Public Hearing #1

Ordinance to Extend Town Officer Terms in Response to Election Law Changes

After reading through the ordinance to extend officer terms for one full week in April of 2013 to coincide with new election law changes, there was no discussion. Marilyn Jaeger move to adjourn the public hearing, Curt Moen 2nd. Motion carried.

Public Hearing #2

Amend Ordinance #11-1 Driveway Permit Ordinance

There is a $500.00 nonrefundable fee collected on a driveway permit which goes into the Land Conservation Fund. There is an additional $500.00 nonrefundable fee collected when applying for a building permit. In other words, fees for a new home would be $1000.00. The Board is considering eliminating the fee for the Driveway Permit. Dan Truttmann pointed out that the Plan Commission is trying to build up a reserve fund, the Land Conservation Fund, for rural land, but right now, or course, development is slow. Another thought is that farm driveways or other business driveways, do not have the same impact on the Town as residential developments, so maybe those permits could be exempt from the additional $500.00. Curt Moen stated that the PC sent the recommendations to the Board and the Board did accept them, and Curt would like to see the ordinance stay as it is. Steve Hermanson, on the other hand, would like to see the $500.00 removed from the Driveway Permit. After some discussion, Curt Moen move to adjourn the public hearing, Eric Peterson 2nd the motion. Motion Caried.
