Commission–Park Plan for CTH CB/East Shady Ln.
Adm. Pat DeGrave, Comm.
Dev. Dir. George Dearborn and Parks/Rec. Dir. Ron Krueger presented a
conceptual plan in order to stimulate park growth on the northeast corner CTH
CB and E. Shady Ln. A short history was
given of the 63 acres of land, the years of planning for commercial property
and the eventual stoppage of this development in favor of a town park at the
2001 Annual Town meeting where over 100 citizens present voted to save the
development as a town park.
A PowerPoint presentation was presented to the
attending townspeople showing a conceptual development plan for approx. 44 lots
for single-family homes along with a water detention basin that could also be a
duck pond.
Strong objections were
voiced by Roy Kuehn, Jerry Sitter, Glen Allen, Mike Lynch, Sherrie Bencik and
Tom McGee. They stated they wanted the
entire 63 acres to remain parkland.
Chairman Tews asked the
audience for a show of hands for or against the entire 63 acres remaining park
and against the conceptual development plan.
The show of hands was over-whelmingly in favor of keeping the entire
acreage as park.
Resident Doug Eckholm, Lakeshore Dr., asked
about the recent study with the S.P.E.E.D. trailer. Deputy Police Chief, Rod McCants stated he would inform Mr.
Eckland via phone regarding this issue.
