The Council reviewed the Conditional Use Permit request for Todd Kasper

Administrator Kevin Mealhouse listed conditions upon which approval should be
granted and the Planning Commission has recommended the CUP be granted
contingent upon Kasper meeting all conditions listed in Mealhouse's findings.
Stalberger made a motion to grant a Conditional Use Permit to Todd

Kevin Conway, representing both the current owners and the potential
developer of the properties south of CSAH 18, presented a concept plan for those
properties. The concept requires a PUD zoning due to several unique problems
with the property--a 240' NSP easement, a 75' Amoco easement, County Ditch 9,
and acres of wetlands. The concept plan proposes a total of 358 single family lots,
of which 275 lots are 89 feet in width or less with a minimum lot area of 12,500
square feet. Conway asked for feedback from the Council regarding this concept
plan.
Gundersen and Stalberger both felt that too many of the lots were too
narrow. Vetsch was concerned that the smaller lot widths would prohibit homes
with three-car garages to be constructed, as well as prohibits side additions, such a
three season porch or deck.
