David Landecker from Landecker and Associates and Brian Engen, John Fogerty, Matt Balmer and Jeff Balmer, representing Lands End, were in attendance to discuss the development proposal for Boyds Lodge. Also in attendance were approximately 26 residents with concerns regarding the redevelopment.

Mr. Landecker gave an overview of the current zoning of the property, presenting several maps with an overview of the property. The Lands End developers explained that the proposal would make the area a Common Interest Community. The developers presented several illustrations of the proposed single family units which could be included in a rental pool or have fractional unit ownership.

Some of the concerns of residents in attendance included: docking plans, water access, placement of the septic and drain fields, landscaping plans, interval ownerships impact on both road and water traffic, density issues, impact on the wetlands and placement of the proposed restaurant.

The developers stated they planned on no additional docking than what was currently in place. Also, they felt that the proposed development would be consistent with the current density at Boyds Lodge. Lands End agreed to consider all recommendations presented by the public when presenting their final proposal to the County. Kathy Limmerman requested the Board suggest an Environment Impact Worksheet be completed before moving forward. With the information that has been provided, the Board disagreed with the suggestion.

The Road and Bridge report was as follows:

1. Supervisor Brandt reported that the last mowing of the season was nearly complete.
2. Brandt advised the Board that the 2007 road construction was completed by Anderson Brothers with very few problems.
3. The flag pole has been installed by the maintenance department at Station 2.
4. Brandt reported on road issues with Birchdale Villa, Old Whiskey Road and Wabigoniss.
5. Brandt reported on two separate requests for the township to take over newly constructed roads. The developers have been advised of several repairs that were necessary before the township would consider taking over the maintenance of either road.
6. The Kehring Cartway damages have been received and now the easement needs to filed with the County and damages paid by the clerk to the six individuals named in the Resolution.
7. Fawn Lake Road has been completed. The DNR billed the township $3,300 for the road easement and one individual refused to sign over the easement. Brandt explained the property would be obtained through eminent domain in the second instance.
8. There were no safety incidents

The Fire Department report was as follows:

1. There was 4 emergency runs the previous month.
2. Ken Stoltman requested the Board approve the Mutual Aid Agreement. Brandt agreed to review the document and respond at a later date as he just recently received a copy.
3. Stoltman requested a time line on purchasing a Pumper/Tanker for Station 2.
4. There were no safety incidents.

Stoltman gave an estimate of approximately $350,000 for the new truck. The Board believed the purchase would be made in 2009 or 2010.

Dale Orred presented a generous donation to the Fire Department for Station #2 with the Boards thanks.

There was nothing new to report for Park and Recreation.

The Transfer Station report was as follows:

1. Brandt suggested the township purchase the aluminum container, which is currently rented.
2. Hours of operation at the Station are now Wednesdays and Saturdays, 8am to 5pm.

There being no further business to transact, the meeting adjourned at 9:02 pm.
