DAKOTA COUNTY PLANNING & ZONING: Tuesday October 21, 2008
A regular meeting was called to order at 7:00 P.M. by Vice-President Jim Jepsen and the Pledge of Allegiance was said by all. Present were: Jim Jepsen, Dick McCabe, Dick McNear, Marlan Millard, Neil Miller, and Gene Cantrell. Absent: Joe O’Neill, Jim Crosgrove, and Martin Rohde. Also present: interim-Planning and Zoning Administrator Arnie Mellick, Dakota County Commissioner Jackie Hartnett, Dennis Reinert, Lue Franco, Aaron Kraft, Mike Madsen and Milo Birkley.
Moved by Neil Miller, second by Marlan Millard to approve minutes for the September meeting. Motion carried.
First item on the agenda was Aaron Kraft from Waste Water Management to address the board about sludge. He is seeking a one time only need to knife in the waste in Dakota County. After that, Gill Landfill will take the waste and make use of it at there facility. After discussion by the planning and zoning members, it was decided that since there was nothing in the regulations pertaining to this, Waste Water Management would need to seek approval from the Board of Commissioners at their next meeting.
Next on the agenda, is the Towing and Wrecker service. For some reason the regulations that they agreed upon in August, never made it to the Board of Commissioners for approval. Motion was made by Neil Miller second by Marlan Millard to send the towing regulations back to the Board of Commissioners for approval. Roll Call vote: Motion carried. It was also discussed that if the Board of Commissioners make a motion regarding sludge at their next meeting, that they could send a recommendation back to the P&Z commission to incorporate sludge into their regulations. Neil Miller made a motion second by Gene Cantrell to correct the typo on Curtis Arndts conditional use permit and reissue it. Roll Call vote: Motion carried.
Next on the agenda is discussion of zoning administrator. Jackie stated that Arnie Mellick will be the interim-administrator until January when the new commissioners decide what to do. Jackie said that he gets off work at 3:30 and can take planning and zoning questions after that.
Next on the agenda is reviewing the bylaws. The board briefly discussed membership terms and that if someone wants off the Planning and Zoning board, they need to send in a letter of resignation. The next meeting, they would like to have reviewing the book on the agenda.
For old business, Rod Krahmer was issued a building permit, but he is in Jackson’s town limits, so he was refunded his building permit.
For public comment, Dennis Reinert addressed the board on 2 issues. First, Dennis stated that if the P&Z board is to do anything with sludge that they need to have a public hearing for the purpose of making new regulations. Secondly, Dennis stated that reissuing a new Conditional Use permit with the typo error corrected for Curtis Arndt should not be done until a definition for towing regulations and conditions of that permit are established. He referred back to a letter from the county attorney that was sent out earlier this year advising this. The board stated that as far as the sludge is concerned, that they have had many public hearings in the past discussing sludge and that before anything is added to the books, that there would be more public hearings. As for Curtis Arndts conditional use permit, Arnie will be speaking the county attorney on this matter.
Motion made by Gene Cantrell, second by Neil Miller to adjourn. Motion carried. Meeting was duly adjourned at 8:10 P.M. Respectfully submitted,
Jolene Gubbels
