The minutes of the September meeting were approved as read.

Tim Kane gave an overview and explanation of the process of public hearings. He suggested having a meeting to inform the public on what the Comprehensive Land Use Committee has proposed for the future use of Town of Barnes lands. The map as drawn up by the committee would be explained and the rationale for the decisions would be presented. The committee would then take the comments and suggestions from this public meeting and revise the mapping if necessary and then have a second meeting with the public. Before this second meeting, the map would be available on-line at the Town of Barnes web site, Bayfield County web site and Cedar Corporation’s web site.

Kane said that the property owners must agree to zoning changes and “no taking of land” [as it may be years..............] before zoning matches up with the proposed land use map.
