Motion by Neuman, seconded by Menter to approve the minutes as mailed. Motion carried. OLD BUSINESS Nelson stated that this was back before the Board because of several unanswered questions that came up after the site visit last month. One of these questions was how the original access permit was issued. Having checked with the County Highway Department, a permit was issued back in 1988 for access to C.T.H. "V". The construction of this drive did not follow the private easement or access onto C.T.H. "V" perpendicularly as it should have. Now that this access is serving as a point access, there is the need to exceed the twenty-four (24) foot width standard. After a brief discussion it was agreed that it would be better to rehear and view this site at the May meeting when the snow is gone. At this same time someone representing the Highway Department should be in attendance to answer questions. -kwj,h C li)ul Nelson stated that Mr. Blekum was back before the Board requesting an extension of six (6) months beyond the one (1) year permit originally granted. The permit granted was for a temporary occupancy permit in a trailer while Blekum constructed his house. Health problems, weather and unforeseen construction delays have slowed the construction. The township of St. Joseph supports the proposal. Motion by Menter, seconded by Neuman to grant a six (6) month extension for the temporary occupancy use permit of the trailer so construction can be continued.
