Planning Commission Members Carl Swenson, Clayton Berg, Wilmer Nordin,
Larry Fournier, Ingall Roskaft and Ronald Van Tassel met with the Town
Board at this time to discuss the Comprehensive Plan. The Planning Com-
mission expressed the need of having a Comprehensive Plan to serve as a
guide line to regulate the residential and commercial growth of the
Township.
Clayton Berg suggested that the Township should have more control
over Planning and Zoning and not depend on the County.
The Board and the Planning Commission were in agreement that the
area north of 77th street and east of Needham avenue should be consid-
ered residential area with the exception of the flood plain area east
of Highway 101 and north of 80th Street.
After discussion the Board and Planning Commission reached agree-
ment that the area north of Co. #39 from Needham Avenue to the west bor-
der of the Township should remain agriculatural with the exception of
the areas already residential or commercial, the reason being there is
considerable good agriculatural land in that area and plenty of land
available yet in the residential area north of 77th Street and east of
Needham Avenue. The Board also expressed the need of attempting to
keep the residential growth consolidated to one area in the event it
become necessary to install water and sewer systems.
Motion by Douglas Lindenfelser to have the area north of 77th
Street and east of Needham Avenue, (with the exception of the area
east of Hwy #101 and north of 80th Street) as residential. Seconded
by William Schulz, passed unanimously.
On motion the meeting adjourned.
