Maiden Rock board discusses planning, CAFO developments nearby and tables authority-bonds resolution
Summary
The board reviewed planning commission surveys to be mailed with tax statements, noted a neighboring CAFO ordinance vote and a possible 8,000-hive beekeeping influx, approved UW-Stevens Point water testing availability at $78 per sample, recorded a new commercial zoning permit for Steven Macke, and tabled a resolution on authority bonds.
During its Dec. 8, 2025 meeting, the Town of Maiden Rock Board discussed several planning and land-use items and took limited steps on administrative follow-up.
Clerk/Treasurer Carla R. Schuster said the MRRPC/Planning Commission surveys are ready and that notices will be mailed with upcoming tax statements. Supervisor John Danneker noted that UW-Stevens Point will accept water samples again next year at a cost of $78 per sample; the board agreed to include sampling notices with tax mailings.
On ordinance work in neighboring Gillman Township, the board noted that Gillman was meeting that night to vote on a concentrated animal feeding operation (CAFO) ordinance. Douglas Sjostrom told the board that up to 8,000 bee hives may be moving into the township and spoke about potential implications; the town did not take formal action on bee-related matters.
The board recorded a new commercial zoning permit application from Steven Macke; the minutes do not provide further detail on the project. Separately, the review of a resolution concerning authority bonds for business loans was discussed and tabled until the next meeting.
Chairman Jerry F. Duden said he checked with Robert Loberg regarding village powers and found no official paperwork; he recommended having the paperwork redone.
No final votes on ordinances or planning approvals were recorded at this meeting; the board scheduled follow-up items for future agendas.
