PLANNING DEPARTSENT, Public hearing on Replat of Lots 3 & 4, Block 1, Holmen's 3rd Subdivision; chairman authorized to sign final plat The Chairman declared the time open for a public hearing on the application for subdivision approval submitted by Chip Larkin for the Replat of Lots 3 & 4, Block 1, Holmen's 3rd Subdivision. No one present during the public hearing asked to speak to the Commission so the Chairman asked County Planner Earl Haugen to proceed. Mr. Haugen said the Cass County Planning Department and the Stanley Township Board of Supervisors recommend that the plat be approved. He said the applicants have met all requirements of the Cass County Subdivision Regulations and Stanley Township zoning ordinances. MOTION, passed Sr. Wieland moved and Mr. Eckert seconded to approve the final plat of the "Replat of Lots 3 & 4, Block 1, Holmen's Third Subdivision;" and allow the chairman to sign the final plat. On roll call vote, motion carried unanimously. SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT BOARD, Selection of board delayed Recent legislation mandates the creation of eight solid waste management districts in North Dakota with the following options for board membership: 1) creation of a new board with specified membership, or 2) utilizing existing regional councils. Mr. Haugen said the Cass County Solid Waste Advisory Council and the Cass County Planning Commission recommend option #1 because it allows for the selection of representatives knowledgeable about solid waste management. They further recommend that the Lake Agassiz Regional Council (LARC) be asked to help facilitate the board formation. Mr. Shannon said Pat Zavoral from the City of Fargo Planning Commission is concerned about a duplication of effort and would like to speak to Commissioners about it. Mr. Haugen thought he would have voiced his concerns prior to this time. Mr. Shannon suggested delaying this item until the next meeting, but Mr. Haugen said (LARC) is meeting on August 23rd and he hoped the Cass County Commission would take action by that time. Mr. Wieland said he supports the creation of a new board but is willing to allow input from Mr. Zavoral. He suggested writing a letter to LARC and sending it with Cass County's representative, Steve Risher, saying the Commission is waiting for further information from Mr. Zavoral on the subject.
