Building Inspector’s Report: Inspector Hillig did not issue any building permits for March but he said there a few in the works for the near future. He had 2 framing inspections and 4 phone calls.

Framing Inspections:

  1. Nelson 55th Ave

  2. Morlock Lincoln Rd

Phone Calls:

  1. Foundation Requirements

  2. Insulating

  3. Framing

  4. Addition to existing

Road Supervisor’s Report: Supervisor Nehring said there are several people interested in the road supervisor position and asked the group if anyone there had an interest in the position.

Zoning Board Report: Supervisor Nehring introduced Roy Kuil who will be on the board replacing Rick Solberg as zoning board member. Terry Hoerer nuisance and debris issue. There was a discussion and the board agreed that it must be cleaned up. The opposition is afraid the board could get too aggressive about items on people’s property. Supervisor Nehring said he will contact Larry Severson from NDTOA to see if he has any suggestions on how to handle the situation and report back @ the May meeting. Chairman Springer will talk to Anton Sattler of the Bismarck Burleigh Public Health Department and report back @ the May meeting. Supervisor Selzler also wanted Ron King who lives on 80th St & Lincoln Road to be included in this because his property was never addressed properly years ago, and he has 19 vehicles on his property.

Weed Board: Mr. Mauch reported there are no weed complaints at this time.

Section Line Request: Supervisor Nehring suspended the regular meeting of ACT and opened the ACT Zoning Board. Dusty Hasper appeared before the board to inform them they are planning on building a new house and shop on the property formerly owned by Paul & Julie Zent @ 5100 93rd St SE. The house that is on the property will be sold and moved off. They would like to use the closed section line as a driveway to their property. Also discussed was the county does not expect that 48th Ave Section line will become a road for quite a long time, so Marcus Hall from Burleigh County Hwy Dept was ok with using it as a private drive. The trees on the south side of the section line are very close to the section line and would have to be removed. Supervisor Selzler suggested leaving the trees and in the future when a road would be built the trees could be addressed at that time. Mr. Hasper said he would build the road to county specs and would not expect to be compensated later for his expenses to build the road/driveway. Zoning Member Kuil suggested a written agreement between Mr. Hasper and ACT spelling out the details of the road/driveway. Supervisor Nehring stated the township would not pay for maintenance or gravel on the road/driveway and Mr. Hasper was agreeable to that. Supervisor Nehring said he would entertain a motion to approve the road/driveway contingent on execution of agreement between Mr. Hasper and ACT the motion was seconded by Supervisor Selzler. Roll Call Vote Supervisor Nehring, yes; Supervisor Selzler, yes; Zoning Member Kuil, yes and Chairman Springer, yes; motion carried.

Mr. Hasper is also asking for setback variance of 150’ from the center of the road instead of 175’ that is required in the ACT Zoning Regulations. Building Inspector Hillig said the Zent House is 125’ from the center of the road. Supervisor Nehring said there would have to be a Public Hearing which could be held in conjunction with the May 6th meeting of ACT. Mr. Hasper agreed to the time frame suggested by Supervisor Nehring.

Brandon Schoock asked if there was any update on the water tower road. Supervisor Nehring said the owner told him there were no issues to removing the stuff from the easement so the water line could be built. The road in question will need to be built to county specs.

Last item to discuss is the resignation of Supervisor Selzler. Nathan Kuntz had agreed to fill Supervisor Selzler’s term. Chairman Springer made a motion to approved Supervisor Selzler’s resignation and Supervisor Nehring 2nd the motion. The motion was unanimously approved. Supervisor Nehring made a motion to appoint Nathan Kuntz as Ken Selzler’s replacement 2nd by Chairman Springer. The motion was unanimously approved.

With no other business to discuss Supervisor Nehring adjourned the meeting.

Respectfully Submitted

Cyndy Meidinger, Clerk ACT
