Property located at 1966 and 2044 Liberty Road NE.  Tim Rock, applicant.  Legal description summary as follows: Section 10, Township 128, Range 37; S 333.51’ of N 667.35’ of SE4NE4 and S 333.17’ of N 1000.52’ of SE4NE4, 10 acre parcels each.

Chairman Steidl opened the meeting at 12:30 pm. The applicant was not present. No members of the public were in attendance. The Commission viewed the existing driveway coming off of County Road 73 that was to provide access to the landlocked parcel being proposed for subdivision. Chairman Steidl indicated to the rest of the Commission the location of the property boundaries to the west, which were marked with surveyor’s stakes and monuments. The Commission also viewed surveyors monuments placed on the east side of the driveway. Steidl noted how the existing driveway as it comes off of County Road 73, as per the property monuments and research by Zoning Administrator Oleson, is not within the easement and that the north end of the driveway would have to be relocated to within the staked easement.

 

  1. Adjournment – There being no further discussion or other site visits, the meeting was adjourned at 1:00 pm.
