A. Craig Miller and David Moch from Emmons County were in attendance to share information and lend advice. Emmons County charges 3% of estimated construction costs for conditional use permits. (their project was 118 million, the county got 4 million). This goes a long way for roads. It appears two more projects will be coming, a battery storage facility and a fiber optic. Cavendish Farms is also expanding its potato processing facility. Cavendish has also committed $10,000/per year to maintain the road.
Dave Moch from the zoning board indicated that the board began with the CO2 pipeline company, which sued to gain access to the land to conduct a survey. The Pipeline could run as close as 500 ft from a front door step. He indicated that they need help at the next legislative session. Tim Leppert is fighting the transmission line from Jamestown to Ellendale. A legislator stated that counties are getting in the way of what the legislature wants to do. Many landowners signed blanket easements, which means the pipeline has an easement for 99 years. Do strip easements, and if you are approached, get an attorney. They suggest joining the NW Landowners, out of Berthhold, Brad Leis, Troy Kunz, and Tim Leppert, who keep you informed about what's going on at the Capitol. David also suggested a decommission or bonding - you can look on their website for the cost. Summit Pipeline is not a common carrier in South Dakota. The ND PSC got Summit treated as a common carrier in ND. Do some research on the CO2 explosion in Mississippi.
They also suggest we do an Industrial Fee, and in your ordinances, make sure pipelines are 1.5 miles from a school and 1 mile from residents.
We thank Craig and David for their time.
Jared Hansen indicated that Moratorium #2 needed some work to make it clearer. Terry Woehl met with Jared after the meeting to incorporate appropriate changes.
Someone asked if the ordinances would be available to vote on at the annual meeting. Dan indicated that they would not be done and assured everyone they would not be sprung on them.
Chairman Reis closed the zoning board meeting and resumed the township meeting.
4. Old Business
A. Rick Johnson Property
Dan indicated that a permit has been issued for the modular home.
B. Holzer Property
Dan emailed our attorney today. There are lots of issues. Dan will continue to work with our attorney.
Brad Fisher was in attendance and indicated he was looking to buy the Holzer property. He needs both Jonathan's and Jessica's (the wife) signature; Jessica won't sign. Mertyl says she will get it figured out.
Clean up - the township will need to include in the contract what will be removed. The township will need a court order to go out on the property to determine what will be removed. Will need to include the Health Department - State or County.

The building in the floodway is for sale.
