About 80 parties attended this informative seminar.

The letter outlined changes on Bass Lake, in conjunction with the lake district pumping project. See attachment marked handout number one. Discussion. The position of the Zoning Department is they will not involve themselves beyond a special exception permit at this time. Supervisor Jensen will speak to Pete Kling from the Land Conservation Department on the issues. The County will not get involved until the issues are resolved. Discussion of Riverway Boundary Locations Disscussion was held on the Riverway Boundary locations. A memorandum was presented to the Committee. After having conducted field investigations of the boundary locations, the Committee finds the boundaries of the district to be accurately represented on the official County zoning maps and are hereby recognized by the Committee as the official boundaries of the district. Due to the unique nature of the properties found within the district, their exceptional scenic and natural characteristics, and the sensitive nature of these sites, that the locations of these boundaries will not be amended or otherwise altered. 2 Amendment to Fee Schedules I Fisher requested an extension on fee schedules, as the staff is continuing to research accurate information with the Highway and Land Conservation Departments. The Committee granted that extension. The next regular Committee meeting on February 23rd will complete the amendment and the ordinance revision. PARK BUSINESS Park Bills & Invoices Park Director Joe Grant presented a list of the January bills for $7973.06. Motion by Larson, seconded by Jensen to approve bills. Motion carried. Grant will seek the advice of the Finance Department regarding the tractor repair as a line item transfer from 1998 budget. Perch Lake-Phase I Engineering Grant presented the preliminary results of highway inspection of the park in preparation for prelininary engineering estimates. It was decided to review the final estimates at the March meeting.. Glen Hills Park-Maintenance Building Grant sent a request for bids on the Glen Hills Park Maintenance Building. He ran the ad for two weeks in the New Richmond News. He also sent a proposal to the Northwest Builder's Exchange and ten contractors and five subcontractors. He reviewed the floor plan with the Committee, stating the State may have different specs if this building is used for workshop. Grant requested bids by February 19th, Finance and Administration were sent the report only. Tom Dorsey requested Grant to inform County Administrator and Finance that the cost factor is more than budget. Grant will report to the Committee on February 23rd the status of the bids. Troy Park Road Certificate of liability insurance and performance bond is on file. Work was started on Troy Park Road on January 18th. It is expected that work on the road will take about a month. Grant reported inspections are being done daily and some scuffing on the seal coat has been noted. The Committee instructed Grant that daily inspections were no longer necessary with the bond on file. Pine Lake Park-Alliance Grant The cost of riprap was $4,134.00 on this project. Additional work was needed for a cost of $1,168.00. Total cost of the project was $5,302.00 of which $4,016.00 was grant money. The Conservation Aids Fund will pick up the balance owed. Grant added that aerators in Pine Lake are running. One line is still frozen, but Grant is attempting to rectify the situation. The Department of Natural Resources have taken oxygen level readings and are pleased with those numbers. 3 Snowmobile Association Snowmobile trails are now open. The groomers report heavy trail use. Grant had word of a snowmobile accident on January 14th about 5:00 p.m. near Woodville. Grant understands that both drivers were air lifted to medical facilities with head and chest injuries. Grant has read the police report of the incident, but has not yet been contacted concerning the incident. Other Business The Highway Department completed the Woodville Trail Grant. Parks received a final grant disbursement of $30,000.00; indicating that project is complete. A meeting with Woodville Trail Advisory Team will be held this summer to decided what work will be completed. PLANNING BUSINESS Planning Bills, Invoices & Revenue Report Committee members reviewed the Revenue Report. Planning Department bills for the month of December totaled $2,192.94. Motion by Luckey, seconded by Larson to approve bills as submitted for December. Motion carried. Development Management Plan and Ordinance Planning Director Dave Fodroczi gave each Committee member a copy of the opinion poll results from the meetings held with Town Boards, Town Clerks and Town Planning and Zoning Committee Members. The results were divided into three groups, Town Board members, Town residents and Planning Committee members. Alternative number four, which provides more density, received the most points among all groups polled. Alternative number three, the draft plan with revisions, received the next highest point total. Discussion. Chairperson Raymond requested Fodroczi explain all alternatives again for clarification. Lengthy discussion on density. Fodroczi reviewed the potential allocation of new zoning districts for Baldwin and Hammond. If Baldwin was allowed an average gross density of four per forty, the number of dwelling units would be 2,227 with a population of 5567 people. There is still concern about the potential impact on private property. Discussion. Fodroczi reaffirmed the Plan is only meant to be a guide. Land Records Budget-Land Information Plan Fodroczi met with the Land Records Committee members last week and is waiting for information from the State, in terms of some inventory information for the land information plan. They have looked at some examples and need to have the County's plan updated during the first half of this year. They are looking at a ten or fifteen page document on what has been accomplished in the last five years, and what they expect to accomplish in the next five. The Land Records budget was discussed. We have an additional $30,000.00 in revenues for 1998 which was not expected. Additional funding will not be requested until the plan is complete. Fodroczi feels confident that they will meet the timelines imposed by the State. 4 GPS Cost Share Agreement Fodroczi reported he met with the Land Records Committee last week concerning the GPS Cost Share Agreement with the Land Records Committee and is awaiting the final numbers from Highway. Fodroczi explained the new system and how the satellite works. Work could be completed on establishing coordinates on the section corners in as little as five years.
