Planning Commission Minutes – May 26, 2022 2 2. Hearing on an application requesting a Major Subdivision Plat of TEPI Third Subdivision located in Section 33, Township 140 North, Range 52 West of the 5th Principal Meridian, Casselton Township, Cass County North Dakota. Mr. Lougheed opened the public hearing. Ms. Puppe provided an overview of an applicant seeking approval of a minor subdivision entitled TEPI Third Subdivision to plat a seven (7) Lot subdivision of approximately 498.15 acres. According to the applicant, the plat of TEPI Third Subdivision was approved by the City of Casselton, North Dakota and recorded in the Cass County, North Dakota Recorder’s Office on December 19, 2013, as Document No. 1407712. A consent and joinder by Cass County is required because a portion of such plat lies within the City of Casselton’s ETJ (shared jurisdiction with Cass County) and the other portion of such plat lies outside of the ETJ. This application is being made to cure the jurisdictional defect of such plat by retroactively obtaining Cass County’s consent to and approval thereof. The proposed ownership and maintenance responsibility of the subdivision will be private. The subdivision will use an existing 153rd Ave SE (County Road 23) road access, ditches and storm sewer system for storm sewer conveyance, rural water, and on-site septic systems for wastewater treatment. Dan Buede explained that the plat was previously platted through the City of Casselton and the County was not included as an oversight of the ETJ area. The idea of a consent and joinder came about to correct this and include the County in the approval of this plat. There has been preliminary discussion with the City of Casselton about annexing the property or coming up with an agreement to control zoning/subdivision with the township and County. Mr. Benson went over the access to the county road and addressed traffic concerns for this property. The current property has paved roads, stormwater pond, lighting and access to internal lots. MOTION, passed Dr. Mahoney moved and Commissioner Scherling seconded to accept the findings and recommend approval to the County Commission with any conditions outlined by the County Planner. On a roll call vote with all in favor, motion carried. 3.
