James Krueger, Town Supervisor for the Town of Namakagon stated he is not speaking
in opposition but asks the Committee that this item be tabled. There are 3 short term
rentals that do not state where they are, or what they are. No one came to the meeting to
identify what was going on. Rondeau asked how many rentals are on that property now
and Krueger stated he does not know and that is what they want to find out. Furtak
stated that the town should rehear this and Dennis Howard who runs the Garmisch USA
next door has the first right of refusal to purchase this property. He indicated that it was
going to be closing soon, which is not true; there is an offer in the mail. The owner has
not received this offer yet and the owners would like to go ahead with this application,
Furtak thinks this should go back to the town board. Rondeau asked if Dennis is making
an offer to buy the property and Furtak what he understands is that there is possibly an
offer in the mail but no one has seen the offer yet.
