COMMITTEE REPORTS.
1. Newsletter Committee. The Newsletter Committee reported that the newsletter would be provided to the printer on February 1.
2. Zoning. Recently there was the prevention of a clear cutting of trees by a new owner on Dake. The regulations suggest no trees may be cut down within a 50 distance from the lake except for
an appropriate view corridor.
An administrative review of NR115 indicates a possible strengthening of shoreline zoning by administrative rule rather than by the legislature.
The comprehensive plan and recodification of the zoning ordinance is expected by the year 2010 or 2011.
Mr. Pope suggested to the County Board that his lots in question on Limekiln Lake be zoned as residential lots, which suggestion is currently under consideration.
3. Mission Statement. President Jack suggested that the board adopt the wording used on the Articles of Incorporation as our Mission Statement. The board approved his suggestion. The Mission is preserving, protecting, and improving the unique spring-fed Chain O’Lakes and its surrounding environment for the benefit of present and future generations of residents and visitors.
4. Website. Board members reviewed the newly developed comprehensive website set up by Rick Hammen.
Enclosed is a summary of the Waupaca Chain O Lakes Association Board Committees, one list being by Committee and one list being by Board member names.
