Rondeau stated this is west of Cable by the ball park. Jardine asked if on the application if the reasons for the extension are on there. Page 2 of 4 ZC Planning and Zoning Public Hearing and Meeting – October 17, 2013 Folsom stated to extend our coverage area. Schierman added that included in the packet are the coverage areas as it exists. Folsom added to Schierman’ statement that their tower is there with Verizon, Verizon is at the top and 145 is where we have to be, this was we can move our equipment up to 140. The reason we are applying for 260 is it gives us 10 feet over the actual structure so that if Bayfield County Emergency Management chooses to put an antennae at the very top it would fit under this proposal. Miller asked about clearing area around for collapse. Folsom stated it is a self-collapse tower made to fall within 50% of area and the land it is on is owned by Town of Cable, leased property.

Jardine is hesitant to vote on this without Town Board approval. Jardine motioned to postpone. Miller seconded. No further discussion. Motion carried. Bill Yudchitz, owner of the property directly across the street on Silver Ridge, stated he didn’t understand that he got his very first notification now, and it seems like it has gone to a second area, will he be able to talk on this? Rondeau stated to go to the Town Board and that is the best bet. It will be in the business section so no input. Yudchitz asked where he can go to get more info; County website has no building plans. Murphy stated elevations are available on the webpage attached to the agenda. 11. Other Business D. N/A 12. Monthly Report Schierman stated in August they collected $21,845 in fees, issued 58 land use permits and 23 sanitary permits, which is behind August 2012. Jardine recalls not too long ago that the municipalities when applying for permits where free from fees and now it is back, what is that all about. Schierman asked if he would like this as an agenda item next month, reply was yes. Furtak does not recall this either, they are exempt from state fees. Schierman added that they charge departments within the County fees, and other departments charge us for things they do for us, guess it is showing where money comes from and where it ends up. Jardine understands just would like to know when they didn’t charge Towns. Schierman will do research on this. Rondeau stated this may stem from the Visitor Center when they never paid fees.
