Regular Meeting                              May 14, 2013   

Crow Wing Town Hall                    6:00 p.m.

Board Members Present: Chairman Greg Smith, Supervisors Mark Platta and Dave Schultz, Clerk Virginia Rogers and Treasurer Susan Goodew.  

Greg  called the meeting to order and the pledge to the flag was recited.

Jerry Callahan was present to question the zoning classification of the property that his sawmill equipment is on. All the files received from the county were reviewed. It appears that the rezoning was approved contingent upon cleanup of the property. Jerry contended that he was never aware of the county requiring the cleanup. He was asked why he wants the property to be zoned Commercial II. He stated that he wants to be able to keep all of the equipment and other items on the property. He is working on finishing the roof on the pole building. He stated that he works on it a little each year. It was stated that the property will need to be cleaned up regardless of what the zoning classification is. It was determined that the township planner will be asked to go through all the information that we have and provide an opinion on the zoning status of the property.

Recycling was discussed. Dave suggested looking into having a second roll off provided by a different company since the one we have cannot provide two containers. Ginny will look into this and will call Nisswa to see what they are willing to do.

Land use permits that are required but not obtained were discussed. The Planning  Commission will be asked to look at these and determine how to proceed.

Erin Road was discussed. The property owner at the end of the road asked if the road to his home which leads off the end of the cul de sac is private or township. It was determined that the township has no claim to that section. The property owner should check with the county to make sure they do not have authority over it. Otherwise it is considered a private road.

The LAPS garage sale will be held on July 22^nd through the 24^th. The board gave permission for it to be held at the town hall.

Violation letters prepared by the planning commission were reviewed and revised. It was determined that since there has been no response received to letters to James Wakefield that it is time to move ahead with cleanup enforcement. The attorney will be notified to begin the process.

Dave gave the road report. He will be getting bids for crack sealing.

Susie gave the treasurers report.

Greg made a motion to approve the minutes of the April 23rd as written with one minor correction. The motion was seconded by Dave and passed unanimously.

Correspondence was reviewed and the meeting adjourned by general consent at 9:00 p.m.
