ZONING:
Sawyer County Zoning submitted a proposed Ordinance Amendment for combined amount of “park model trailer” and “camping cabins” in licensed campgrounds. The choices were 30%, 50% or 100%. The Comprehensive Planning Commission met on October 6, 2025 and recommended the Board choose 30%.
MOTION: Moved by Cummings; 2nd by LeBlanc to go with the 30% option to combine the amount of PARK MODEL TRAILERS & CAMPING CABINS per number of sites; all in favor by a 3-0 vote; motion carried.
Our comment to the County was that we stand behind our Resolution No. 2025-02, previously sent, opposing the 30% elimination.
OLD BUSINESS:
The Recycle Ordinance was reviewed by Czarnecki and she found some changes that needed to be made.
MOTION: Moved by Czarnecki; 2nd by Cummings to accept the AMENDED ORDINANCE NO. 2025-02; all in favor on a 3-0 vote; motion carried. Amended ordinance removes items that are not currently allowed by our waste recycler.
The Clerk received additional cost suggestions from the DOT for Twin Bay Road and Sandy Point Road STP GRANT APPLICATIONS. Once the changes are made and reviewed, they will be sent to the proper DOT department for approval.
The ROUND LAKE FIRE & EMR CONTRACT proposal in the amount of $33,250 was discussed. A counter proposal of $28,500 plus 2% Fire Dues was sent to them for their October meeting.
A SHIPPING CONTAINER ORDINANCE was discussed and it was decided not to create one at this time.
NEW BUSINESS
MOTION: Moved by Cummings; 2nd by LeBlanc to RESCIND RECYCLE ORDINANCE NO. 2020-03; all in favor on a 3-0 vote; motion carried. Ordinance No. 2025-02 replaced this ordinance.
