5. Public Hearing:
A. Joseph & Jean Feils and Todd & Marla Hubbard (Namakagon) – Rezone [ a
1-acre Tax (ID #04-034-2-43-06-20-1-05-002-30000), located in part of Gov’t Lot
2 in V. 999 P. 63, Section 20, Township 43 North, Range 6 West, Town of
Namakagon, Bayfield County, WI from Residential-2 to Residential-1]
Todd Hubbard spoke in support explaining he is the property owner and is
requesting that the Committee rezone the property from R-2 to R-1 so he could
build a garage. Miller asked why he would need a permit to build a garage,
Furtak stated the situation that is at hand is that this property is a 1.08 acre lot
and when you take the County Highway right of way out of the lot it is 0.878. In R-
2 zoning the minimum lot size is 4.5 acres with a survey or 5.0 acres by legal
description. When the Town of Namakagon adopted zoning they had a broad
brush and they painted this lot R-2 which requires a 30 foot setback for a garage.
Due to the topography of the lot there is one flat spot along the County highway
M. Just because this lot is so small it creates problems for future development,
this is the reason for the request. It will still not be sub dividable. File Report:
Furtak stated there is Town Board approval and they did review this with their
land use plan. There are no other letters of approval or disapproval. Miller asked
if he was on the water and the answer was no.
Discussion ended.
6. Adjournment of Public Hearing:
Miller made a motion to adjourn, Schultz seconded. Motion carried.
Adjourned at 4:08 pm.
7. Call to Order of Planning and Zoning Committee Meeting: Rondeau called the

Charles Jerome spoke in support stating he would like a home-based business,
he has taken over his father’s business and looking to relocate to a piece of
property already owned that was formerly a waste management recycling
building. He does not plan on having any gravel pits on the property. A few loads
of material and will keep noise to a minimum. Rondeau stated one neighbor
across the road is not an issue and the next closest neighbor is 4 or 5 miles
away. Jerome stated he has spoken with both of his neighbors and they do not
have issues and two of the neighbors already have home-based businesses.
Furtak stated that there is Town Board approval and it does meet their land use
plan. It is a home-based business so he would have to live on the property and
