
Recycle Issue
Bike/Recreation Trail
Alternate means of transportation
Utility interruptions
This list may be updated as we proceed.
Chapter 2 discussion page by page.
Questions raised on page 2-3 of this Chapter as they relate to Snipe Lake, supposed ,mercury contamination and whether DNR has posted anything at Snipe Lake. Also, the Invasive Aquatic Species paragraph was questioned as to accuracy and were any lakes overlooked and should Watersmeet Lake be added as it is adjacent to the Town of Cloverland.
Should we add a reference to Town Lakes Committee and CLASS? Information is available on the Cloverland web site.
There will be a map included for wetlands.
Questions raised on page 2-6 of this
Chapter as they relate to number of quarries in the town. We think that there is
one active on the west side of County forest. Plus a couple of inactive
locations.
Also on that page there is a suggestion to change the word "forested"
to forest land. The total land area for the town was questioned as 31.4 square
miles seem to be to low; however, if the lake area is deducted this may be an
accurate figure.
Also on the same page it indicates there are no farms in the town but wondering
about Francine's property and a location on the west side of Boot Lake road.
Question raised about the old town dump as to whether it should be included under section 4 on page 2-7?
Under section 6 on page 2-8, DeNoyer's Motel should be eliminated as it is not in the Town of Cloverland.
Under section C. Policies section 2. We suggest that the word "discourage" be changed to "prevent" or a similar word. Also DNR has the final say on this item anyway.
Under section C. Policies section 7. We
suggest that the word "allowed" be changed to "controlled".
Chapter 3 discussion.
Add a paragraph which indicates that we have housing inspections that meet the State requirements that apply to new home construction.
Table 3 page 3-3
Adjust table to indicate "unoccupied" units and in the opening paragraph of this section, change "Phelps" to "Cloverland".
Matt will check to see if a "Public Participation Resolution" is needed.
This completed the review of the Chapters
for this meeting. Revisions will be made by Matt and revised draft will be made
available to the Plan Commission before our next meeting in order to review same
before the meeting.
There were no public comments.
Bob Brownell motioned and Sherri Maciosek seconded that the meeting be adjourned. Motion passed. Meeting adjourned at 2:53 PM.
