The regularly scheduled monthly meeting of the Grow
Township Planning and Zoning Commission was held October 30,
1973 at the Crooked Lake school. Chairman Art Jaworski called
the meeting to order at 7:35 PM with Commission members Bush,
Johnson, Miles, Newell, Rither, and VanderLaan present.
It was moved by Newell, seconded by Miles, that the
September 25, 1973 minutes be approved as read. Motion carried.
Chairman noted that the application for a variance
by Al Parent had been postponed at the request of the applicant.
Commission discussed the status of the Comprehensive
Plan and Incorporation Petition. Jaworski stated that the
Town Board, Attorney, and Planner will be scheduling meetings
in preparation for the NOvember appearance before the r~c.
Commission discussed the possibility of amending
the Subidividing and Platting Ordinance #10. Jaworski noted
that he had discussed the proposal with Supervisors Holasek
and Christenson and that they indicated that the Commission
should proceed. Newell discussed May Township interest in the
twenty acres lot size minimum. According to Newell, the contact
in May Township indicated that the twenty acre minimum is not
as bad as first thought; that with the protection of the minimum
size, the proposal becomes more attractive in knowing that there
will be no pressure to further subdivide the lot. Jaworski noted
the problems which arise with conveyance via metes and bounds
with respect to road placement and the development of a major
thoroughfare plan and also road maintainance. Jaworski noted
that the Board wants a proposal for reviewal and if it is
acceptable to the Board then the necessary public hearing will
be held. Rither noted the proposed Interim Land Use Plan dated
Septmeber 4, 1973 and suggested that the Commission consider its
adoption noting that it would tie in with what the Comprehensive
Plan sets out to do. Johnson agreed, stating that the Interim
Land Use Plan would (1) implement the twenty acre minimum lot
size and, (2) solve the problem regarding the conveyance of
five acre tracts strung out along County roads and also those
of the Township. Commission discussed the Capital Improvements
Plan, noting that clarification should be sought from the
planner regarding the CIP. Commission agreed that any solution
should not be a stop-gap effort, that the proper Ordinance or
Ordinances should be amended and that any proposal should go
along with the proposed Comprehensive Plan. It was moved by
Newell, seconded by Miles, to continue the discussion with
the Planner at the November 6, 1973 Comprehensive Plan meeting.
Motion carried unanimously .
Discussion was held regarding the proposed Horse
Ordinance. Jaworski noted that the Town Board of Supervisors
directed the Commission to develop said ordinance; reviewed
Ordinance #$, 3.02 (C)(D), noting that at the present time there
is no provision to regulate horses and therefore difficult to
resolve a problem with them. Glen Logas, 15607 Kumquat St r~f
presented Horse Ordinance from Ham Lake Township (#17) and noted
the Village of East Bethel Ordinance is presently at the printers
and not yet available. Logas also suggested that a horse
committee, comprised of resdients, be formed to handle all
