The Minutes of the Wednesday, July 5, 2017 meeting were read by Terri Nipple. A motion to approve the minutes was made by Bubenzer, seconded by Yates. The minutes were approved as read.
New Business
- Curt Moen reported that a Land Transfer by Robert Schaefer has closed. Moen has not yet received the papers from Attorney Ralph Farrell, but the attorney told Moen in a telephone call that all dwelling unit allotments will transfer with the land.
- Ron Syse was present at the meeting. He is selling his 213 acre farm to Ryan and Julie Syse. All 10 dwelling unit allotments will transfer with the land. Bubenzer motioned to advance the proposal to the Town Board with a favorable recommendation. The motion was seconded by Miranda. Motion passed.
- Jim and Jean Schiller were present at the meeting to inquire about a land purchase they are considering making. They are considering purchasing additional parcels on County A. Questions about the process were answered by Moen. Schillers also questioned the Plan Commission regarding tax parcel 23007. The Dwelling Unit Allotment Data Base does not reflect a Dwelling Unit Allotment on this parcel. The Plan Commission determined that they should have one (1) Dwelling Unit Allotment on this parcel. Bubenzer made a motion to request an update by Dawn Doran regarding the Dwelling Unit Allotment. Seconded by Miranda. Motion passed.
Old Business
- The Plan Commission discussed concerns regarding updating of the Dwelling Unit Allotments on the Township website. The Plan Commission firmly believes that allowing Dawn Doran to post updates on the website without going through the webmaster would be a benefit to the Township. Moen will talk to the Town Board.
- Moen decided to table the item on the agenda regarding specifications for a private driveway bridge. Moen stated that he would try to consult with the County Highway Commissioner before the next meeting.
Miranda made a motion to adjourn the meeting at 8:55 P.M. Seconded by Yates. Meeting adjourned by Moen.
The next meeting will be held on September 5, 2017.
(Respectfully submitted by Terri Nipple, York Plan Commission Secretary).
