Variance by Bachand for additional camper trailer on Big Woods Lane. Plan Committee advised that they were not in favor of this as the application only said they wanted their friends/family to be near and that since they have almost 4 acres they did not feel it was an issue. The family showed up and they spoke to the board about a family member not having much time left as she has been sick and wanting to spend time with her grandchildren. Motion to allow the extra camping trailer a short time until December 30, 2026 and then it would need to be removed by Chairman Younglove and seconded by Supervisor Groy. Motion carried.

A public comment was that the blind person signs on Krueger Road can be taken down as the lady moved to Wausaukee since her husband passed away.
