Tomahawk council approves survey map for Comfort Drive lots; buffer size and drainage noted
Summary
The Tomahawk Common Council approved a certified survey map for two Comfort Drive lots June 16, noting that a requested 16-foot trail buffer appears as a 50-foot buffer on the map and that natural drainage in the area will need consideration.
The Tomahawk Common Council approved a certified survey map for Lot 1 and Lot 2 on Comfort Drive at its June 16 meeting, and council members discussed a larger-than-requested perimeter buffer and natural drainage in the area.
The map, presented as coming from SC Swiderski of the Community Development Authority of Tomahawk, was recorded as approved after a motion "MICKEY LOKA moved to approve and ERNST seconded," with the clerk recording the vote as unanimous. The roll call earlier in the meeting listed Patricia Haskin, Robert Soward, Will Garske, Mike Loka, Tadd Wegener, Jeff Kahle, Donald Nelson and Steve “Ding” Bartz as present and recorded Mickey Loka as absent.
Street Leadsperson Nick Rosenmeier told the council that "when the city asked for a 16-foot perimeter buffer for [a] recreational trail, it ended up being a 50-foot buffer," noting the discrepancy between the request and the map as presented. Council members also discussed the natural drainage patterns in the Comfort Drive area; the meeting record includes discussion but no specific mitigation measures or follow-up directives.
The decision to approve the survey map appears to clear the way for the recordation of the two lots; the transcript does not record additional conditions or engineering requirements attached to the approval. The council set its next regular meeting for July 7, 2026, at City Hall Council Chambers at 5:30 p.m.
The meeting minutes record the motion and the unanimous vote but do not reconcile the roll-call line that lists Mickey Loka as absent with the motion text that names him as the mover. The transcript does not provide a roll-call vote-by-name for the motion beyond the unanimous outcome.
