Town of Garfield Plan Commission Secretary’s Minutes Meeting
of 10/08/09
Meeting called to order at 7:05 p.m.
In attendance: Orval Johnson, Chairman; Ed Moersfelder, Member; George Stroebel,
Member; Gordon Lindahl, Member; Sylvan Erickson, Secretary; Nolan Wall, Planner
from Stevens Engineers.
The minutes of September 10th, 2009 were read and approved as written. [George/Ed]
Regarding Brock Olson property, letters were sent to owners of contiguous property and
receipts were provided. Setbacks were adequate because the road severs the property
creating no riparian access. We recommend the town board approve the plat and that the
two driveways be allowed because they have been in existence for an extended period of
time. [George/Ed]
The “Junk Ordinance” will be named the Property Maintenance Ordinance. After
discussion, we determined we will not include inoperable farm machinery in the
ordinance. There was significant discussion of other changes and these changes will be
reflected in the next draft.
Angela Popenhagen led a discussion of impact fees. We determined to include only
80th/85th Avenue located between Cnty Y and Hwy 65, and 180th Street/Big Lake Drive
South of 80th Avenue to the Western most edge of the Town of Garfield.
We discussed the tentative timeline for developing a zoning code.
These minutes were read and approved at the end of the meeting. [Ed/George]
The meeting was adjourned.
Respectfully submitted,
Sylvan Erickson, Secretary.
