How are you?

SPEAKER_01 0:00

I'm doing good. I'm doing good. I'm sorry I missed the last meeting. I um was out of town. Uh went to visit the family. Yeah. So I'm just I'm I'm just trying to clarify. Um so the um the moratorium had some language about the height. It was about 10 feet, and you said that you felt like there should be more time thinking about what the height should be. Are you referring to that language should have been thought out more in the moratorium?

SPEAKER_00 0:25

So the moratorium, as it was written, was general. That we're putting a moratorium and we're gonna review the code and make adjustments. And there was a condition added in that the height will be reduced to 16 feet. And I felt that the town board should be a little bit um think through it a little bit longer before establishing a height. Because I'm not sure sixteen feet is the right height for, in particular, like a subdivision, uh a highly densely populated area. Sure. Sixteen feet is pretty high. It is pretty high.

SPEAKER_01 1:09

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 1:10

Yeah, so that's the reason why I voted no for it. Now, it it's a little bit convoluted here, Benjamin, because I am one hundred percent in agreement that we need to change the the law, the code.

SPEAKER_01 1:22

Right. Too many.

SPEAKER_00 1:23

I didn't I didn't like how we added a height requirement, and that's the reason I voted no. So ultimately, I I was talking to Randy Reslaff and and others on the board. I think we are gonna look at it holistically. So we're gonna end up in a in a good spot. It's just we we couldn't, I guess, see eye to eye during the meeting, and that's the only reason I I voted no.

SPEAKER_01 1:51

Were you aware of the moratorium before the meeting? I mean, did you have a chance to go and put in your input?

SPEAKER_00 1:56

I mean, um what yeah, the mor the moratorium it was uh written in to the actual agenda. Yeah, terms were added to it during the meeting meeting, and I didn't agree with the terms that were being added to it.

SPEAKER_01 2:12

I see, I completely understand. Okay. See, this is why I go to every meeting and try to get recordings and stuff like that, because things happen at these meetings so you don't always know. So by the agenda and stuff like that. Yeah. Alright. Okay, well, cool. I mean, uh, yeah, I did talk to uh to Supervisor McSwan the other day, to Don the other day, and um he was already in a meeting with uh Mr. Jordan and uh uh the attorney Brooks, to Matt Matthew Brooks, and um he said that you know maybe they'll be um you know just getting a head start of what I'm gonna be writing in my article, um, that maybe some some changes will be made quite soon. So I hope that satisfies you.

SPEAKER_00 2:49

Um Yes, it does. Yeah, we we gotta make the change quick because people are always wanting to put up jets. So we wanna c we wanna come to a quick resolution for sure.

SPEAKER_01 3:00

Awesome, awesome. Do you do you feel like there's any chance of the town getting in trouble by limiting height or anything like that? Just out of curiosity. I'm not I didn't really get into this, but I mean that the I I I assume that the moratorium is legal because it was voted by the town board and Matt like made it up for it for you guys, but um yeah. I don't know. I just wonder if there's a possibility. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 3:23

I I think some people might not be uh in I'm I mean there was people there at the meeting that were not in favor of the moratorium because they wanted to put up a shed now. Right. You know what I mean? So those are the people that uh might not like the decision. Now, could we get in trouble by changing the law? I don't think so because it's not like we would go back and for somebody who already put up a shed. Right. Um, you know, they they followed the law at the time. So so there would be no repercussions for people that already already have their application in or already have a shed installed. You can make it. It would only be those going forward.

SPEAKER_01 4:06

That that's a good point there, there, Kurt. That is very interesting. You're right. Absolutely. So people are being grandfathered in, you know, nobody's gonna get in trouble for building a shed. It's just in hopefully in what is a very short amount of time, the law will be re-established and people can go on building their their buildings at to the preferred height of the of the town officials and the town for everybody. Yeah. Because I did know that some people were very anxious about like having their privacy invaded by like these huge buildings. Like even three-story buildings are pretty high when you're living in a ranch. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_00 4:39

I mean, yeah, that's the whole reason why the moratorium went into place is because a building went up and and it it actually was higher, and we started to get complaints from nearby residents, and the town board agreed that you know it it it should not be allowed moving forward to be that high. So that's the whole reason for the change.

SPEAKER_01 5:03

Do you know what where that where that that that that that building went up by any chance?

SPEAKER_00 5:08

Uh I don't know the exact address. It is like if you are at the corner of Whitmer Road and Jagau, I'm not sure if you're familiar with that.

SPEAKER_01 5:23

I I know both names. I'm just not sure if I know exactly what it what it is that they're intersecting.

SPEAKER_00 5:28

So Okay, so Whitmer is the road that ends at where Oppenheim Park is. Right. And uh Jagau it it's probably about less than a half mile from there as you head into Wheatfield.

SPEAKER_01 5:44

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 5:45

And uh it it would be on the right side. Um so when you turn on to Jagau and look right, you'll you'll see the building pr pretty uh pretty there, clear as day.

SPEAKER_01 5:56

Alright, maybe I'll take a drive by there, get a picture or something like that, just to illustrate the problem that we're trying to solve here.

SPEAKER_00 6:03

So Yeah, I I mean it is um I I don't know the I don't know how much you I would recommend highlighting it. And this is just my personal opinion because the person that put up that shed, he followed the law. Right. And I don't want to make him uh you know look.

SPEAKER_01 6:20

Okay, maybe not, maybe not. So it was just a shed, a shed a a large shed that was sixteen feet high, high, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 6:28

Well, it's twenty feet high and it's seventy-six feet long. So that that's why I'm saying you won't miss it. It's huge.

SPEAKER_01 6:36

My dad put up like uh something like that that on his property. He hasn't had any trouble with it, but um he was trying to go and put like uh a mechanism where the doors would open it more more uh quickly. He ended up buying this uh old piece of machinery and it was so rusted, it was so uh it was all iron, he just put it to a bucket of oil and just like left it there for like almost a a few months, I think, to go and get it to work. And I don't know, I don't know if he was successful with it, but those big those big sheds uh they need a lot of work to uh to keep up. You know. Oh really? I didn't know that. Yeah, because well, I mean the doors are too too big. And um, you know, you're trying to go and get equipment and tools and everything out everything out there, like it it can get pretty uh cumbersome. Or maybe my dad's just a nut for for for innovation. You never know. With him. Alright, Kurt, I I uh thanks for talking to me. I um I'll see you at the next meeting, presumably, if nothing goes wrong. And um I hope you have a very nice day.

SPEAKER_00 7:34

Anytime. Alright, we'll see you soon.

SPEAKER_01 7:36

See you soon. Thanks, Kurt. Bye.
