Brad Arnold shared that Justin Barnhart owner of the BMX track was in attendance at the planning commission meeting the evening before to discuss his plans for getting a new gate on the entrance.  He also would like to relocate the canopy area elsewhere to make a picnic area.  A new storage shed would be added to the property and others removed.  The staging area would also be raised.  He is in the process of creating drawings/plans to submit to the planning commission.

The planning commission had a public hearing the previous evening and heard a request for rezoning from applicant Matt Cool to rezone a 46 acre tract from “Rural Residential 10” to “Commercial 2”.   Justin Burslie (planning administrator) along with the planning commission board is recommending the rezone be approved based on the findings of fact that were presented to the board & contingent on approval from MnDOT.  Greg made a motion to accept the rezoning as stated.  Mark seconded the motion.  Motion passed.  Joshua Neelan will have a follow-up inspection on his property by the planning commission (at his expense) as planned with him this past fall.  Jamie Markuson will be sent a letter regarding the need to submit plans for a conforming septic system or sanitary system that meets state approval and driveway plans/permit (cannot be using the ditch to get onto his property) and build-up of junk on property.  An additional follow-up letter to Lesly Juaire regarding a property inspection this spring was also discussed.
