Mrs. Rita Kasinskas presented their request to construct a dog kennel on their property.
The kennel will be for their personal use. They raise and sell A.K.C. registered dogs.

Mr. Henrik Van Dyk presented the request of Park Broadcasting to construct a tower on
40 acres of land. Robert Burns, Elliot Anderson, Mike Waggoner, and Dr. John Dubois
were introduced to the Board. Supervisor Stephens read a letter on character of the
development of the tower. Cost of the tower is estimated at $350,000. The tower and
maintenance building will be enclosed with an 8 foot chain link fence. • Mike Waggoner
explained the tower construction and how it would collapse within itself in any type
of situation. Dr. Dubois explained the tower and how it is needed. Robert Burns
explained the location of the tower. It is the only site that could be located far_
enough away from the river, railroad, and highway according to F.A.A. regulations.
Questions by members of the Board. Mr. Ed Schachtner, Town Board member, has no objec-
tions to the tower. John Nelson, adjoining landowner had questions on the tower and
land values of adjoining property, lighting of the tower, and constructing a road to
his property. Robert Gabrich objected to the tower for sight reasons, aesthetic reasons,
and ecology reasons. Jean Gabrich opposed the tower stating she would see it ab. night,
last thing, and wake up to see it in the morning. Jake Vander Voort, DNR, said he can
find nothing in DNR regulations to prevent construction of the tower. He said some birds
do fly into the tower, but they are not on the endangered species. DNR is neither in
favor or objects to the tower. Lee Kellaher is a .pilot, and feels that strobe lights
on the upper portion of the tower are really necessary. Gerald Plourde, County Board
member, asked about zoning the parcel to Commercial. He was informed that radio and
television towers cannot be in the Commercial District.
