9. Patrolman Report, Mt. Horeb Fire Department, Black Earth Fire District and District 1 EMS Reports Jack has finished cutting trees and all the roads have been broomed. The tractor is cleaned up and ready to trade in on our lease. Black Earth Fire District is coming in below budget and does not plan any increases to municipalities for 2022. 10. Road Bid Opening The budget for chip sealing this year is $170,964 The bid from Fahrner was $168,880.00 The bid from Scotts was $173,590.00 minus 3,600 if all the roads listed were done. As the town policy is to select the lower bid, Karen moved to approve the Fahrner bid for the chip sealing. Motion carried 5-0 11. Request for site specific exception for the 100' rule for replacing a grandfathered residence The Herrlings are requesting and exception to the 100' rule because the floodplain comes right to their front door. They would like to move the housing site further up the driveway to the location of the previous barn. While in general the planning commission wants to stick to the 100' rule, in this case 100 feet is not enough to move the residence out of the floodplain. The Herrlings will not require a new driveway, as the current driveway comes up to the house and continues up alongside the barn location. The house will simply move along the length of the existing drive. Scott made a motion to approve the site specific exception to the 100 ft rule. Motion carried 5-0. 12. Zoning change, driveway and homesite approval, 4710 Cedar Hill Lane, Aaron Carlock to be sold to Kyle and Jaime Carlock Karen recused herself as a property owner and Scott took over as chair for this item. The Carlocks are selling a portion of land to Aaron's brother. Scott made a motion to approve the rezoning of 9.27 acres, with 8.27 acres in FP1 and 1.07 acres to RR1. Motion carried 4-0-1. Doug added that this split is important to the town, as they are trying to maintain their Farmland Preservation acreage. Doug made a motion to approve the driveway permit and explained that the driveway had already been moved so that the lights from vehicles would not shine into the neighbors' house. The driveway permit was approved 4-0-1. Alex made a motion to approve the building envelope, and the motion was approved 4-0-1 13. Fire and EMS discussion The Village of Blue Mounds began this discussion by introducing a resolution to control the growing costs of MHFD. Karen felt that the resolution is well-intended but does not provide a real solution to the problem. The town board would like to have some dialogue with the MHFD board, possibly including a special meeting. John Coffin, as the representative to the board said that the concerns had been relayed to Jenny
