Key discussions included the submission of a contour and topography map, which highlighted significant slopes on proposed lot 7, designated to remain vacant for recreational use. The subdivider is required to adhere to Sawyer County subdivision ordinances, particularly regarding road construction, with all proposed roads currently classified as private.
Concerns were raised about the potential need to change the name of one of the roads, as indicated by the GIS technician. The committee emphasized that additional information may be requested from the subdivider, including soil borings and a stormwater management plan, to ensure compliance with environmental regulations.
The meeting transitioned into a public hearing, where the town board's approval of the zoning was noted. The board concluded that the development aligns with the town's comprehensive plan and does not pose a threat to public safety, provided that county zoning ordinances are followed.
Additionally, six notification letters were sent to adjacent property owners, with one response received, expressing a desire to maintain an existing easement that traverses the property. The committee confirmed that the easement would remain intact, ensuring legal access for neighboring properties.
The meeting concluded with the committee's readiness to address any further inquiries regarding the subdivision proposal.
