PLANNNING AND ZONING: Zoning Administrator Olson presented
information regarding Outlot A of Lake Jessie Meadows. Riley Brothers have purchased the lot and has
requested that the lot be converted into a buildable lot. Some of the conditions that have to be met
are that the county has to vacate a portion of road easement that is not longer
needed because of the relocation of the road and that ALASD has to install a
sewer stub. In addition, the township
board would have to either approve construction or improvements on the outlot
or require that the outlot be replatted.
The documentation form the final plat of Lake Jessie Meadows stated that
Outlot A needs to be replatted prior to issuance of a building permit. The board also discussed drainage through
this lot. It is the recommendation of
the zoning staff and Douglas County staff that the lot should be
replatted.
Mike Nyberg, representing the
developer, indicated that the preliminary plat of the replatted lot would not
change in boundary and would cost the developer approximately an additional
$1,000 to replat. Ross, seconded by
Alstead, made a motion to accept the recommendation of the zoning administrator
and Douglas County staff to require that Outlot A, Jessie Meadows be replatted
prior to issuance of a building permit.
Motion carried unanimous.
Zoning Administrator Oleson
reported that Douglas County would be completing additional low-level flights
over Alexandria Township to take aerial photos and inquired if the township
would be interested in paying for the cost to take detailed photos of the
township at an estimated cost of $5,000.
The board was in consensus to decline the over since Zoning
Administrator Oleson and Engineer Kuhn indicated that these detailed photos
would be nice but needed to complete their work.
Zoning Administrator Oleson
indicated that he is finishing the end of the year zoning report and will be
distributing to the board in the near future.
ENGINEER’S REPORT: Engineer Kuhn reported that the Assistant
City Planner has contacted him requesting information in regard to the
Whispering Oaks drainage.
NEW BUSINESS: Supervisor Ross thanked Zoning Administrator Oleson for the detailed zoning report and indicated that the thoroughness of the report assists the board in making decisions.
Being no further business Ross, seconded by Dahlheimer, made a motion to adjourn the meeting. Meeting adjourned at 6:34 PM.
