OLD BUSINESS: CSM of J. VanderKinter (ND-87-2): Discussion with Atty. Sickel if the 3 acre parcel would still be grandfathered if re-surveyed from the 27.5 acre parent parcel.

REQUEST TO REZONE ND-650 FROM AG to AG-R (D. Krahn): Request to rezone 2 acres from ND-650 for the construction of a single family home. Matt Krahn submits a map from Brown Cty which states the flood plain is unmapped and provides attachments as to slope percentage. Per Smart Growth Plan, home site to be 300 ft from navigable stream.

P. 172 of the Smart Growth Plan provides for different slope percentages and home site distance depending upon whether it is an unmapped or mapped flood plain. Sup. Goestch would agree it looks like it should be unmapped. Currently the house is 235 ft from the flood plain area. Sup. Rabas raises concern about R. Kane Lane. It is a one lane road which would need improvement if more development is allowed. Sup. Goestch does not feel this is relevant to the rezoning request. Sup.

Sickel recommends this be referred to Plan Commission for review and a recommendation. A PUD could be desired if contiguous to the Village of Denmark. Motion by Sup. Goetsch and seconded by Sup. Rabas to refer to Plan Commission. MC
