The public hearing on the proposed amendments to the Village of Fredonia Comprehensive Plan 2020 was called to order at 7:00 p.m. The Plan Commission has recommended the following amendments to the Comprehensive Plan.

No comments were received on the proposed amendments.

The public hearing was closed and the regular village board meeting was called to order by President Hamm.

Page two, last sentence under "Request from School District to Broadcast Soccer Games on Public Access Channel" is changed to read "It was noted that if soccer games will be broadcast, the school board meeting could also be broadcast." With this change, the minutes of the March 2, 2006, village board meeting were approved on a MOTION by Waskiewicz, seconded by Short, and carried.

With the addition of a bill for WE Energies in the amount of $2,248.09, the general fund, water and sewer bills were approved for payment on a MOTION by Waskiewicz, seconded by Short, and carried.

The treasurer and utility reports were approved as presented on a MOTION by Waskiewicz, seconded by Kunstmann, and carried. The 2006 budget amount for the squad car reserve will be added next month to the reserve account balance.

The Northern Ozaukee Women’s Group was granted use of the Fredonia Fireman’s Park on May 20, 2006 for the village wide rummage sale, with the fee waived, on a MOTION by Dohrwardt, seconded by Kunstmann, and carried, with Waskiewicz abstaining.

Wegner stated that Ozaukee County requested additional information on the certified survey map that was approved by the Fredonia Village Board. The revised CSM now lists elevations, types of soil and designates shoreland. Outlot 1 is still bound to Lot 3. A MOTION was made by Waskiewicz, seconded by Short, to approve the revised certified survey map, dated March 1, 2006, as presented by Wegner. Motion carried.

Gary Long stated that a petition has been signed requesting a skatepark be built in Fredonia. Long noted that Billy Durham has offered his land for the park, but is requesting help from the village. Hamm stated that this will be referred to the Parks Committee.

Eric Liebergen stated that the school is requesting use of one cable access line. Everything that is broadcast would be taped. The village would incur no liability either in cost or programming if the village relinquishes the line to the school district. Time Warner will provide a free connection. A MOTION was made by Waskiewicz, seconded by Short, to grant one cable access line to the Northern Ozaukee School District with them having full autonomy but before broadcasting begins a written policy needs to be presented to the village board for review. In addition the village president is authorized to write a letter to Time Warner Cable relinquishing one line to the school district. Motion carried unanimously.

The proposed amendments to the comprehensive plan were discussed. It was clarified that Lot 29 and Lot 30 are still separate lots in the Forest Glen Subdivision. It was also discussed if the land north of Wenzel Avenue but east of the area that is being reclassified as residential, should also be designated residential. Because this was not discussed at the public hearing, this change will be reviewed at a later date.

Ordinance No. 2006-04 Amending the Village of Fredonia Comprehensive Plan – 2020 A MOTION was made by Waskiewicz, seconded by Kunstmann, to adopt Ordinance No. 2006-04 amending the Village of Fredonia Comprehensive Plan – 2020. This ordinance will incorporate the four land use changes as discussed during the public hearing. Motion carried.

A MOTION was made by Waskiewicz, seconded by Kunstmann, to adopt Ordinance No. 2006-01 rezoning the land north of Wenzel Avenue from A-1 (Agriculture) to Rs-2 (Single Family) and P-1 (Park). Motion carried with Dohrwardt opposed.

A MOTION was made by Waskiewicz, seconded by Dohrwardt, to adopt Ordinance No. 2006-04 rezoning Village Green South from A-1 (Agriculture) to Rs-1 (Single Family Residential), Rd-1 (Two-Family Residential) and Rm-1 (Multi-Family). Motion carried with Kunstmann and Laabs opposed.

A MOTION was made by Dohrwardt, seconded by Waskiewicz, to approve the preliminary plat for Village Green South. This will create two single-family lots, three two-family lots, and two multi-family lots. Architectural Control Board approval is required for any building permits. Laabs noted that area residents want the units to be owner occupied. Washburn stated that wording can be added to the covenants although this is not required under village ordinance. This will also be addressed in the developer’s agreement. Motion to approve the preliminary plat carried with Kunstmann and Laabs opposed.

(Billy Durham arrived regarding the skateboard park. Hamm explained that this has been sent to the Parks Committee for further review. Items to be discussed are where it would be and how it would be financed.)

Hamm reported that the Plan Commission approved a sign permit for the restaurant, and heard a presentation on proposed condo storage units on Meadowlark Road. Information on the condo storage units will be presented to the village board at their next meeting. Walter Wilsnack, Town of Saukville resident on Meadowlark Road, stated that the consensus of the town residents is the multiple buildings do not look nice, although they would not be opposed to one single larger building. They would also request that before any building started the perimeter of the lot be landscaped with trees and berms to make it look nice for the neighbors.

Kunstmann reported on the Parks Committee meeting. A chairperson was elected for the Celebrate Fredonia Committee. They discussed the budget for Celebrate Fredonia and are moving forward on organizing the event. Waskiewicz reiterated that the Lions Club and Jerry Shoemaker has done a tremendous job in the past and has already lined up entertainment for this year. The Fredonia Fire Fighter and EMS Association has also submitted names for committee members.

Neumann stated that because of recent law changes two three-row bleachers will be purchased instead of one five row bleacher. A MOTION was made by Waskiewicz, seconded by Kunstmann, to approve the purchase of two three-row bleachers not to exceed $3,600. Motion carried.

Fencing at Oak Park was then discussed. The agreement with Milwaukee N/C Machining for use of the park is a year-to-year agreement. The village crew will remove the existing fencing. It was questioned if a longer term agreement could be obtained. A MOTION was made by Laabs, seconded by Kunstmann, to award the fence contract to Century Fence in the amount of $9,065. Motion carried with Waskiewicz abstaining.

A MOTION was made by Dohrwardt, seconded by Kunstmann, to notice the public hearing for the proposed change to the zoning code. Motion carried with Palm, Kunstmann, Dohrwardt, and Laabs voting aye, Short and Waskiewicz voting nay, and Hamm abstaining.
