El The following communication was read: No. 13 Secretary Dale Cattanach Wd_sconsin Dept. of Transportation 4S02 Sheboygan Avenue Madison, WI 53702 Att, 120-B Hill Farms Dear Mr. Cattanach: FRIENDS OF THE -EAU CLAIRE LAKES, INC. Solon Springs, Wisconsin December 28, 1978 The purpose of this letter is to let you and others know of the reactions of our organi- zation to the State Department of Transportation's proposal to convert our Town of Barnes Pease-. Road into a state highway. We are strongly opposed to this proposal for the following reasons:. There is not a proven need at this time and present traffic levels do not predict an increasing need. We must not,permit the modification -or destruction of the Pease Road which presently is one of Wisconsin's most attractive and beautiful wild country drives. We must not permit needless spending of taxpayer's money to build a highway which would duplicate a state highway just ten miles to the East (Wis. 63) and would also parallel Wis. 27 just a few miles to the West. We must prevent the environmental damage which will occur should this proposal become a reality. We can anticipate: Increased noise pollution close to our beautiful Eau Clams e Chain of Lakes; Destruction of the natural beauty of the Pease Road Drive; Increased car and truch traffic which will tend to urbanize this rural area and spoil its recreational tone; An increase in population density which is already creating special problems in this area. In addition there are no known benefits to people in this area. It appears that alternative routes more favorable to the environment have not b"een explored. We would like to suggest, fo-r example, that as your department works on the problem of improving traffic flow to the Lake. Shore National Park, that it consider alternate routes that would have less negative impact on ours Eau Claire Lakes area. Highway 27 has already been zoned commercial; the proposed route would . by-pass this area to the East'and go through non-commercial zones. Why not stay with Wis. 27 to approximately its junction with County N and then head NE to Co: A and Iron River? This is just on'.e of several alternatives. Let me point out again that residents here are much concerned about your department's pro- posal. Our organization has taken the position it will require an environmental impact study. In. the meantime we will be glad to meet with highway officials to discuss and exchange points of view. We would surely appreciate your reconsideration of your proposal and would welcome an opportunity to be heard further. Sincerely. - Edwin B. Wenzel Vice President Moved by Bromberg, seconded by Spears to receive the foregoing communication and place it oil file. Motion carried. Februa 6 1979. No. 14 Al Prerost, Bayfield, appeared before the Board to notify them that he is still interested in purchasing the Sanatorium. He stated that he would like to sit down with the Board or some members to decide on a purchase price. No:.l5 William Bussey,,Distr,iet Attorney, gave a status report on the.Sanatorium. He explained to the Board that he has prepared a purchase agreement which he had intended to have ready for consideration by the Board at the February meeting. However, the District Attorneys of Ashland and Iron Counties have not had a chance to meet with their county board committees to discuss the agreement and as it appears to be in the best interest of all three counties that an identical agreement be presented to each county, he suggested that no action be taken at the February meeting. Clerk Pajala informed the board that Bayfield County has atleast three other parties interested in purchasing the Sanatorium from Bayfield County. He stated that it was very likely that when the time came for offering the property for sale it would be re -advertised rather than negotiating a sale with any one party.

Heavy local public use occurs on Bass Lake off Forest Road 1866 leading to the old C.C.C. Camp. National Forest shoreline ownership in this area consists of enough land for a boatlanding. Consequently, most of the use by the public occurred on private shoreline as acts of trespass. With the land in National Forest ownership, the local public will be able to use the shoreline in a legal manner. 2. National Forest ownership will allow the Forest Service to consider the type of use occurring and be better able to plan for handling, 3. One half mile of property line establishment and maintenance will be eliminated through this consolidation. 4. National Forest ownership will be consolidated. 5. Much needed developable Lakeshore,will be acquired permitting the -Forest Service to better plan and provide for a high quality recreation experience when the public demand arises.
