Dan indicated that we do not know if the summons had been delivered.
D. Nathan Jensen stated that he is removing 5 acres of trees and will be building a new shop. The shop that is presently located in the floodplain will remain until the new shop is complete. Dan is checking further with the County.
E. Chuck & Linda Bullinger requested a variance for a shop. It was determined that the shop will not cover more than 4% of the lot size, therefore, a variance is not required.
F. Ordinance Committee Update and discussion
Terry indicated that the ordinance document had been reviewed by the attorney and his recommendations have been incorporated. The document is complete. Two readings are required for the document.
Dan made a motion to print 25 copies of the document.
Gaylen 2nd the motion
Vote: Dan - Yes, Gaylen - Yes, Brandon - Yes
Motion approved
F. Comprehensive Plan
The Township Association suggested that the township rewrite its Comprehensive Plan. It was discovered that the original plan was never filed. A new Comprehensive Plan needs to be written, approved, notarized, and filed before we hold a public hearing on the ordinances. Terry drafted a new Comprehensive Plan and recommended to the board that a motion be made to send the plan to the attorney for review.
Dan made a motion to send the plan to the attorney for review.
Galen 2nd the motion.
Vote: Dan - Yes, Gaylen - Yes, Brandon - Yes
Motion approved
Dan closed the zoning board meeting and resumed the township meeting.
5. New Business
A. Paper Vision (the township digital storage) Access
Sherry met with Fireside, the host of Paper Vision, to review the access and the documents in the application. Information can be added to the document tables that would allow better search results. Sherry plans to review the documents and add this information. This will take time. Sherry also requested that the board make a motion to use the Clerk's general township information to access paper vision. This would allow the board to have access, and when members of the board, clerk, treasurer, or zoning board change, you simply change the password and only give it to those previously mentioned.
Gaylen made a motion to have Sherry request a Clerk general township user name from Paper Vision.
Dan 2nd the motion.
Vote: Dan - Yes, Gaylen - Yes, Brandon - Yes
Motion approved
