New single lot residential development requires two-acre parcels or larger and also must have 290 feet of frontage on an existing road.

2.    Obtain a Driveway and Culvert permit from David Owen, Town Chairman 715-853-3250.  Location of a driveway is to be established before obtaining a 911 address/fire number.  New culverts can be purchased through the town and delivered to the site.  A fee of $50 includes your new 911 sign, post and installation.
