Zoning Certificates

Leon Hanson- 100 McKinzie Circle, Cannon Falls, MN 55009-Requested information on land currently owned by Jim Simon, approximately 25 acres. Currently zoned by the county as A-3, with a 35acre minimum.  Mr. Hanson proposed 2 homes on 18-19 acres. Stanton Township ordinance setbacks could be satisfied, however, density requirements could not.  Mr. Hanson was advised that a public hearing, at minimum, would be required by both the county and Stanton Township on any variance or rezoning.  Mr. Hanson was, also, advised that Mr. Simon would need to submit the application, as he is the current legal property owner. Straw poll of PC members indicated conflict and a desire for additional information.  

Riverwood Community Church- Steve Prestegard, representing Riverwood Community Church, requested a Zoning Certificate for a church building in Stanton Township, along Hwy. 19.  Permit processes and time-lines were discussed. Paul Schluter made a motion to grant a Zoning Certificate to Riverwood Community Church.  John Krantz seconded the motion.  The motion passed 5/0.

Steve Emery- requested a zoning certificate for a calf shed, 110x34.   Mark requested that Mr. Emery return with site/construction plans for the building.  Mark made a motion to recommend to the Town Board a zoning certificate provided that drawings would be submitted, indicating setbacks. Neal Sjoquist seconded the motion.  The motion passed 5/0.
