Saturday, for example, water went down. We need a protocol list for water down and other vital functions. We need a copy of any keys in the office if needed.

We will probably have to hire someone to prune them if we decide to have them pruned. And the Wilson's tree is not out in the road. d. Dave Lee via Judy Downs: i. Planning and zoning the penalties code to replace our outdated Chapter 6 if we have anyone in violation of code it clears up what steps the town and the violator needs to do. The council sends this forward to the council with their approval. Vote from Planning and Zoning. 1. Aye 3 2. Nay 0 ii. Planning and zoning 23.16 the accessory apartments within residential dwellings submitted by Howard Kunz. Positive points would be condensing housing that is already here, it would protect farming land. Negative points from the public hearing most people of the town are opposed to this it will create two homes on one lot making it more condensed. Some suggestions is that you would have to have a minimum of 2 acres of property to prevent it from being so condensed. Septic could be a problem. Parking could be an issue. Most people in the town are against this. Votes from planning and zoning 1. Aye 1 2. Nay 2 iii. 8.1 Mobile home. would take homes that are already on the property and fix them up for full-time farm workers instead of more mobile home. This would mean any building on the farm could be fixed and turned into a dwelling. These buildings need to be inspected by the county and approved by the county. This would have to be a bonified farm worker who works 40 hours per week and immediate family only. Recommend it with some changes. Question who would be in charge of verifying that farm workers are living in them? The way things are now once we get a complaint it then goes to planning and zoning to verify that there is a full-time farm worker. Recommend that the line conditional use be removed. Would that ordinance stay with the land? Moved it forward with building permit and bear river health department. Votes from planning and zoning. 1. Aye 3 2. Nay 0 iv. Judy Downs this is my final planning and Zoning meeting. Mike Diehl has already turned in his notice to the Mayor. 13. Mayor's report (wasn't in attendance) 14. Pay the bills a. Motion to approve for $43,740.68 Mark Cowley b. 2nd Colette Dursteler 15. Items for July Council Meeting a. Have Tad Come in and finish setting up emails. 16. Adjournment a. Motion to Adjourn Colette Dursteler b. 2nd Mark Cowley
