• Mike Laux, 1481 Deerwood Drive, Neenah. The two auto repair shops have re-graded within the last two years and now the water runs toward his lot. Brent Popp also has this issue. The greatest concern is if these lots are blacktopped the water will run directly into their properties. The suggestion is that the auto repair shops dig a drainage ditch to catch the water. Put on the agenda in April, notify the neighbors.

i. Conditional Use Permit, 4C Storage LLC, 202 Rockwood Lane – Supervisor DeKeyser moved to approve the recommendation from the Plan Commission, Supervisor Winkler seconded. Approved: 4/0.

e. NE Region Programming Unit Highway Safety Improvement Program 2010 submittal (April 1, 2009) – It was suggested that the town doesn’t have any roads that qualify for this.
