A. Rick Johnson - Mobile Home without a permit
According to Mitch, Rick Johnson moved a mobile home on his property
around Sept/Oct of last year. No permits were requested for the mobile home
or Sewer/water/electrical. Two letters were previously sent indicating the property is not properly permitted nor are mobile homes allowed. Mitch sent a Stop Work Order on May 8th after finding out that entryway was being added to the property. Rick had 30days from that date to respond or appeal. Rick contacted Mitch and requested an appeal which is why this agenda item was added. However Rick did not show up at this meeting. Therefore his appeal process was nullified. The board is contacting the lawyer to have him send Rick a letter to indicate the mobile home has to be removed through the legal process and as fast as the law/courts allow.
Zoning Supervisor Kunz made a motion to deny Mr. Johnon's appeal and demand the mobile home is removed as soon as possible.
Supervisor Reis 2nd the motion.
Vote: Dan - Yes, Gaylen - Yes, Monte - Yes, Terry - Yes, Jerry - Yes
Motion approved.
B. John Holzer - vehicles and misc items on property
A letter was attempted to be delivered by the Sheriff to Myrtle Holzer at
9164 Bar-D Road, Bismarck, ND 58504. The letter indicated that they are
breaking the zoning ordinances 7.2 and 7.3 because of the vehicles and
other items all over the property. Myrtle can request a hearing or comply
with bringing the property into compliance within 15 days of the date of the
lettter, which was May 29, 2024. Failure to do one of these can result in
a $2,000 fine and additional costs incurred by the township to bring the
property into compliance.
There were other citizens present that suggested the properties are in such
poor condition that they should simply be condemned because they are both
fire and health hazards. The board advised they don't have the power to condemn and can only action violations of the ordinances.
C. Terry, Jerry and Monte went to a Lincoln meeting because the city is wanting
to annex 426 acres that is already in Lincolns ETA. This property is between
22nd Ave SE and Lincoln Rd. it is behind the housing development on 66th St
and formerly Club Fido(a map was provided at the meeting). The owners
of this property intend on turning it into a housing development. There
does not seem to be a way to stop this or appeal, because it is in Lincoln's ETA.

of structure.
