OLD BUSINESS: DANA EVANS COVERED BRIDGE DEVELOPMENT: „« Dana Evans stated that the Covered Bridges Development issue is important because she feels that the Town of Walworth people are not being listened to by the Board members. Dana stated she circulated a petition to address the proximity and density of the development. She stated the plan is not compatible with the local area. Dana stated that the developer will benefit financially and that it is not a reason to approve the development just because the land use is set up to approve future development. Dana stated that there is currently an annual growth of 1.6% in Walworth Township and it will increase to 5% growth if the Covered Bridges is approved. Dana pointed out that 33% of Walworth Township population will be in the Covered Bridges Development and that is too much growth in such a small area. Dana Evans presented a letter from Walworth State Bank dated July 6, 2007 indicating that they were funding the project.

Bob stated the villas were moved from the North Walworth Road area to the back of the development closer to Delavan Township changing the density to 202 units. Bob stated the water quality will be enhanced from what it is now by having tall grasses to filter run off, discharge time increased. Bill Pearce questioned as to if there were no curb and gutter where the water runoff will go. Bob stated that controlled discharge will runoff into retention ponds and through the culverts. Larry Austin wanted to talk about the Walworth State Bank issue. Larry stated that Bob had enough funding through the plat stage and that he would have to return to Walworth State Bank for further funding.

Torhorst has reviewed all the stipulations and plans and come up with a draft of suggestions.
