A special meeting of the Grow Township Zoning and
Planning Commission was held February 15, 1972 at Crooked Lake
school. Chairman Norm Stout called the meeting to order at 7:35PM
with Commission members Christenson, Ho1asek, Jones, Langseth,
Nash and Rither present. Myron Roseland also present. Stout
stated that the meeting was called to consider the Roseland
application for a Special Use Permit. Christenson asked when the
Public Hearing had been held. Holasek stated that the notice had
been published in the paper. Rither reviewed the activities that
had taken place since the regular Commission meeting held on
January 25, 1972; (1) The Public Hearing was scheduled for the
January 25 meeting but that Roseland did not appear as required
by the Ordinance. (2} During the January 25 meeting, a member of
the Town Board called Roseland's house and was told that Roseland
was out plowing the township roads, was stuck and would attempt to
get Roseland to the meeting. (3) Commission passed over the
Roseland hearing in hopes that Roseland would appear before adjourn-
ment. (4) Commission tabled action on the Permit until the next
regular meeting. Rither noted that there were extenuating
circumstances in that Roseland was out plowing roads, was stuck
and therefore prevented from appearing at the meeting but that the
Ordinance requires the petitioner to be present. Nash noted that
if action was tabled until the next regular meeting, why, then,
should [the Hearing] be held at any other time. Roseland stated
that no one showed up at the meeting to complain. Nash stated that
he had no objection to that but the outcome would be questionable.
Stout stated that Supervisor Schneider had asked to get the meeting
going. Stout asked what should we do? Jones stated that if there
is no reason for our meeting then there is no reason for a motion.
Rither stated that ~veh though"no one appeared at the January 25
meeting to oppose the Permit, to take action at a special meeting
could lead to repercussions later on if someone objected to the
manner in which it was handled. Roseland Special Use application
to be considered at the February 29, 1972 meeting. It was moved
by Rither and seconded by Christenson to adjourn. Carried.
Meeting adjourned at 7:47 PM.
