AT THE NEXT TOWN BOARD MEETING I REPORTED THE PROBLEM OF THE STAND AND WE CONTINUED TO PURSUE INFORMATION FROM THE COUNTY ZONING AND TRAFFIC DEPARTMENTS. ON MAY 10, 1988, CURT ROEMING HAD REQUESTED HIS NAME BE PLACED ON OUR AGENDA. THE PUBLIC NOTIC, THEREFORE CARRIED HIS NAME, BUT THERE WERE NO DETAILS AS TO THE ISSUE HE WISHED TO DISCUSS. WHEN HIS TURN CAME, HE STOOD AND SAID THAT HE WAS REQUESTING THAT THE BOARD APPROVE THE OPERATION OF A MINATURE GOLF COURSE ON HIS PROPERTY. I RAISED THE IMMEDIATE ISSUE OF SAFETY AND ASKED THAT HE MOVE THE STAND BACK. HE RESPONDED THAT HE ENCOURAGED PEOPLE TO PARK OFF THE ROAD. HE SEEMED UNDECIDED AS TO EXACTLY WHAT KIND OF OPERATION HE WOULD EVENTUALLY HAVE AND MENTIONED THAT HE MAY NOT CHARGE FOR THE KIDS TO PLAY GOLF. MANY OF THE PEOPLE THAT LIVE ADJACENT TO 6476 LAKE ROAD WERE IN THE AUDIENCE FOR ANOTHER ISSUE. THEY DID HOWEVER, VOICE THEIR OPPOSITION TO HIS PROPOSAL. HIS NEXT APPEARANCE WAS BEFORE OUR PLAN COMMISSION ON MAY 23, 1988. THIS WAS ALSO OUR PUBLIC HEARING. WHILE I WAS UNABLE TO ATTEND THE MEETING, OUR PLAN COMMISSION MINUTES SAY THAT THE OPERATION WAS NOW DESCRIBED AS AN OUTDOOR AMUSEMENT PARK AND LIGHTED MINATURE GOLF COURSE. HE SAID HE PLANNED FOR OFF STREET PARKING. THE MINUTES ALSO REFLECT THAT "MANY RESIDENTS OF THE LAKE WINDSOR AREA APPEARED IN OPPOSITION CITING CHILD AND TRAFFIC SAFETY AS MAJOR CONCERNS." THEY ULTIMATELY VOTED TO RECOMMEND DENIAL OF HIS PROPOSAL. OUR PUBLIC NOTICE FOR THE JUNE 14, 1988 MEETING INCLUDED CURT ROEMING'S NAME AND THE PURPOSE OF HIS PROPOSAL. AS A RESULT, THERE WERE MANY LOCAL RESIDENTS IN ATTENDANCE. HOWEVER, WE WERE REQUESTED BY CURT ROEMING TO HOLD THE PETITION IN ABEYANCE. WE RECEIVED NO OTHER INFORMATION. THEREFORE, WE PASSED A MOTION TO HOLD IT IN ABAYANCE AT THE OWNER'S REQUEST, AND INSTRUCTED OUR CLERK TO NOTIFY YOUR COMMITTEE OF THE SAME. ON WEDNESDAY, JUNE 15, I RECEIVED THE COUNTY NOTICE FOR THE APPLICATION FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT. THE FRONT HAS STAMPED "PERSORT FIRST CLASS MAIL DATED APRIL 19, 88 AND ACROSS THE END IS ANOTHER METERED STAMP WITH NO AMOUNT DATED JUNE 14 88. ON THURSDAY I RECEIVED A CALL FROM A LOCAL RESIDENT SAYING THAT THERE WAS A PETITION REQUESTING APPROVAL OF THIS CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT SITTING ON THE COUNTER OF OUR LOCAL STORE AND THAT ALL OF THE KIDS WERE SIGNING IT. ON FRIDAY, I RECEIVED A CALL FROM ANOTHER LOCAL RESIDENT WHO HAD BEEN IN ATTENDANCE OF OUR TUESDAY NIGHT MEETING IN ANTICIPATION OF BEING ABLE TO SPEAK OUT AGAINST THE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT. HE SAID THAT HE HAD HEARD THAT CURT ROEMING HAD ATTENDED THE COUNTY MEETING AND HAD PRESENTED THE PETITION AS EVIDENCE THAT ALL OF THOSE SIGNING HAD WANTED YOU
