The meeting was called to order. Murphy moved to approve the minutes of the
July 2, 2007 meeting, Schutte seconded, motion
passed.
Jerome & Marian Buol - Sold land and kept
66 feet for a right of way for a gravel farm access road. The plan commission advised them
that they do not need a permit for a farm access road. If they were to build a
home then they would need a permit.
John &
Kathie DiNovella - add .10 of an acre to their
existing property and rezone the .10 of an acre from Ag to AR-1. Schutte moved to approve the rezone. Schmidt seconded,
motion carried. They are planning on
building a shed on the property this fall and a house in the spring. They will
have to go through the county to get a variance to build their shed first. Hottmann motioned
to approve them to build a shed first. Schutte
seconded, motion carried. They owe $250.00 for the rezone.
Sue Mellum - She has 7.5 acres and 5 acres has to be zoned back
to AG, put back into forest management and the Mellum
family name. She then has 2.5 acres that she can build. After 8 years the 5
acres of land would go back into Sue's name and taken out of forest
management. She would then own the whole
7.5 acres. She is asking for a variance for her to build on the 2.5 acres for
now. The plan commission suggested dividing up her and her brother's land
differently so that she will have a 5 acre parcel to build on now. Schmidt
motioned to rezone the land from AR-1 to Ag if required and to reconfigure the
lot lines. Schutte seconded, motion passed. Certified
Survey Map No. 412.
Sunset
clause/change of ownership - do we eliminate the conditional use after a set
time so one piece of property doesn't get too many uses over a number of years.
A time frame could be part of the conditional use policy. The township fee is
currently $250.00 for a conditional use permit. If a person is to have a rezone
the fee is $250. Wright motioned for the
Town Board to back charge people for a conditional use fee if we over looked it
and did not charge them. Also he recommends the new fee schedule of: if a
person is to do a rezone and conditional use at the same time the fee would be
$300.00. Murphy seconded, motion carried.
The
September 3 meeting date will be moved to Tuesday, September 4.
Hottmann
motioned to adjourn. Murphy seconded, motion passed.
