Petition Presented For Lakeside Lane Paving

There were several persons present to speak on the paving of Lakeside Lane.  They also presented a petition for the Town to pave Lakeside Lane.  After much discussion, the petitioners were told their request would be taken to committee for consideration and price investigation.  The road would need to be brought up to town specs before it can be paved.

Under Public Comments later in the meeting, the spokesman for the Lakeside Lane request asked when they might be contacted as to a decision on paving Lakeside Lane, but at this point a definitive answer was not possible.

There was also a complaint about a garbage mess on a property on Molly Four Road.  The complainant said there have been complaints filed on it in the past and nothing has been done, and added it is creating an awful stench with the warm weather and is also drawing many unwanted animals. 

Present for the meeting were supervisors Supervisors Richard Belanger, Jeff Franzmeier, Andrew Rogers and Jim Stradal, Treasurer Shari Uhazie, and Clerk Elaine Olson, along with 21 others.  Town Chair Mike Kudick was excused, and Rogers     chaired the meeting.

Supervisors agreed that some of the “No Parking” signs on Karen Drive will be moved to insure that property owners have access to their property.

Discussion on a presented Breech of Tennant Agreement, accompanied by a request for revocation of a liquor license and granting of a new one resulted in scheduling a special meeting to grant a liquor license, with the request to  be referred to Attorney Kim Coggins when he returns from vacation.

The special meeting was later scheduled for 6 p.m. on Thursday, May 25.
