2.                  Business Sign for Jones Sign Co located on Scheuring Road
Bob Johnson was present to propose a business sign for Jones Sign.  The sign proposed is 50 feet in height and consists of 612 sq. ft. on each side.  The sign includes a circular cabinet consisting of an additional 36 sq. feet.  Jones would like to place the sign far east on their property to enhance exposure from highway 41.  A motion was made by Skip Lee to deny the proposed sign because its size exceeds the town ordinance.  Seconded by John Krawczyk.  Discussion included that Jones can take the proposal to the Appeals Board.  The Town is working on revising the current sign ordinance.  Motion carried.

John Krawczyk stated this question is off the subject but asked Mr. Johnson about the outside storage at Jones Sign Co.  Krawczyk stated that representatives from Jones Sign indicated at a previous meeting that there was to be no outside storage and if there was, it would be near the building and not in the lot.  Mr. Johnson stated he would bring it to the attention of the owners.

3.                  Preliminary Plat for Fox River Meadows 2nd Addition
Steve Bieda from Mau & Associates was present to propose a preliminary plat for Fox River Meadows 2nd Addition.  The plat consists of 16 lots.  Mr. Bieda stated there will be a detention pond and he will come back to the board with the storm water management plan.  The restrictive covenants will be the same as the first addition and corner elevations will be on the final plat map.  A motion was made by John Krawczyk to recommend approval of the preliminary plan.  Seconded by Jim Van Gheem.  Motion carried unanimously.

4.                  Area Development Plan for area east of Lawrence Drive immediately south of the Lawrence/DePere boundary
Steve Bieda from Mau & Associates representing River City Realty, was present to propose an area development plan.  Mr. Bieda stated a meeting was held with the surrounding property owners in reference to the road pattern and they were in agreement.  A motion was made by John Krawczyk to recommend approval and move forward with a public hearing.  Seconded by Skip Lee.  Motion carried unanimously.

5.                  Preliminary Plat for Carpenter’s Crossing
Steve Bieda was present to propose a preliminary plat for Carpenter’s Crossing.  The plat consists of  51 lots.  The engineering is yet to be done on the storm water management.  The development will be in two phases with the first phase being those lots closest to Lawrence Drive.    A motion was made by Skip Lee to recommend approval of the preliminary plat for Carpenter’s Crossing contingent on approval of the Area Development Plan.  Motion seconded by Ron Blohowiak.  Motion carried unanimously.
