Item#1 Final Approval Cedar Ridge Subdivision 10200 n. 5200 w.-Councilmember Hardy ask why are we having the meeting today and not on the regularly town council meeting. 6 days in not enough time we shouldn't jump through this. Roger Munns stated I don't think we have had enough time to do anything, I have farmed the ground for 49 years the ditch easement is based on several things. I want it resolved as quickly as possible but it needs to be done right. We think the best thing to do is pipe the ditch, you are treating the developers better than the Elwood residents. Brandon Green stated the issue at hand is the final for the subdivision there is no easement for the ditch. The Town is doing its job, it's following the ordinances. There is a 5 feet easement on the property, the ditch is on the other property. There are no bylaws for this ditch and that becomes the challenge. I think the ditch is very important but today the item is to approve the final approval for the subdivision. As the city planner I'm just doing my job. Councilmember Hardy asked did this ditch water this property, there had to be some easements over the years. Brandon Green stated no that's not the case, these are difficult situations. The town doesn't own the ditch so the town can't make decisions on the ditch. Rue Rasmussen stated this ditch has been there for 100 years. My dad was the secretary of the Elwood combined ditch company. I go up to Buchanan's to make sure the water is turned down to me. Genneva Blanchard stated I appreciate everyone that came today I asked for a special meeting the issues we are dealing with has nothing to do with the town. I've have done everything in your code, we have been very generous with the 5 feet for the easement. I respect the ditch company for being here, but no one from the ditch company reached out to me. I want to remind you that the ditch has nothing to do with the town. I would have been more to willing to work with them but I was treated badly. I need to move forward on the subdivision. Steve Woerner stated at the last meeting you was here to approve the final subdivision plat. The plat has been reviewed by the board, we made the recommendation to not pipe the ditch. The ditch did not run on the subdivision boundary there for we didn't require the ditch to be piped. I have no interest in the ditch or subdivision we are looking out for Elwood and its best interest. Councilmember Lay reported that John Hansen is Genneva boss and John and I are working on another deal outside the county. Genneva stated that John was not her boss anymore. Roger Munns said he would be will to pipe all the way down to your subdivision and maybe the property owner would be able to help pipe the rest. Councilmember Pace made a motion to approve the final plat for the Cedar Ridge Subdivision, Councilmember Hardy seconded the motion, Mayor Protem was in favor of the motion. Councilmember Lay abstained. Councilmember Lay made a motion to adjourn, Councilmember Hardy seconded the motion, and the remaining council agreed. The meeting was adjourned at 3:35p.m. The undersigned duly acting and appointed clerk for Elwood Town Corporation hereby certifies that the foregoing is a true and correct copy of the Town Council meeting minutes held on the 18th day of Nov 2024. Dated this the 11th day of Feb 2025. ________________________________ Gina R Marble, Elwood Town Clerk
