Planning Commission Minutes—October 25, 2018 2 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Mr. Gust said he believes the current ordinance should be followed without a variance <br />to waive the deed restriction. If variances are needed then the ordinance should be <br />changed. <br /> <br />Mr. Lougheed said the intent is to protect landowner rights, and perhaps the Subdivision <br />Ordinance should be changed to include a type of public subdivision for utilities. <br /> <br />The public hearing was closed. <br />MOTION, passed <br />Mr. Gust moved and Mr. Rasmussen seconded to approve <br />the minor subdivision with the addition of a staff <br />recommendation that the structures from the current <br />substation be demolished, and to forward the <br />recommendation to the Cass County Commission. <br /> <br />Discussion: Mr. Ellig asked if the motion includes waiving <br />the 40-acre deed restriction. Mr. Gust said no. <br /> <br />Mr. Fischer asked if subdivision approval is contingent on <br />receiving approval from the township. Ms. Durand said yes. <br /> <br />On roll call vote, the motion carried with Mr. Lougheed, Mr. <br />Gust, Mr. Rasmussen, Mr. Olson, and Mr. Fisher voting <br />“Yes”; Mr. Ellig voting “No”. <br /> <br />4. NEW BUSINESS <br />Ms. Durand said her last day of employment as the Cass County Planner will be <br />tomorrow, October 26th. <br /> <br />Mr. Benson said the County Planner position is currently open for applications and will <br />close at the beginning of November. Hopefully the new Planner will have started <br />employment by the next regularly scheduled Planning Commission meeting, on <br />December 13th. In the interim, Mr. Benson and Deputy County Engineer Tom Soucy will <br />carry out the County Planner’s duties. <br /> <br />Mr. Lougheed thanked Ms. Durand for her service on behalf of the Cass County <br />Planning Commission. <br /> <br />5.
