Community House.
Committee Reports
Renovation Committee - Jim Kerr reported on the decisions of the
committee. The ceiling of the Community House will be raised,
the walls will be dry wall with wainscotting around the base of

Fundraising will be discussed at the May meeting.
Chris Monek reported that Our Savior Lutheran
Church/School has applied for expansion. BSCL was not consulted.
The county board deferred the decision for 4-5 months.
Conditions for approval consist of appointing a neighborhood
group as a task force. Their use permit will be reviewed in one
year. Chris volunteered to represent BSCL as a correspondent to
the county.
Neighborhood Conservation - David Michaelson reported on a
proposed county plan to improve 7th Road and park in order to
deal with an erosion problem. They will also add lights and
improve the turn-around. 8th Street is 99% complete. David
suggested that we write the county board to discourage future
turn-arounds. A question was raised regarded the new lamps on 8th
Street. David said that 50% of the block must agree to change
the lighting.
