Planning and Zoning Business — Bills, Invoices and Revenue Report — The Zoning bills and revenue report for January 2007 were reviewed by Committee members and signed by Chair Habhegger. Municipal Plats — none Code Administration Report — Grabau reported that a case involving illegal junk on the Comacho property on Highway 65 north of New Richmond was scheduled for court. Tenants on the property were conducting a business of collecting junk. The case was settled out of court on February 26. Tenants are to leave the property and clear the property by March 21. If property is not cleared by that time, enforcement action will be taken against the owner. Jennifer Havens talked to the owner several times to make sure the hazardous materials and appliances are handled and disposed of appropriately. Office Remodeling - Fodroczi stated that he reported to Chuck Whiting the P &Z Committee's actions from the last meeting to move Economic Development Corporation office within the suite. He hoped to go to the Finance Committee meeting this month, but that item will not be on the Finance agenda until the March 8 meeting which Fodroczi cannot attend. Buck Malick stated that he thought Finance Committee would approve the EDC move. Fodroczi will contact Ralph Robole about moving EDC within the suite. Personnel Update — Fodroczi reported that he and Grabau will be interviewing six selected candidates for the Zoning Technician position this week. There were 35 -40 applicants. 3 Office Manager Position - Fodroczi stated that there has been no progress in negotiations with the union on this position. The issue has reached a stalemate. He will meet with Chuck Whiting this day about changing the strategy. Land Use Ordinance Amendments — Sign Regulations — Fodroczi reported that the public information meeting the previous week went very well with good participation and a good balance of feedback. There were some expected misunderstandings, but real progress was made to provide accurate information and correct those misunderstandings. Obviously not everyone will be happy with the results. We should receive good input from the sign industry. He noted that the State has limited standards. Krueger mentioned that people with businesses along the Highway 35/64 alignment are upset. Some were allowed signs, some were not. Fodroczi stated that we should be able to help businesses get appropriate signs in those areas. The DOT has few regulations and the County ordinance will be more restrictive. Denzer distributed copies of the two comments that were received. Fodroczi also reported that three firms have been recommended by the Minnesota League of Municipalities to help with the sign ordinance revisions. Two are the most active firms regarding sign activity in the Twin Cities. One attorney had just drafted a whole set of sign ordinances. There should be funds in the budget to cover the expenses. Setback Provisions in Land Division Ordinance - A public hearing will be held on the following evening for one rezoning and the revised setback provisions. A Corporation Counsel intern reviewed the language and submitted feedback. Non - metallic Mining Ordinance - A few comments were received at the public information meeting. Most of the changes will be from requirements. The new fee schedule was reviewed and reflects the fees set by the State. Our fee schedule with those adjustments will be effective March 1. Motion by Krueger to change the nonmetallic fee schedule as presented. Motion 2nd by Troyer and carried.
