Mr. Arnold Beihoffer presented his request to construct a home that would be 100
feet from the centerline of CTH "C" and 50 feet from the Apple River, explaining
the reasons for wanting to build in this location.
Questions by members of the board. Zoning Administrator read letter from D.N.R.
stating that the permit for new construction cannot be given for a 50 foot setback
from the water as there is no hardship in this case, and he has other areas on the
lot to construct a home that would meet all requirements.
Mr. Steven Breault presented his request to have a holding tank on his parcel of
land, explaining the reasons for the holding tank.
Jack Breault feels that if the maintenance of the culvert on the.town road was proper
there would be no flooding problems in the area.
Thomas Schumacher, Attorney for the Township, presented their objections. The Town
has correspondence from D.N.R. stating they cannot remove materials from the culvert.
If they do remove the materials, they would be in violation of D.N.R. regulations.
In order to fill any wet areas, permits have to be received from the US Corps of
Engineers.
The Town Board requests that the request be denied.
Steven Breault rebutted the remarks of Attorney Schumacher.
Jack Breault is confused as to why the culvert cannot be cleaned out.
Mr. Schumacher rebutted the remarks of Mr. Breault, explaining the Town of Hammond's
position.
Paul Chapin, former Town Clerk, stated that a building permit was given without
dimensions.
Attorney Schumacher would like to have the minutes show the reason for approval or
denial, so that the courts will know.
Greg Gillis stated that Mr. Breault had the sanitary permit revoked due to the
highwater and so was the building permit revoked.
Emmett O'Connell, Town Board Chairman, stated that a culvert was on the Sam Morrow
property and was damaged by a road grader and required replacement.
Hearing recessed so the board could go into executive session to discuss the requests.
