Judy Toth asked why in the Industrial Park? Bob Matson said
because Schwan owns the property and he wants to put the arena there. What
about sidewalks? Will the Village install them? Mayor Moser said sidewalks have
been discussed but there is no resolution. There is concern for the kids that
may walk to arena. Mike Porter said he is really no concerned about sidewalks,
most kids drive. Porter said he does business out in the Industrial area on
Saturday and Sunday and it is pretty quiet most parents will probably take
their kids. Judy Toth said she feels the Village should do something to protect
the kids. Teri Eiermann asked if most
businesses close at

Chad Harris wanted to know what the conditions were. Bob Matson read the conditions. Chad Harris said he does not want a gas station in his backyard. Chad Harris said he has problems with the lighting during the winter. Judy Toth said that the creek has never been fixed right, it is a mess back behind Poters. Chad Harris brought up the Planet Aid drop off containers and said they are a mess. Mike Porter said those are not his. Tom Mikulski owns the property and he allowed them to be placed there. Chad Harris asked the hours of operation. Chad Harris said he has also had a problem with the kids from Porter’s throwing tin cans in his pond. He has gone to Mike Porter and talked to him but nothing has been done. Dave Kirk said the hours of operation in a C-2 are 24 hours and we can’t change it for just one business. If this ordinance passes it will apply to all of C-2. Mike Porter asked about a variance. Mark Manlove said there would be no variance. Mike Porter said we are not spot zoning. Mark Manlove said no this would be for all of the C-2 Districts. Mike Porter said he has been working on this since March and he knows the process. Porter said he wants to move forward he is running out of time. Mark Manlove told Mike Porter that the ordinance would have to pass by two thirds of the members of Council, if not passed on emergency it will take another thirty days to become effective. Bob Matson asked if there were any more comments. Judy Toth said we do not need another gas station. John Porter said we only have two gas stations and we should be fighting to keep businesses in town. Rich Hoffman and Mike Porter said we are fighting to compete with the Wal Marts of the world.
Bob Matson asked if anyone else had any more comments. There were no comments.
