Hearing on an application requesting a Minor Subdivision Plat of Giermann Subdivision located in Section 9, Township 140 North, Range 52 West of the 5th Principal Meridian, Casselton Township, Cass County, North Dakota. Mr. Lougheed opened the public hearing. The applicant is seeking approval of a minor subdivision entitled Giermann Subdivision to plat a one (1) Lot subdivision of approximately 11.67 acres. According to the applicant, the subdivision is requested to split the existing farmstead off from the farmland. The proposed ownership and maintenance responsibility of the subdivision will be private. The subdivision will use an existing 154th Ave SE road access, ditches for storm sewer conveyance, rural water, and on-site septic systems for wastewater treatment. Mr. Monson asked why the grain bins are being left out of the plat. Mr. Bertsch said that often it is due to financing a mortgage, as banks do not like to see extra building where they may not be functional. Mr. Gust asked if there is a road easement that allows access. Mr. Benson confirmed that is correct. Upon hearing no additional public comments, the public hearing was closed.
