Discussion with the Town Patrolmen. Lockman said to put oil on the roads we are doing right now. They have been mowing the roadsides. We had to put a 4-wheel drive sensor in the tractor. Denruiter motioned to pay Tim Meudt $50 for clean sweep help. Gauger seconded, motion passed.

Ingmar Nelson - a deed restriction would be put on the 6.512 acres to make sure the cabins couldn't be sold individually. Getting an easement and driveway permit is not a problem. Keeping the drive assessable in the winter? He has two plows and a bobcat. Rental duration period would be 3 months according to the Plan Commission. Allsum's will provide a letter for the driveway. Lucey still rather the rezoning to AR1. Nelson doesn't think AR1 is the right direction and doesn't want to do it. Can he make the cabins smaller? Denruiter thinks we are moving too fast and is not comfortable with it. Lucey's major concern is do we want to rezone to AR1 or RB1? Gauger has a problem with the size of the cabin plan. Lucey is concerned about the deed restriction standing up in court. Zoning and Planning has approved it twice. Gauger motioned to approve the rezoning of 6.512 acres from A1 to RB1 with the following conditions: the A frame can only be rented out for a max of 3 months at a time, both driveways have to be brought up to Town standards, there must be a deed restriction on the 6.512 acres, no other new construction can be put on the land until it is brought before the board. If the cabins are not started being constructed within 12 months of approval from County Zoning then the zoning goes back to A1. There is the possibility of one six month extension. Lucey seconded, motion passed. There is a $250 fee.

Gauger motioned to approve the bills as presented. Denruiter seconded, motion passed.

The bill for clean sweep was $3162 with our income it ended up costing us $1581.

Lucey motioned to adjourn. Gauger seconded, motion passed.
