PLANNING AND ZONING:
Dropik property. Zoning Administrator Oleson reported that he, along with Supervisors Eldevik and Wright, met with Billie Dropik. They noted approximately150 vehicles have been removed with about 70 vehicles remaining. Oleson stated a letter was sent to Mr. Dropik stipulating the June 1st deadline for removal. While they were onsite, the discussion centered around an extension to July 1st. Consensus to have Mr. Kraemer, Oleson and two supervisors meet with Mr. Dropik in the next week onsite. Oleson to communicate to Mr. Dropik that total removal will need to be done by July 1, 2026. If no progress has been made at the time of viewing, the township will take action to have the remainder of the vehicles removed.
Addressing. Oleson reported a problem has arisen regarding addressing for accessory buildings on vacant lots. The county does not wish to address lots without a dwelling on them. The city building official claims per the building code that all buildings shall be addressed, regardless of living quarters. Oleson stated the township currently has two landowners caught in this conflict. Consensus to have Oleson contact the county to encourage them to issue addresses for these two properties.
