Town of Garfield Planning Commission Secretary’s Minutes Meeting

of 7/12/07

In attendance: Orval Johnson, Chair; Marilyn Buckingham, Member; Gordan Lindahl,

member; Sylvan Erickson, Secretary; Scott Ward and Suzanne Peeples of Stevens

Engineering.

Guest: Ed Gullickson, Town Chair; Dan Sitz of Stevens Engineering.

Absent: Mark Knutson, Member

The meeting was called to order at 7:00 p.m.

The minutes of 6/14/07 were approved as presented. [Gordan/Orval]

RE: Brandon Olson request to sub-divide lot 28 and lot 29, part of Government Lot 5,

Section 5, T33N, R17W.

After discussion of driveway concerns and seeing no conflicts with the existing driveway

ordinance, a motion was made to forward the plan to the Town Board for approval.

[Gordan/Marilyn] Motion carried. This completed the preliminary plat approval process.

RE: Mark Andren request to sub-divide 11 acres off of 80 acres described as the NE of

the NE of Section 21, T33N, R17W.

A motion was made to forward the plan to the Town Board for approval.

[Gordan/Marilyn] Motion carried. This completed the preliminary plat approval process.

RE: Dave Bowman request for advice on driveway issues related to lot 2 of CSM 4600.

The committee discussed the pros and cons of allowing a new driveway and allowing

three residences to share one driveway. It was determined that allowing three residences

to use the existing driveway belonging Bob Stam was favorable. A permanent easement

must be given by Bob Stam, the shared portion be built to Garfield Town road

specifications (except blacktop) and a hammer-head be built at the first driveway. We

would require approval by the Scott Ward, Town of Garfield engineer.

This completes the concept review process.

Dan Sitz led a SWOT (Strength, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats) discussion on

Utilities and Community Facilities.

Prior to the next meeting, committee members should read elements two, three, four and

five and e-mail comments regarding goals, objectives, policies and programs to Suzanne

or Dan.

Meeting adjourned at 9:00 p.m.

Respectfully submitted, Sylvan Erickson
